Case Studies
Mobile Connectivity Audit for Emergency Services in Austin, Texas (USA)
The City of Austin engaged WirelessNetTesters to assess mobile handoff performance across EMS and police communication channels. Our tools uncovered a high drop-rate zone near downtown bridges. After system optimization and antenna realignment, first responder connectivity reliability improved by 42%.
Transit Wi-Fi Network Testing in Chicago, Illinois (USA)
A public transportation authority implemented roaming and handoff testing to validate onboard Wi-Fi as trains moved through tunnels and open areas. WirelessNetTesters provided drive test solutions and cloud analytics that reduced handoff interruptions by 58%, improving commuter satisfaction.
Telecom Roaming Optimization in British Columbia (Canada)
A regional telecom provider in British Columbia partnered with WirelessNetTesters to optimize cross-border roaming handovers with U.S. networks. Our protocol analyzers revealed signaling mismatches, and guided fixes led to a 33% drop in failed roaming attempts for cross-border customers.
