Today's supply chain consists of a diverse set of enterprise workers that range from fork truck operators to warehouse managers, order entry clerks to office executives, and field sales to field service representatives. Wireless networking, combined with critical business applications, provides a platform for enterprise mobility that allows workers to capture, move and manage critical information at the point of activity. Mobile employees must be able to leverage computing power, whether it be ruggedized hand helds or laptop computers, where the work is performed. The ability to collect, process, and validate information instantly, whether connected in real-time or occasionally connected, is a necessity in order for businesses to remain competitive.

Providing mobility to the supply chain presents many challenges that enterprises often overlook. Security solutions that are seamless for mobile laptop users may present unwanted complexity for non-carpeted areas such as warehouse and dock workers. Cumulus has over fifteen years of industry experience helping companies overcome these challenges. Our consultants are experts in providing seamless wirless designs that support all workers utilizing every technology from fork truck terminals to wireless voice over IP telephones.

Enterprise Wireless Site Survey
One of the most important implementation step is the radio frequency site survey. This process ensures that the deployed wireless network will meet or exceed the performance and reliability requirements identified in the design phase.

Infrastructure Configuration and Installation
Proper network device configuration and installation ensures a successful deployment of your wireless network. Cumulus can verify the operational state of your installed wireless network and that the RF propagation pattern of each installed access point conforms with the coverage areas defined during the site survey process.

Wireless Client Device Selection and Integration
Our consultants have extensive experience with client devices ranging from industrial data collection computers through PDA and voice equipment.
