Retail Solutions - HMV overhauls wireless LAN with Airmagnet

Music, games and video entertainment retailer HMV Group has contracted wireless specialist Airmagnet to provide wireless LAN (WLAN) diagnostic tools for HMV and Waterstone's stores.

WLAN networks supporting both brands' outlets are due to go live next year.

Airmagnet's equipment will help the retailer iron out any security and performance glitches.

HMV Group systems audit manager Derek Walklate said: 'This piece of equipment provides us with the peace of mind that our WLANs have been installed correctly.'
