Wireless Site Survey and Certification Services
Wireless Site Survey
Site surveys are the first step in deploying a wireless network and the most important to ensure correct operation. A site survey by Wabtec Global Services is performed by Certified Wireless Network Engineers and involves the following steps:
  • Bandwidth Requirements Analysis
  • Range and Coverage Analysis
  • Spectrum Analysis
  • RF/Wireless Interference Assessment
  • Security Assessment and Analysis
  • Product Selection
  • Network Design
  • Final Report

    Wireless Site Certification
    A wireless Certification ensures that the installation of the wireless equipment was performed per the site survey and includes the following:
  • Verifies Bandwidth Requirements
  • Verifies Range and Coverage
  • Verifies Spectrum Analysis
  • Verifies RF/Wireless Interference
  • Verifies Security Assessment and Analysis
  • Verifies Product Selection
  • Verifies Network Design
  • Prepares Final Certification Report and Warranty

    Wabtec Global Services has performed Wireless Site Survey's and Certifications in the following sectors of the Railroad:
  • Train Yards
  • Repair Track Facilities
  • Shops
  • Hump Yards
  • Fueling Pads
  • Switching Yards
  • Intermodal Yards
  • Intermodal In-Gates & Out Gates
  • Automotive Yards
  • Corporate Campus Buildings
  • On-Board Locomotives

    Wireless Bridging
    Wabtec has surveyed, installed and certified a many typed of wireless bridging applications. A Wireless Bridge enables high-speed long-range outdoor links between buildings and is ideal for installations subject to plenum rating and harsh environments. It is designed to meet the requirements of even the most challenging applications, with features including:

  • High-speed, high-power radios, delivering building-to-building links of up to 25 miles
  • A metal case for durability and plenum rating and an extended operating temperature
         rating for harsh environments
  • Supports both point-to-point and point-to-multipoint configurations

    The high-speed links between the wireless bridges deliver throughput several times faster than T1 lines for a fraction of the cost-eliminating the need for expensive leased lines or difficult-to-install fiber-optic cable. Because bridges have no recurring charges, savings on leased-line services quickly pay for the initial hardware investment. Wireless bridges connect discrete sites into a single LAN, even when they are separated by obstacles that are practically insurmountable for copper and fiber-optic cable.
