A Leading Logistics and Shipping Provider in Dubai
A well-established logistics and shipping service provider, operating multiple warehouses across Dubai, U.A.E., plays a key role in the supply chain for various industries. As the company continues to expand, ensuring reliable and efficient connectivity across its warehouse network has become essential for maintaining operational excellence.
Cost, Coverage and Coordination Challenges
In the towering aisles of this logistics company’s high-density warehouses, where shelves stretched up to 25 meters high, the network team grappled with more than just connectivity—they were battling a maze of logistical challenges, rising costs, and dead zones that disrupted daily operations across multiple sites.
High Renewal Costs
The company faced mounting frustration with its legacy network model, where costly licenses and recurring renewal fees drained resources year after year. This financial burden limited flexibility and hindered efforts to invest in broader digital infrastructure improvements across warehouse operations.
Complex Access Point Deployment
Installing access points in towering 25-meter-high storage aisles proved both logistically complex and financially draining. Specialised manlifts were required, yet coverage remained inconsistent due to poor placement flexibility, leading to frustrating Wi-Fi dead zones in critical operational areas.
Fragmented Multi-Site Management
Managing network infrastructure across multiple warehouse locations lacked cohesion. Each site operated in isolation, forcing the IT team into time-consuming manual coordination and reactive troubleshooting, which reduced overall efficiency and made consistent performance across branches difficult to maintain.
Efficient Wi-Fi Solutions for High-Density Warehouses
Faced with growing connectivity demands, the logistics company turned to a modern wireless approach—strategically combining directional access points and centralised management to simplify operations and strengthen performance across every warehouse.
Optimised AP Placement
By placing directional access points at opposite ends of each aisle, the company achieved full coverage using just two units per aisle. This strategic approach reduced signal overlap, minimised interference, and lowered hardware requirements—enhancing performance while keeping infrastructure lean.
Simplified Installation Process
Access points were mounted at a height of 12.5 meters, allowing technicians to use standard manlifts from outside the aisles. This adjustment eliminated the need for specialised equipment, simplified the deployment process, and significantly reduced installation time and labor costs.
Centralised Management Platform
The introduction of WIS cloud-based management centralized control of the entire network across all warehouse branches. This allowed IT teams to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot systems remotely, greatly improving operational efficiency and ensuring consistent performance across every location.
Seamless Integration
The solution integrated smoothly with the company’s legacy network infrastructure, enabling a fast and disruption-free transition. Its compatibility ensured immediate improvements in Wi-Fi performance while supporting rapid adoption—without the need for extensive retraining or costly system overhauls.
Reliable, Scalable, and Cost-Effective Warehouse Connectivity
The logistics company's new wireless network design delivered clear, measurable improvements—boosting connectivity, reducing costs, and enabling smarter management across all warehouse locations, while laying a strong foundation for scalable, long-term growth in its logistics operations.
Enhanced Network Performance
The focused coverage approach minimised wireless interference and ensured stable, consistent signal strength throughout the warehouse. This improvement boosted overall reliability, reduced connection drops, and provided a smoother experience for both users and devices in daily operations.
Cost Efficiency
By minimising the number of access points needed, simplifying installation, and eliminating expensive renewal fees, the company achieved significant cost savings. These efficiencies allowed the organisation to reallocate resources toward other strategic initiatives without compromising network quality or performance.
Rapid Deployment
A smarter installation strategy using accessible equipment enabled faster rollout across warehouse sites. With reduced setup time and simplified procedures, the company was able to bring new locations online quickly, ensuring consistent connectivity and accelerating operational readiness across the network.
Simplified Management
Centralised network management tools gave IT teams complete visibility and control across all warehouse sites. This simplified configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting, reducing manual workload and allowing staff to shift focus from daily maintenance to higher-value, forward-looking technology initiatives.
