Case Studies

Case Study 1: U.S. – Fortune 500 Campus Upgrade in New Jersey

A national enterprise client needed to certify 12,000 copper links across four buildings in under three weeks. Our Cable Certifier cut test time per link in half, while producing standard-compliant reports that were directly uploaded to the client’s documentation portal, enabling on-time project completion.

Case Study 2: U.S. – Government Facility Retrofit in California

During a secured network retrofit for a federal agency, contractors relied on our Cable Certifier to validate shielded Cat6A connections. With clear fail-point analysis and real-time cloud syncing, the team reduced troubleshooting time by over 60% while maintaining federal compliance standards.

Case Study 3: Canada – Multi-Site Retail Chain Deployment

A national retail chain in Canada undertook a 78-store IT infrastructure refresh. Using our cloud-enabled certifiers, contractors in different provinces collaborated via centralized dashboards to certify over 9,000 drops, improving QA consistency across locations and drastically cutting logistics costs.
