Field notes
What we learn on site
Code changes, inspection failures, and the parts of a wireless build that only show up once the drawings meet the building. Written by the engineers who were there.
ERCES compliance
The four reasons ERCES inspections fail, and what they have in common
Almost every failed public-safety radio inspection we are called into traces back to a decision made months earlier, long before anyone switched the system on.

Wireless bridging
How to read a link budget before you buy the radios
A point-to-point link either closes or it does not, and the arithmetic that decides which tells you long before any hardware arrives on site.
Enterprise Wi-Fi
Your Wi-Fi problem is probably density, not coverage
Full signal bars and unusable Wi-Fi are not a contradiction. They are the normal symptom of a network designed for a floor plan instead of for the people on it.
Process
What a site survey actually produces, and why it is worth the delay
A survey is not a formality before the real work starts. It is the document every later decision on the project is argued from.
