Industrial Network Services
Infrastructure designed around how your facility operates.
Warehouses and manufacturing facilities can place very different demands on a network than a traditional office. Large open areas, machinery, multiple buildings, loading docks, production equipment and high device counts all need to be considered when designing the infrastructure.
Warehouse & production-floor wireless
Design wireless infrastructure for warehouses, production areas, offices, loading areas and other locations where reliable mobile connectivity is required.
Fiber-optic network backbones
Connect MDFs, IDFs, production areas and separate buildings with high-capacity fiber infrastructure designed for long-distance and high-bandwidth network connectivity.
Fiber Optic Installation & Splicing →MDF, IDF & network rack installation
Build organized network locations for switches, patch panels, fiber termination, UPS equipment and other network infrastructure.
Network Rack & MDF/IDF Installation →Facility & property surveillance
Install camera infrastructure for entrances, production areas, warehouses, loading docks, parking lots, equipment areas and other important locations.
Explore Security Camera Installation →Controlled employee & facility access
Build network and low-voltage infrastructure supporting card readers, key-fob systems, electronic locking hardware and controlled entrances.
Explore Access Control →
Warehouse Wi-Fi
Wireless coverage designed for large industrial spaces.
Warehouse wireless networks may need to support handheld scanners, tablets, laptops, mobile equipment, inventory systems, employee devices and other network-connected technology across large spaces.
Access-point placement, building construction, shelving, equipment and the way inventory is stored can all affect wireless coverage. We can design the wired and wireless infrastructure around the actual facility instead of treating an industrial building like a standard office.
Wireless Infrastructure
Wi-Fi where your operation actually needs it.
- Warehouse Wi-Fi coverage
- Production-floor connectivity
- Access-point cabling
- PoE switching infrastructure
- Office & employee Wi-Fi
- Loading-dock coverage
- Outdoor & yard coverage
Fiber & Network Distribution
Move network capacity throughout large facilities.
Large warehouses and manufacturing plants may require multiple network distribution locations. Fiber can provide high-capacity connectivity between the main network room, IDFs, production areas and other buildings.
Main network distribution
Organize the facility's primary switching, Internet connectivity, patching, fiber termination and network equipment.
Distributed network locations
Place network distribution closer to production areas, warehouse sections and other parts of large facilities where copper cabling distances would otherwise become impractical.
High-capacity network links
Use fiber between MDF and IDF locations to provide scalable, high-bandwidth connectivity across the facility.
Production & Operations
Connectivity for the technology running your operation.
Modern manufacturing and warehouse operations increasingly depend on network-connected equipment. We can provide the Ethernet, fiber, switching and wireless infrastructure needed to connect supported operational systems.
- Production workstations
- Barcode & inventory systems
- Network printers
- Handheld scanners
- Shipping & receiving stations
- Network-connected equipment
- Operations & management systems
Network Infrastructure
Build the network underneath your operational technology.
We focus on providing reliable network transport and low-voltage infrastructure so supported business and operational systems can communicate across the facility.
Security Cameras
Monitor critical areas throughout the property.
Industrial properties often contain valuable equipment, inventory, vehicles and multiple access points. A properly designed camera network can provide visibility across important areas of the facility.
Employee & visitor entrances
Camera coverage for primary entrances, employee doors and other access points.
Shipping & receiving areas
Monitor loading docks, shipping areas, receiving areas and vehicle activity.
Production & warehouse areas
Provide camera coverage for appropriate interior operational areas, inventory locations and facility spaces.
Parking lots & equipment yards
Extend camera infrastructure to exterior areas, parking lots, storage yards and other parts of the property.
Access Control
Control access to important areas of your facility.
Access-control infrastructure can help manage employee, contractor and visitor access to offices, production areas, warehouses, equipment rooms and other controlled locations.
- Card-reader infrastructure
- Key-fob access
- Electronic door hardware integration
- Network connectivity
- Controlled employee entrances
- Restricted-area access
Integrated Infrastructure
Network, cameras and access systems working from the same foundation.
Planning cabling, switching, cameras and access-control infrastructure together can reduce duplicated work and create a cleaner, more serviceable installation.
Multi-Building Facilities
Connect warehouses, offices, shops and production buildings.
Industrial properties frequently contain multiple buildings or separated areas that need to operate on the same network. Depending on distance, property layout and project requirements, we can connect these locations using fiber or appropriate point-to-point wireless infrastructure.
Building-to-building fiber
High-capacity fiber connectivity for permanent links between industrial buildings and network locations.
Explore Fiber Services →Point-to-point connectivity
Use appropriate wireless links where trenching or installing new fiber is impractical.
Remote network cabinets
Build organized distribution points for switches, fiber, PoE devices and other network infrastructure.
New Construction & Expansion
Plan the network before construction is finished.
New manufacturing buildings, warehouse expansions and facility remodels provide an opportunity to install technology infrastructure correctly before ceilings and walls are closed.
- Cat6 & Cat6A cabling
- Fiber backbone planning
- Wi-Fi access-point locations
- Security camera cabling
- Access-control infrastructure
- MDF & IDF locations
- Future conduit & pathways
Plan Ahead
Installing infrastructure during construction is easier than adding it later.
We can coordinate network, fiber, Wi-Fi, cameras, access control and equipment-room infrastructure around the building plans and the technology the facility needs to support.
Existing Facilities
Upgrade an older network without rebuilding everything.
Existing warehouses and manufacturing facilities often accumulate years of cabling, switches and network additions. We can evaluate the existing infrastructure and determine what can remain and what should be upgraded.
Organize existing network infrastructure
Improve patching, labeling, cable management and equipment organization in existing network rooms.
Add network capacity
Add network drops, switches, fiber, access points and distribution locations as the facility grows.
Replace aging infrastructure
Upgrade outdated cabling and network infrastructure where existing systems can no longer meet operational requirements.
