Warehouse Wi-Fi: covering the aisles
Warehouses are among the hardest places to cover. Here’s why Wi-Fi drops and how we fix it.
Why it drops
- Metal racking and inventory that absorb signal
- Access points mounted too high
- Mobile devices (scanners, forklifts) roaming too late
- Interference from industrial equipment
What works
- A survey with racks loaded
- Access points over the aisles, sometimes with directional antennas
- Roaming settings tuned for mobile devices
- Outdoor access points for docks and yards
