With the current discussion on wireless I want to remind everyone that we
can perform on-site wireless surveys. The following link shows the type of
reports we will be able to provide your district.
In order to perform a complete site survey we will need access to all rooms
in your building.
Kathy, I dont mind getting two of
everything. That way Im sure not to miss something. So send Bud my email
address. Thanks.
