WiFi & Networking Solutions for Manufacturing and Retail Warehouse Environments
How much money and productivity is being lost every day, month or year from poor connectivity? Professionally designed and installed warehouse WiFi gives your team secure access to the tools they need to work effectively.
How We’ve Helped Warehouse Environments Improve Connectivity
“Redway Networks excelled in navigating our complex project and the service was excellent from start to finish. The technical ability of its team to design our WiFi just from simulated data and then for it to be spot on was impressive. Our warehouse is running super efficiently and we’ve enhanced the speed at which products are picked and dispatched to our customers.”
Adam Miller, Group IT Manager GS Yuasa Battery Sales UK
“I was really impressed with the quality of design and Redway’s engineer filled me with confidence by demonstrating evidence in Ekahau that his network design, based on Cisco Meraki products would deliver full WiFi coverage as we couldn’t afford any downturn to the business. To guarantee 100% coverage, he had almost ‘over engineered’ the project and I was very impressed”.
Alex Surtees is the Operations Manager at Hazel 4D
"Our existing warehouse WiFi had done its job, but we were starting to experience slow network speeds and dropouts which identified the need for a more robust solution. I was recommended to Redway Networks who conducted a WiFi survey and recommended a Cambium solution which Redway’s engineers installed seamlessly with no impact to our business.”

“Once we identified our requirements, I spent a couple of days looking at wireless vendors and Redway Networks really stood out as the company to use as I was impressed with its warehouse WiFi knowledge and customer testimonials. We needed bullet proof WiFi and as an independent vendor, I knew Redway Networks had the wireless experience to recommend the best-fit solution.”
Toby Turner, Group IT Director at Anord Mardix
“Our wireless network is the foundation for all operations. From stock into the warehouse to delivery out to Pets Corner stores. Having a robust, secure WiFi system that never loses signal has improved our supply chain. The service we received from Redway Networks was outstanding and I look forward to working with them on future projects”
Richard Smith, IT Infrastructure Project Manager, YourDMS for Pets Corner

Protecting Productivity in Busy Warehouse Environments
Have you ever thought about how much money you’re losing per week in lost output? What impact could a 15%, 10% or even 5% loss of output mean for profitability in the long run?
With teams struggling to maintain high pick rates as they battle for a connection with handheld scanners. Weak signals dropping out or disappearing altogether. Outdated designs unable to handle your warehouse expansion and the introduction of new rack layouts.
Or even signal interference from nearby commercial buildings and homes causing disruption to your wireless signal.
These are all common problems with warehouse WiFi, and they’re all problems our technology and expert know-how can help you solve.
Our network experts are on hand to help you overcome the challenges of outdated WiFi networks so you can make the right choice and commit the right investment to implement a reliable and robust network that works.
Reliable, Robust Warehouse WiFi
Building a warehouse’ WiFi requires a specific approach. Omnidirectional AP signals often struggle to penetrate racks with high levels of stock or large environments, leading to drops in performance. Harsh environments can result in slow speeds.
And poor design can lead to areas in the warehouse where employees are unable to work because of signal drop offs.
By understanding how your warehouse operates, the existing infrastructure and the thought process behind the original design, we’ll help you build a more robust, reliable and joined up warehouse WiFi network that can withstand dense usage and make management easier for your IT team.
Warehouse WiFi that’s built to scale
Warehouses are fast paced environments and even the slightest changes can cause a reduction in performance.
By partnering with leading providers we’re able to build your warehouse WiFi so it can easily adapt and scale as you grow.
Whether it’s adding or configuring access points or updating equipment, you’ll never need to worry about the long-term performance of your network because we’re right beside you to ensure it continues to perform for as long as you need it.
