Case Study: Hospira achieves fast, reliable wireless troubleshooting with Fluke Networks AirCheck

Fluke Networks’ AirCheck Keeps Hospira Products and Customers Up and Running

Hospira, a global specialty pharmaceutical and medication delivery company, faced the challenge of ensuring reliable wireless connectivity for its critical medical devices in a diverse range of hospital environments. At its own hostile R&D test facility and at customer sites with complex network configurations, its teams needed a fast, easy-to-use tool to definitively identify connectivity issues. Fluke Networks provided its AirCheck Wi-Fi Tester to meet this need.

The Fluke Networks AirCheck solution dramatically improved troubleshooting efficiency for Hospira. The portable tool allowed both engineers and clinical staff to quickly validate networks, identify problems like locked-up access points and interference sources, and resolve issues in minutes. The results were so positive that Hospira expanded its deployment from three to eight AirCheck units, citing the product's low cost, simplicity, and reliability as key factors in its decision to equip every technical team.
