What It Is
Wi-Fi and IoT connectivity design covers wireless LAN architecture purpose-built for industrial and warehouse environments — high-bay racking, metal structures, RF-noisy equipment — plus the sensor and device networks (Zigbee, LoRaWAN, private cellular offload) that increasingly run alongside it.
When You Need It
This is the right service when handheld scanners lose connection in specific zones, when new automation or sensor deployments are outpacing your existing wireless LAN, or when you're planning a new facility and want the network designed alongside the racking layout — not bolted on after.
Our Methodology
1. RF survey specific to the environment. High-bay racking, metal shelving, and refrigeration all behave differently than an office floor plan — we survey for the actual conditions.
2. Channel and AP placement design. Sized for device density and mobility patterns, not a generic square-footage rule of thumb.
3. IoT protocol evaluation. Where sensor networks are part of the scope, we evaluate Wi-Fi, LoRaWAN, Zigbee, or cellular offload against your actual use case.
4. Validation at full operating height. Testing happens at the top of the rack, not just at ground level.
Typical Deliverables
- RF survey and heat maps at multiple rack heights
- AP placement and channel plan
- IoT connectivity protocol recommendation
- Post-install validation testing report

Manual re-scans and delayed outbound shipments traced back to a channel plan that was never designed for the rack heights actually in use.
