Summary: When it comes to challenging environments, warehouse Wi-Fi makes it to the top of the list. Each warehouse is a different environment housing different types of inventory which affect how the RF propagates. François speaks about his experience designing for warehouses.<br> Warehouse Wi-Fi<br> François has done a few warehouse designs and deployments. He is going to share his personal experiences when approaching warehouse Wi-Fi. Below are some of the bullet point topics we talk about. If you have any questions, feedback, or would like to add to the show please leave a comment below.<br> Safety<br> <br> * Always remember that you are working in someone else’s working space (true for any Wi-Fi, especially true for warehouses)<br> * Skyjack use<br> * Prep work about safety:<br> <br> * Ask the customer if any safety training are required<br> * Am I going to need boots, safety glasses, hard hat, safety jacket<br> * If you are going to drive a skyjack, do I need a licence for it? Do I have a licence for it? If yes, I will also need a harness<br> <br> <br> * Once on site:<br> <br> * Always look around<br> * Walk in the walking area whenever you can<br> * Always give a visual to the lift truck drivers<br> * Wear your safety equipment<br> * Coordinate with the supervision to survey busy areas when they are less busy. (Especially the loading stations)<br> * If you are handling your survey equipment for an AP-on-a-stick, be careful with it as well<br> <br> <br> <br> Design<br> <br> * Structure of the building<br> * Ceiling height (Can vary from 1 warehouse to another). This is greatly going to affect your design<br> * What is inside the warehouse? Is is Milk, Wine or is it wood, metal?<br> * How high are the racks? Do I have different type of racks? What are their attenuation? How do you test the attenuation?<br> * How are the employee using the Wi-Fi devices? Let’s talk about how advanced those scanner guns are
