DeWalt begins job-site connectivity project

In the coming months, DeWalt will launch a Wi-Fi mesh network and, later, an Internet of Things platform, to enhance productivity, profitability and safety on the job site.

“After extensive research, DeWalt identified that, due to the increase in digital dependency in the construction field, there is an unmet need for reliable connectivity and asset management across the jobsite. Sharing data has become more necessary for contractors, yet limited connectivity options exist,” the company said in a statement.

“DeWalt Wi-Fi enables general and trade contractors to collaborate in real-time across large-scale job sites and to easily access critical site information such as prints, schedules, budgets and RFIs.”
