With warehouses it is rarely the vendor that is the issue... rather it is the placement and type of APs you are utilizing.
I'd almost guarantee whatever issues they are facing are because they are using omni-directional APs. Narrow sectors are typically what you want to utilize. When Ruckus was the beam-forming kings back in the 802.11g and 802.11n days they excelled in these deployments... but to my knowledge they don't necessarily have a leg up now over any other enterprise platform. Before ripping and replacing AP's... I'd recommend your friend gets someone in there familiar with warehouse WiFi design. It is a very different animal than designing WiFi for houses, MDUs, and commercial buildings. photograph Daniel White Co-Founder phone: +1 (702) 470-2770 direct:+1 (702) 470-2766 > Chuck McCown via AF <mailto:[email protected]> > January 12, 2021 at 11:05 > I have a friend that manages a 10 acre warehouse.
