Connecting the
Supply Chain.
Ruggedized wireless networks and fiber backbones powering automated sorting, real-time inventory tracking, and warehouse management systems.
Logistics & Warehousing.
Distribution centers and fulfillment hubs demand infrastructure that performs in harsh environments — extreme temperatures, dust, vibration, and 24/7 operations. IpOctet engineers and installs industrial-grade fiber, wireless, and cabling solutions purpose-built for logistics environments across North America.
Challenges in Logistics & Warehousing.
RF Dead Zones
Nearly a quarter of warehouse floor space suffers from RF dead zones caused by metal racking, moving equipment, and poorly planned AP placement — leading to scanner disconnects that halt pick operations and create downstream shipping delays.
Scanner Disconnects
Wireless scanner disconnects cost the average distribution center $180,000 annually in lost labor productivity alone. Each disconnect event forces pickers to re-authenticate, re-scan, and often walk to a coverage area — compounding across thousands of daily picks.
Temperature Extremes
Standard commercial-grade network equipment fails at alarming rates in warehouse environments where temperatures swing from freezing cold storage to 110+ degree mezzanines. Non-ruggedized access points and switches account for 40% of unplanned network outages in logistics facilities.
Bandwidth Saturation
IoT device density in warehouses has grown 340% in five years — from barcode scanners to AMRs, vision systems, and environmental sensors — overwhelming legacy copper backbones that were never designed for this volume of concurrent, low-latency connections.
How We Work.
Assess
Walk-throughs of active DCs documenting dock configurations, rack layouts, and RF interference sources.
Design
Engineered fiber paths and wireless heat maps designed for warehouse-scale coverage with zero dead zones.
Deploy
Phased installation keeping operations running — night shifts, weekend windows, and section-by-section cutover.
Document
Fiber test results (OTDR), wireless validation reports, and as-built rack elevations for every facility.
