Field: Empowering Your On-Site Team

The document discusses how iBwave Field software allows field technicians to take over tasks normally performed by RF engineers like collecting site survey information and performing site acceptance tests and troubleshooting. It enables technicians to import floor plans, annotate structural issues and equipment locations, import measurements, and overlay data to identify wireless signal improvement needs. This centralized information can then be used by engineers to design networks using iBwave Design and by technicians to validate site requirements and generate reports. The software also provides an as-built network representation on floor plans for quick troubleshooting.

EMPOWERING
YOUR ON-SITE TEAM

YOUR field technicians are your wireless network eyes and ears, from
pre-installation to commissioning, acceptance and maintenance. iBwave
Field helps you leverage your on-site team by equipping technicians to take
over work normally performed by your RF engineers, leaving engineers
free to devote their time to tasks that require engineering expertise.
