Peace of Mind with Safety-Certified Public Access Points
The Challenge
With safety in mind, regulatory bodies worldwide have developed standards
to prevent accidental injuries caused by electronic equipment. One such
standard, the plenum rating, ensures that equipment placed in indoor air
space in public places will not cause excessive smoke in the event of
a fire. A Wi-Fi access point with the plenum rating is particularly important
in public hot spots, because site owners want to hide network equipment
from public view. The airspace above the ceiling provides a convenient
choice. Thus, equipment without the proper ratings could pose a threat
to employees and guests in the event of a fire, and also negate benefits
from insurance coverage.
The Solution
Proxim hot spot access points are designed and manufactured for safe
and effective public access use – an important distinction from
off-the-shelf access points that consumers install at home. Proxim access
points meet not only plenum ratings, but also other important safety
standards from worldwide regulatory agencies such as UL and CE. Wireless
service providers who are planning or are in the process of implementing
a public access hot spot can assist their customers in meeting safety
codes and insurance requirements by using Proxim hardware.
