Application Notes - Wi-Fi in Warehouses

Deployment Challenges and Problems

Provide rich coverage for a dynamic environment, as areas that are empty today can be densely packed tomorrow
Seamless roaming across immense areas without the need to deploy dozens of access points and their associated cabling
Intelligent and reliable application support to meet the different needs of a variety of clients, including laptops, scanners, printers, Voice and Wi-Fi enabled material handling devices
Provide high speed wireless backhaul links to devices that extend beyond the length of a wired Ethernet segment
System resiliency and security in a constantly changing environment that is filled with potential security threats

Solution - The Xirrus Wi-Fi Array

Capacity and Coverage - Up to 864 Mbps of bandwidth, 2X the range, 4X the coverage area, and deployed with 75% fewer access points
Application Reliability - Ability to support mission-critical inventory and manufacturing applications in a large dynamic environment
Integrated intelligence - Offers QOS, VLAN, Firewall, DHCP, RADIUS, etc. designed to guarantee a positive user experience no matter the client type
System Resiliency - Automatic coverage adjustments applied when device and/or environment changes are detected: channel settings, cell sizing, load balancing, traffic shaping , interference avoidance, etc.
Integrated Security - Embedded RF security services not only encrypt all traffic at the edge of the network, but also monitors/protects the RF environment from rogues, Ad Hocs, DOS attacks, etc.
Wireless Mesh - Up to 162Mbps of wireless backhaul connecting Arrays together at distances greater than a standard Ethernet segment
