Indoor and Outdoor WiFi for Multiple Sites
Overview of Client
BSW Group, the UK’s largest integrated forestry and sawmilling group, operates nationwide. Due to its ever-growing size and recent company merger, BSW Group required an appropriate and robust WiFi solution to facilitate operations within eight of their sites.
Challenges
The network infrastructure across BSW group’s yards did not provide the necessary wireless coverage to support daily operations efficiently. Seamless connectivity over the yards presented a unique challenge due to the vast outdoor spaces and different site layouts. The company required a scalable and high-performance solution to deliver strong and reliable WiFi connectivity both indoors and outdoors.
Solution
Performance Networks designed and installed a fully customised wireless solution for BSW Group, including:
Comprehensive WiFi Redesign: New wireless architecture, designed mainly to serve the timber yards’ needs to ensure full coverage and best performance.
Deployment of Indoor & Outdoor APs: Installing the Ruckus directional access points to maximise signal strength across large outdoor spaces and internal work areas.
Multi-Site Implementation: Wireless network installation across eight BSW sites with consistency and efficiency.
Results
The newly installed WiFi infrastructure provided:
Improved Wireless Coverage – Strong and consistent indoor and outdoor connectivity, reducing connectivity blackspots.
Operational Efficiency Enhancement – Reliable network performance to support various business functions, from logistics to communications.
Scalable Infrastructure – Set up a network that can expand and adapt to operational growth at BSW.
Conclusion
After installing a new design and full installation of indoor and outdoor Ruckus access points, Performance Networks improved wireless connectivity within several yards for BSW Group. The network is future-proofed to meet operational demands, enabling efficient site operations for BSW.
