Case Study: Block achieves reliable shopping centre Wi‑Fi and RTLS readiness with Ekahau Pro

Block surveys 2 million-square-foot centers in under 2 days with Ekahau

Block, a provider of enterprise network solutions, faced a challenge for one of its biggest retail clients. The client's shopping centers were experiencing Wi-Fi co-channel interference, which was hampering the shopper experience and preventing the implementation of a planned real-time locating system (RTLS). Block turned to Ekahau to help resolve these issues.

Using the Ekahau Pro and Spectrum Analyzer, Block efficiently conducted comprehensive site surveys of the large shopping centers. Ekahau's tools provided clear, map-based visualizations that allowed Block to quickly identify problematic access points and recommend power adjustments. After implementing changes, a validation survey confirmed significant improvements, which allowed the Wi-Fi-based RTLS to proceed successfully for the client.
