Wow I never expected to find such a niche channel. I work for large grocery wholesaler in the USA and design WiFi for these 700,000+ square foot warehouses as well. God bless Ekahau Pro Planner. This is a great video y'all put together. I deal with a lot of foods with high water content and voice selection devices that roam fast on pallet jacks and require constant connectivity. I run so many simulations in Ekahau that its maddening. Keep up the good work. You've earned a subscriber.
"If you have any questions reach out..." I have a question! Can you help me design WiFi for a new warehouse with 10m high and 60 meter long racks? hah It's driving me crazy. Using Ekahau and I cannot find APs that will get me the coverage I'm looking for. This is definitely the most challenging project I've ever worked on as far as WiFi goes. Typically, I've done office buildings and those are easy! What attenuation loss did you use for the warehouse racks attenuation areas? What Signal strength did you design for too? I'm thinking -70 as it will be basic 5Ghz handheld scanners, just like you were using.
Love the video and looks like a mega project. But I have one question... for the forklift trucks in question - is their antenna really at the level of the forks? Eg, variable? If the truck design meant the scanner was on the forks, but the antenna was on the body of the truck then all communications could be at ground level (apart from some hard connections from the scanner on the forks to body of the truck on the ground).
Thanks guys, watching this video confirmed we guessed the correct way to do it for our own warehouse. One question, if you don't mind? If you have a MIMO AP with 4 external Antenna connectors, could you connect multiple directional antennas to cover multiple aisles instead of one AP per aisle. Or if using a MIMO AP could you have mounted the AP in the middle of each aisle with multiple directional antennas pointing away from the antenna? Thereby using 1/2 the number of AP's? Thanks again guys
Thats Great!! which access model you have used in asiles to connect cisco 2513 antenna. I am about to design for similar size warehouse and this video is just amazingggg!!!!
Hey, great Video. Would be great to know how you managed the cabled network. I can see a black rack mouted on the wall at medium height near the truck bays, but how many of those did you mount? Fibre Channel everywhere? what is the speed available to the WiFi terminals? Thanks guys!!!
As a noob, could you explain why you picked cisco stuff over for example arubia or ubiquity? Surely it's massively expensive and aren't their constant licence fees payable?
12:43 But why don't I want to cover with omnidirectional? Maybe this was asked rhetorically given the rack's installed and the height, but what if I'm lower and don't have the racks? I assumed I would want omnidirectional.
I kind of think my question was answered in the bit following, but not quite. Perhaps our main difference is the height of interference, mine is much smaller than yours

One of the best walkthrough by WiFiNinjas. Thank you.. Awesome Content.
As someone who is getting started with Ekahau and tasked with doing a wifi model for a large warehouse, this is fantastic. Thank you.
you guys have awesome presentation and design,,, love to see more videos
Very informative, well done. Thank you.
good video friend
Very good.
Awesome
Fantastic job!
Great video well done.
Thanks!

Hey Scott, the cab of the truck moves up and down - from ground level to 18m high and the driver of the truck has a scanner which scans the pallets.
@@wifininjas8359 Thanks for the info... sounds like the moving cab solves one problem and makes another... top work in the solution!

Nice design, but how did you make coverage in the trailer of the truck if it is a refrigerator and the signal almost does not break through the sides?
All hard wired no mesh?
Did you do any survey and heatmap on a skylift 18m up as well?
As a noob, could you explain why you picked cisco stuff over for example arubia or ubiquity? Surely it's massively expensive and aren't their constant licence fees payable?
What if I used sector antenna for outdoor with 16bi and there are walls tho
Will it work?

can you share what type AP and antenna do you used? thanks
