…average warehouse in the US (16,400 square feet, per government data), and it can easily be many hundred access points for larger warehouse operations. IT has decades of experience in setting up even very large wireless systems in office buildings or on shop floors, but warehouses are different in several critical ways. Steady, reliable coverage depends on signal strength and the elimination of weak and dead spots. That’s fairly easy to handle in static settings where things don’t move around. But in warehouses they do. The variety and volume of goods, ever shifting storage locations, and different packing materials that…
