Logistics and warehousing deployments
RF coverage over racking, scanning uptime and fleet telematics.
What matters when you specify logistics and warehousing projects
Warehouse Wi-Fi is a physics problem before it is a networking one. Racking absorbs and reflects, aisles behave like waveguides, and the coverage plan that worked on an empty floor fails the week stock arrives. The published FUSE deployment in this sector is a 3PL warehouse where scanner reliability across aisles — not headline throughput — was the acceptance criterion.
That pushes the specification towards access-point placement along aisles rather than on a ceiling grid, antenna patterns chosen for the shelving layout, and roaming behaviour tuned so a scanner moving at walking pace does not stall mid-transaction. Underneath it sits PoE switching with enough budget for the full access-point count plus the cameras that follow.
The second published deployment is cold-chain fleet telematics, where the network extends past the building: cellular routers in vehicles, monitoring that has to keep reporting through coverage gaps, and a link back to the systems that hold the temperature record. FUSE supplies both halves of that — the in-building wireless and switching, and the cellular routing and antennas for the fleet.

Frequently asked questions
Why does warehouse Wi-Fi fail once racking is installed?
Stock and steel racking absorb and reflect the signal, so a plan surveyed on an empty floor no longer holds. Access points generally need to be placed along aisles with antenna patterns chosen for the shelving layout.
What is the acceptance test for a scanning network?
Scanner reliability while moving through every aisle at working pace, not peak throughput at a single point.
