I have and do support specialized wireless devices, often times extending beyond the wireless part, all the way to the complete device. Previously I supported medical simulation equipment, currently I support Symbol/Motorola barcode scan guns all the way to the management/inventory/repair of the devices and the configuration of the application we use on them.
Beyond design, I manage our wireless physical installs (and sometimes do them myself). Hope that helps.

I'm thinking along the lines of the following: Wireless network and infrastructure design Security design and IDS configuration and monitoring Escalation support for technical issues New version and feature testing and validation Visual floor plan updates Access point design and placement for new and updated buildings I'm sure this just scratches the surface for some wlan engineers out there, so what other wlan related tasks and responsibilities typically land in your lap?
