Does the Wi-Fi reach high racking and large floor areas?
Yes, provided the network is designed from on-site measurements. DataRoad uses directional antennas and access points suited to the height and area, positioned from a coverage survey carried out in the warehouse. The result is usable signal at the top of the racking, at the end of the aisles and in the loading bays.
Do terminals stay connected on the move?
Yes. Roaming is configured so that scanners, handhelds and forklift terminals switch access point without losing the session as they move. It is this tuning, not signal strength, that prevents failed scans and repeated WMS entries halfway through a picking task.
Can the equipment cope with the warehouse environment?
Yes. DataRoad uses access points and antennas built for dust, temperature changes and vibration, from professional brands and with warranty. The choice is made at design stage for each zone: main floor, cold store, loading bay or office.
Will the network support our WMS and ERP?
Yes. The network is sized to run WMS, ERP and picking operations reliably, with VLAN segmentation between terminals, equipment and offices. Central monitoring picks up degradation before it affects operations.
What does it cost and how is it contracted?
The price depends on floor area, height and number of terminals, so it is fixed after the coverage survey. Installation is followed by management under an IT Unlimited contract, from €395/month + VAT on the Essential plan, with an annual contract and no lock-in. The proposal comes with no commitment.
Who maintains the network after installation?
DataRoad, which remains responsible for the installed network under the IT Unlimited contract. We do not carry out one-off jobs or sell standalone equipment: that is how we answer for the warehouse network as a whole, including expansion as the operation grows.
