Capabilities

Coverage for every challenging environment.

From high-bay warehouses to outdoor yards, we design and deploy wireless infrastructure that delivers reliable connectivity in environments where standard Wi-Fi fails.

High-Bay Warehouse Coverage

Industrial-grade access points designed for warehouses with 8 to 15 metre ceilings and metal racking. Directional antennas and careful AP placement ensure reliable coverage at floor level where your scanners and tablets operate.

High Ceiling CoverageMetal RackingScanner Optimised

Outdoor Access Points

IP67-rated outdoor access points for car parks, loading bays, yard areas, and external walkways. Weatherproof enclosures rated for UK weather. Coverage designed to reach every area where staff and vehicles operate.

Manufacturing Floor Wireless

Wireless solutions for manufacturing environments with heavy machinery, metal structures, and RF interference from industrial equipment. Access points specified and positioned to overcome the specific challenges of your production floor.

Loading Bay and Dock Coverage

Reliable Wi-Fi at loading bays and dock doors for handheld scanners, tablets, and vehicle-mounted terminals. Coverage designed to work with dock doors open and closed, and with large vehicles present.

Seamless Indoor to Outdoor Roaming

Roaming configured so devices move between indoor and outdoor access points without dropping connections. Critical for staff who move between warehouse, yard, and office areas throughout their shift.

Indoor-Outdoor RoamingNo Dropped ConnectionsSeamless Handoff

AGV and Automation Connectivity

Wireless infrastructure designed to support automated guided vehicles, conveyor systems, and industrial IoT devices. Low-latency connectivity and deterministic roaming for automation systems that cannot tolerate connection drops.

How It Works

From site survey to full coverage sign-off.

01

Site Survey and Environment Assessment

We survey your warehouse, yard, or outdoor area with professional RF tools. Ceiling height, racking layout, machinery, and interference sources all captured. The survey drives every design decision.

02

RF Propagation Modelling

RF propagation modelled for your specific environment. Metal racking, concrete floors, and industrial equipment all affect signal behaviour. We model it before specifying a single access point.

03

Hardware Specification

Industrial-grade access points specified for your environment. Indoor APs for warehouse interiors, IP67-rated outdoor APs for external areas. Antenna type and orientation specified to deliver floor-level coverage.

04

Structured Cabling and Power

Cat6 cabling and PoE power installed to each AP location. Cable routes agreed to avoid interference with racking and machinery. External cable management specified for outdoor runs.

05

Installation and Configuration

Access points installed and configured. Roaming parameters set for seamless indoor-outdoor handoff. Scanner and AGV connectivity tested under operational conditions before sign-off.

06

Validation and Documentation

Post-installation RF survey to confirm coverage at floor level across the entire area. Scanner and device testing completed. As-built documentation and ongoing monitoring available.

Real Results

Industrial wireless delivered across the UK.

80,000 sq ft Distribution Centre

A Lancashire logistics company needed reliable Wi-Fi across an 80,000 sq ft warehouse with 12-metre racking for 200 handheld scanners and a new AGV system.

100% floor-level coverage achieved with 18 industrial APs. AGV connectivity confirmed across all routes. Scanner reliability improved from 78% to 99.8% uptime. AGV system deployed on schedule.

Manufacturing Facility with Outdoor Yard

A Birmingham manufacturer needed Wi-Fi across a production floor, two external yards, and a loading bay area for tablets used in their production tracking system.

Indoor and outdoor wireless deployed as a single unified network. Seamless roaming between production floor and yard confirmed. Production tracking system reliability at 99.9% across all areas.

Retail Distribution Park

A UK retailer needed outdoor Wi-Fi across a 5-acre distribution park for vehicle-mounted terminals on forklifts operating between buildings and in the external yard.

Outdoor AP network deployed covering the entire site. Vehicle-mounted terminal connectivity confirmed at all forklift operating locations. Zero connectivity drops during a full operational day test.
