ProdataKey releases new WiMAC range testing tool

DRAPER, Utah—ProdataKey (PDK), a provider of cloud-based access control solutions, has announced the release of its newly revamped WiMAC range test tool, designed to make wireless range testing simpler, faster, and more accessible than ever before, according to the company.

WiMAC is ProdataKey's proprietary wireless communication protocol, designed to bring flexibility and efficiency to access control installations. By adding a WiMAC module to any POK Red controller board, installers can enable seamless plug-and-play wireless communication between devices.

Prior to setting up a system with WiMAC wireless communication, POK experts recommend that integrators run a wireless range test to ensure that all devices will be able to communicate effectively. The updated WiMAC range testing tool from ProdataKey, available at wimac-tool.pdk.io, ensures that wireless performance can be confidently validated before permanent installation, helping reduce guesswork and callbacks.

With this update, installers and partners can run range tests directly from any Chromium-based web browser. This allows users to perform tests quickly and conveniently. During the test, users receive live feedback on signal strength as they test equipment in potential installation locations. Results are displayed in an easy-to-understand format, including color indicators that directly reflect signal strength.

As with all updates from ProdataKey, this testing process was designed with the user experience in mind. "All of our projects are driven by the voice of our customers and what POK can do to better support them," said Couper Sorenson, senior product manager at ProdataKey. "Those are the things that really shape our road map."

The new WiMAC range test tool is now available and reflects ProdataKey's ongoing dedication to innovation, simplicity, and customer-driven design. To learn more about PDK's cloud-based access control solutions, visit prodatakey.com.
