Wi-Fi for enterprise and industrial facilities
In the era of production digitalization, stable wireless internet has long become a critical segment of IT infrastructure. Modern automated systems, mobile terminals, industrial sensors, and controllers require a reliable connection for uninterrupted operation.
High-quality Wi-Fi coverage at a production site ensures real-time process control, rapid data exchange between departments, and effective management of mobile employees.
An attempt to create a wireless network in difficult factory conditions without experience in Industrial-class wireless technologies and deep technical knowledge always ends in failure and leads to disruptions in the business process chain.
LWCOM SPECIALIZES IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF WIRELESS NETWORK SOLUTIONS AND HAS SIGNIFICANT EXPERIENCE IN REALIZING PROJECTS FOR VARIOUS PRODUCTION FACILITIES
Wi-Fi Tasks at the Enterprise
In conditions of rapid production digitalization, a wireless network becomes not just an additional convenience, but a key element of the production infrastructure. This is the optimal solution for a production site of any scale.
Support for IoT Devices and Sensors
A wireless network allows for connecting and collecting data from temperature, pressure, vibration sensors, and other parameters in real time
Remote Access to Equipment
The possibility of diagnostics, configuration, and management of machines and mechanisms without direct physical connection
Integration with Automation Systems
Wi-Fi ensures communication between robotic complexes and the central control system
Flexibility of Production Lines
The absence of rigid binding to wires simplifies changes in the configuration of sections and the rapid introduction of new processes.
Predictive Maintenance
Transfer of data from equipment to analytical systems for predicting breakdowns and planning repairs
Automatic Accounting and Control
The use of RFID, scanners, and wireless terminals for accurate accounting of materials and finished products
Features of Organizing a Wireless Network for Production
- Special environmental conditions — requirements for protecting equipment from dust, gases, temperatures, and compliance with cleanroom standards.
- Building Wi-Fi topology – complicated by the presence of metal and capital structures affecting signal propagation and the occurrence of interference.
- Seamless roaming — a mandatory requirement for mobile terminals and moving equipment.
- High fault tolerance – stability of operation is ensured by redundant communication channels and overlapping coverage zones by access points, which makes work processes continuous.
LWCOM SPECIALISTS POSSESS THE NECESSARY EQUIPMENT AND SOFTWARE FOR DESIGNING AND CREATING AN INDUSTRIAL-CLASS NETWORK TAKING INTO ACCOUNT HIGH REQUIREMENTS
Stages of Wi-Fi Deployment at an Enterprise
- Defining client requirements for the Wi-Fi network at the enterprise
- Analysis of the facility's production zones based on floor plans, taking into account area and number of floors
- Assessment of equipment location zones and personnel movement routes with mobile clients
- Creation of a predictive model of the wireless coverage network
- Formation of a preliminary specification for equipment, works, and materials
- Conducting a radio frequency survey of production premises using pre-selected access points and external antennas to verify the predictive network model
- Making adjustments and refinements to the preliminary network design based on real measurements
- Development, documentation, and issuance of technical documentation with a detailed description of access point locations and management controller settings
- Supply of the equipment set to the customer's site
- Installation of the necessary cable infrastructure
- Installation of access points in locations in strict accordance with the project documentation
- Configuration of control equipment and commissioning of the wireless network
- Integration of the new wireless network with the customer's existing systems: access to LAN resources, configuration of corporate authorization and authentication rules
- Conducting a final radio frequency survey to assess the quality of radio coverage, signal speed, and stability in different production zones
- Making changes to the wireless network controller settings if necessary
- Handover of the wireless network into operation to the customer
- Consultations for the customer's IT department employees, as well as accompanying them in terms of interaction with the vendor's technical support

Expert-Level Equipment
For accurate design of wireless networks, our specialists use professional software — Ekahau Site Survey Pro.
This tool allows building detailed predictive Wi-Fi coverage models: visualizing signal levels, calculating its propagation, and determining the required number of access points.
The use of one of the most popular solutions in the field of wireless design guarantees stable and uninterrupted communication even at large or complex layout facilities.
For high-precision and fast measurements, the Ekahau Sidekick spectrum analyzer is used — a device capable of simultaneously monitoring both Wi-Fi bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) in real time.
During the audit, Sidekick records not only signals from Wi-Fi devices but also other sources of radio emission, which helps to form a complete picture of the radio environment at the facility.
For effective and safe measurement in various types of premises, modern technological equipment is used, including pneumatic masts of different heights: from 3–4 meters for office buildings to 9–12 meters — for warehouse, exhibition, logistics, and recreational complexes.
Such structures provide reliable mounting of measuring instruments, accurate positioning of antennas, and lifting of equipment to the required height without stopping current processes and with minimal risk to personnel.
Thanks to the presence in the LWCOM demonstration fund of a wide range of access points and antennas from market leaders (Eltex, Cisco, Ruckus, Huawei, Aruba, Extreme Networks and others), it is possible to test the compliance of selected components and their configuration parameters with specific conditions at the customer's site.
Cost of Organizing a Wi-Fi Network for an Enterprise
The final cost of the service is calculated individually and depends on: the type of facility, its area, and the customer's requirements
