WiFi Network Installation for Cold Storage Warehouse
Environment:
The main large cold storage warehouse is where sorting and packaging of goods for import/export take place. There are nine separate freeze chambers with various temperatures for different types of products (flowers, vegetables/fruits, meat, etc.).
- Temperature in the main area: 34°F
- Temperature in separate refrigerated areas: 32°F to 0°F
- Ceiling height: 30 feet

Installing WiFi Access Points in Cold Environments
When setting up WiFi access points in cold environments like a cold logistics hub, it’s crucial to consider several factors to ensure reliable and robust network performance.
Temperature:
Operating temperature of Ubiquiti access points: -30 to 60°C (-22 to 140°F)
Humidity:
To protect against moisture, we used sealed weatherproof boxes.

Access Points Placement:
Three U6-LR access points were strategically placed to cover the large open space.
Nine U6-Pro access points, with one placed in each separate chamber to ensure seamless connectivity even in colder environments.
