A regional hospital with more than 883 hospital beds requested Advanced Networks to perform a LBS and VoWLAN site survey for the hospital.

As the operator of the world's largest container terminal in Singapore, and other large-scale projects in locations such as the port of Antwerp, the group currently processes some 160,000 containers per day, which amounted to a total for 2007 of nearly 60 million containers.

To guarantee continuous container activity, well maintained cranes are fundamental. These cranes are monitored by a monitoring system that runs over Wi-Fi. Monitoring alerts will be send over the WLAN infrastructure so that maintenance personnel can troubleshoot the defect before going to the crane itself which will save valuable time. The site survey included the design of a technically stable topology using specially selected antennas that will be strategically installed on the cranes and central connection points.

This group's offices in Luxembourg were struggling with roaming and connection issues on their newly acquired Nokia dual mode (GSM/Wi-Fi) telephones. Advanced Networks sent their local engineers onsite to resolve the problems. Backed by the years of experience in the RF field, Advanced Networks was able to resolve the roaming and connection problems by performing a new survey for the client. After extensive evaluation, the customer satisfied its' new problem free solution.

The market leader in the extraction, production and distribution of the main industrial minerals (quartz, cristobalite, nepheline syenite, plastic clay and olivine) with over 245 worldwide productions units uses Advanced Networks' know-how to perform an 802.11n WLAN site survey for their new WLAN investment that will conform the new 802.11n standard.

The global market leader of the international express and logistics industry, with revenue of more than 63 bn euros in 2007, requests Advanced Networks to perform a WLAN site survey in a critical logistic environment near Amsterdam (The Netherlands).

Because of the critical barcode scanner applications and the presence of an international airport, Advanced Networks was requested to performed detailed analysis of the local RF situation. This was a key point to guarantee a stabile roll-out of the WLAN infrastructure.

The Advanced Networks Location Based Site survey standard for AeroScout® laid the ground work for a successful deployment using a Cisco® Unified Wireless Network infrastructure to support AeroScout's Unified Asset Visibility (UAV) solution, including Wi-Fi-based active radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags. The tags are attached to the specialty mattresses, IV pumps and wheelchairs, enabling accurate, real-time visibility and management of those assets. The hospital also uses the wireless network to accurately monitor the temperature inside the hospital's data center.

Like previous success stories with AeroScout® and Cisco®, Advanced Networks was requested once again by all collaborating parties to perform the WLAN Location Based Services (LBS) site survey for this success project. The success begins here.

A Nordic investment bank, founded in 1863, the same year that the Stockholm stock exchange opened its doors, uses Advanced Networks engineers for a VoWLAN site survey in their Stockholm office.

Advanced Networks performed WLAN site surveys for the world leader in grooved and plain-end mechanical pipe joining systems in their local sites in Germany and Sweden. Advanced Networks engineers were used to define the correct site survey procedures for the European and Asian sites.

Because of the communication need by this worldwide advertising group, that has grown to over 14,000 people in nearly 100 countries, a fully reliable Voice over WLAN network is key in success of the WLAN network.

As Advanced Networks developed an innovative VoWLAN site survey technology which ensures high levels of reliability and availability, the group selected Advanced Networks' expertise to cooperate for redundant VoWLAN site surveys in their branches starting in The Netherlands.

After a previous successful troubleshooting intervention at their French site, a worldwide Group specialized in compounding, design and development of plastic window systems for the building industry again requested RF troubleshooting from Advanced Networks at their corporate site in Belgium.

A poor pre-installation WLAN site survey by their previous installer, resulted in poor access point roaming for the WLAN clients. Advanced Networks was also, though advanced spectrum analysis, able to detect severe non-Wi-Fi interference that was negatively impacting the WLAN infrastructure.

Many IT departments try to save money on "finger in the wind" site surveys. But today, WLAN infrastructures play a key role in business success and companies cannot afford to lose time and productivity by choosing this method.

Most WLAN troubleshooting begins and ends with physical layer RF problems. Advanced Networks takes the guess work out of the process by providing factual, complete WLAN site surveys that will provide the information needed to deploy an optimal WLAN infrastructure the first time around.

After successful roll outs in Germany and Hungary based on Advanced Networks site surveys, a provider of engineered electronic components requested Advanced Networks to perform high-end WLAN site surveys for all of their European sites in countries such as Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, etc.. Once again Advanced Networks goes European wide because of client confidence.

After receiving the site survey results for their sites in Germany and Belgium, this healthcare leader agrees to continue its' relationship with Advanced Networks. The driving reason for the decision was due to the clear, straight forward manner that Advanced Networks reported the details of the in depth site surveys as well as the professional conduct of Advanced Network engineers in the most strict, sterile, medical environments.

After successful WLAN installations based on previous detailed Advanced Networks site surveys, a medical technology company, based in the US, that serves healthcare institutions, life science researchers, clinical laboratories, industry and the general public, requested Advanced Networks to perform new site surveys in several extra sites spread throughout Europe.

With this, Advanced Networks proves that our quality site surveys guaranty the straight forward RF information needed for a problem free WLAN roll out that results in immediate return of investment. Working with Advanced Networks equals having Advanced WLAN knowledge for the most critical phase of a WLAN project: the WLAN site survey.

A renovated perfume distributor with about 110 shops spread over Belgium and Luxembourg requested Advanced Networks to provide valuable RF WLAN deployment information by performing an accurate site survey in their central warehouse.

A dynamic hospital in the North of Belgium with a staff of 961 full time and 1520 part time employees hired Advanced Networks to perform a site survey for all 4 of their campuses (about 1094 beds). Because of the critical environment, the goal is to have full coverage for VoWLAN and Location Based Services with a clear RF spectrum analysis to make sure that no electronic devices interfere with the WLAN. The hospital hired Advanced Networks to deliver the their "best in class" site survey that will guaranty perfectly operational WLAN installation.

A pharmaceutical giant employing 100,000 people in hundreds of countries around the world selects Advanced Networks to perform a critical Location Based Service Site Survey.
