Note: The following Specifications and Recommendations made by Office Practicum are based solely on tested and successful implementations. We do not have any partnerships or current affiliations with these hardware vendors. Please consult with your IT Professional to make sure your devices meet our minimum requirements.

Tip: It is important to have an experienced technician install the proper access points.

In  our experience and as a best practice, once there are more then 5  wireless workstations on an office network, it is strongly advised and  recommend that you look into and invest in a terminal server. A terminal  server is a central server that has OP installed on it, wireless  devices then connect to the terminal server and are able to run OP in a  desktop session that looks and feels like its running on there local  wireless tablet/laptop/iPad. The benefit to having OP running on a  terminal server as opposed to local wireless workstation is decreased  network load, high application performance, better application  stability.

The reason for this recommendation comes from years of  optimizing our application to perform better within a Doctor's office.  Office Practicum has found that most typical wireless access points  start to suffer performance losses whenever the network traffic from 5+  wireless devices running OP locally is introduced onto the network. This  increased networking load compromises performance, stability, and  usability. It is in a practices best interest to plan for and avoid  these issues at all costs. A terminal server will provide a high  performing and more stable operating platform for 5+ wireless devices.  Additionally a terminal server can function as a remote connection  option for an office so that users outside of the office can dial into  OP and utilize OP when they are on the road or at home.
