Windy City Wire Partners with iBwave to Simplify Public Safety Grid Testing for Contractors Nationwide
Windy City Wire, a leading U.S. manufacturer of low-voltage wire and cable solutions, has announced a new educational webinar in partnership with iBwave Solutions Inc. aimed at helping contractors, integrators, and low-voltage professionals streamline public safety surveys and grid testing across multiple wireless networks. Scheduled for November 19 at 11:00 AM CST, this live session will provide attendees with practical guidance on optimizing signal validation across P25, UHF/VHF, LTE, and emerging 5G networks using iBwave Mobile Survey software in combination with the Epiq PRiSM Scanner.
The collaboration represents a strategic effort by Windy City Wire to support professionals in the low-voltage industry by delivering innovative, accessible tools that simplify complex tasks while enhancing both efficiency and profitability. By integrating mobile-based survey solutions into everyday workflows, contractors can perform public safety testing with fewer resources, less training, and reduced reliance on expensive, complex RF equipment.
Transforming Public Safety Grid Testing
Grid testing for public safety networks has historically been a resource-intensive and technically challenging process. Contractors and system integrators often rely on high-cost RF test sets and specialized training to ensure compliance and reliability for first responder communications. The new webinar addresses these challenges by demonstrating how iBwave Mobile Survey and the Epiq PRiSM Scanner enable a lightweight, cost-effective, and repeatable approach to surveying and validating wireless communications.
Attendees will learn how to transform grid testing into a scalable service offering, allowing contractors to:
- Reduce the time and complexity of site surveys.
- Ensure higher accuracy in signal measurement and validation.
- Generate professional, compliance-ready reports that support faster project approvals.
By integrating mobile survey solutions into field operations, contractors can deliver consistent results across multiple job sites, improving client satisfaction while expanding revenue opportunities in public safety and enterprise wireless projects.
Practical, Contractor-Friendly Tools
The webinar will focus on practical applications of iBwave Mobile Survey and Epiq PRiSM Scanner in real-world environments. These tools are designed to integrate seamlessly into field workflows, offering features such as:
- Rapid signal capture across P25, UHF/VHF, LTE, and 5G networks.
- Automated validation and reporting, reducing the need for manual calculations or post-processing.
- Portability and ease of use, enabling field technicians to survey and document networks without bulky or specialized RF test sets.
Windy City Wire emphasizes that these solutions are particularly suitable for distributed antenna system (DAS) deployments, indoor wireless networks, and other environments where accurate coverage testing is critical. By removing barriers to effective signal measurement, the tools allow professionals to focus on delivering high-quality service while minimizing operational costs.
