Case Study: Cerner reduces wireless troubleshooting time and travel costs with Fluke Networks AirCheck

Cerner discovers a healthier way to troubleshoot wireless networks with AirCheck

Cerner Corporation, a leading healthcare information technology provider, faced the challenge of designing and troubleshooting complex wireless patient care networks for its global clients. This process was time-consuming and expensive, often requiring highly-trained engineers to travel to hospital sites to diagnose issues. Fluke Networks provided its AirCheck Wi-Fi Tester to address this problem.

By implementing Fluke Networks' solution, Cerner equipped its on-site technicians with the simple, portable AirCheck units. This allowed them to capture wireless data and email reports to engineers for remote analysis, eliminating many costly site visits. The results were significant savings of at least $1,500 per avoided trip and a nearly 50% reduction in the required deployment team size, greatly increasing operational efficiency.
