A Day in the Life
A typical testing day starts with site check-in, safety and access review, equipment setup, and grid planning. From there the technician moves floor by floor, documenting signal levels, coordinating with the local system owner when needed, and keeping notes clean enough to support final reporting. The day usually ends with data review, upload, and a report handoff path that lets owners or integrators act quickly.
