Case Studies
Rail Network Signal Disruption
A major freight railway in Illinois experienced recurring signal drops along a key corridor. WirelessNetTesters provided vehicle-mounted interference hunting tools that helped the operator track down a misconfigured RF repeater installed near the tracks. Once corrected, communication latency dropped by 43%, improving system safety and reliability.
Manufacturing Plant Outages
A California-based electronics manufacturer faced periodic wireless controller failures on its factory floor. Using portable spectrum analyzers with interference hunting capabilities from WirelessNetTesters, the internal IT team discovered overlapping signals from a new HVAC control system. After reassigning channels, production-line downtime decreased significantly.
Urban 5G Rollout Delays
A telecommunications provider in Vancouver encountered unexplained 5G service interruptions in several downtown zones. By deploying interference hunting kits from WirelessNetTesters, technicians traced the issue to a set of unregulated signal boosters used in nearby high-rises. The provider engaged local authorities to resolve the issue, allowing for uninterrupted service expansion.
