Sten: warehouse Wi-Fi grows from 18 to 24 access points

• Client Sten, headquartered in Barcelona, with a presence in Poland, Andorra and Portugal.
• Location Warehouse in Portugal.
• Phase 1 18 corporate wireless access points.
• Phase 2 6 new panel access points, integrated with the existing ones.
• Scope Business Wi-Fi, optimisation of the topology and of connectivity between areas.

In a warehouse, Wi-Fi is not just for reading email. It carries data to inventory terminals, dispatch stations and management applications that cannot lose their connection in the middle of an operation. High racking, metal and large areas make coverage difficult, and a failure in a critical area delays the entire logistics chain.

A well-executed expansion is not about adding equipment: it is about integrating it into a design that already works, without creating interference or grey zones.

New access points in critical areas

• Coverage Reinforced in the areas of the warehouse where signal demand was highest.
• Density Capacity for more devices connected simultaneously.
• Signal quality Reduced interference and optimised channels.
• Scale Infrastructure ready for large-scale logistics operations.

One network, one management

• Compatibility The new equipment works together with the 18 access points already installed.
• Centralised management A single configuration for the whole wireless network.
• Fine-tuning Performance analysis and optimisation of the existing network.

Network infrastructure adjusted

• Topology Revised to gain performance.
• Connectivity Optimised between storage and operational areas.
• Stability Guaranteed for critical business applications.

The result: logistics, administrative and production processes that are always connected.

Its products are installed in more than 350 million m² of construction, with high durability and strength, and the company maintains a constant focus on technical innovation and international growth.
