Case Study: Nuclear Power Plant Radiation Monitoring

Nuclear power plant operators are required by law to monitor workers for radiation exposure during maintenance periods, and the only effective means is to outfit the workers with wireless sensors. As power plants are very challenging multipath environments due to the extensive use of thick concrete and rebar, not just any radio will suffice. RFM’s WIT modules, noted for their proprietary FHSS technology and resistance to multipath fading, are the radio of choice in many power plants worldwide.
