Structured cabling, WiFi, security cameras, and access control for warehouses, distribution centers, and industrial buildings. We design and install for the realities of warehouse environments — 30-40 foot ceilings, racking that blocks RF, forklift traffic, dock doors, cold storage, and 24/7 operations — with hardened cable, plenum-rated pathways, and outdoor-rated fiber runs where needed. Licensed C-10/C-7 (CSLB #992009), working California-wide for 3PL, e-commerce, cold chain, and manufacturing operators.
A warehouse network isn't an office network scaled up. WiFi has to punch through steel racking loaded with product. Cameras and access readers sit on 30-foot poles or dock doors. Scanners, printers, forklift-mounted terminals, and voice-picking headsets all live on the wireless network. PoE runs to cameras and APs are often 200+ feet. Cable trays have to survive lift-truck impact. We design around all of it — not just pull cable to a desk.
Most warehouses need one MDF at the office and one or more IDFs distributed across the floor to keep horizontal runs under 90 meters. IDFs typically live in mezzanine electrical rooms, above break rooms, or in weatherized NEMA enclosures on structural columns. Single-mode fiber backbone (OS2) between IDFs — usually 12- to 24-strand — with fusion splicing, LC terminations, and OTDR certification. Multi-mode OM4 acceptable for shorter runs but we default to single-mode for future-proofing.
Warehouse WiFi is the number-one thing operators call us to fix. We do a predictive design in Ekahau or UniFi Design Center from your floor plan and racking layout, then verify with a post-install heat map. Typical AP density: one industrial-rated AP per 8,000-15,000 sq ft depending on rack height and product density, mounted at truss height with a downtilt antenna, powered by PoE++ on CAT6A. Ubiquiti UniFi U6/U7 Enterprise, Cisco Meraki MR series, and Aruba are all in our regular deployment mix.
IP cameras on the dock doors, main aisles, receiving/shipping, employee entrances, and yard. LPR cameras at the gate to log every truck plate. All PoE cameras on CAT6A pulled in EMT or cable tray for physical protection, terminated at the closest IDF, recording to a centralized NVR (Milestone, Genetec, or manufacturer VMS). Access control on employee entrances, dock office doors, and secure inventory cages, running on PDK cloud or on-prem controllers depending on your standard.
For freezer and cooler zones we spec cable rated for the temperature range and terminate at heated enclosures. For classified hazardous locations we install to NEC 500-505 with proper seals and rated fittings. Outdoor runs between buildings use gel-filled OSP fiber, aerial or in conduit, with grounding at both ends per NEC 800.100.
Most DCs and 3PLs can't shut down. We work between shifts, on off-peak days, or in coordinated aisle-by-aisle rotations so lift trucks stay productive and pickers stay on task. Any work in active aisles is coordinated with your safety officer with proper barricading, spotters, and PPE.

Vendor-agnostic. We specify best-in-class components for each project — copper, fiber, racks, power, wireless and access control from the industry's leading manufacturers.

For a 100,000 sq ft distribution center: rough planning number is $60,000-$150,000 for backbone fiber, IDFs, distributed WiFi covering the full floor, and 30-50 IP cameras. Cost varies with rack density (denser racking = more APs), ceiling height, and whether the network is greenfield or a rip-and-replace. We quote fixed after a site walk.
Roughly one industrial AP per 8,000-15,000 sq ft depending on rack height and product density. A 100,000 sq ft warehouse typically lands at 8-15 APs. Metal racking loaded with product attenuates 2.4 and 5 GHz signal aggressively, so we design based on a predictive heat map, not a square-footage rule of thumb, and verify with a post-install site survey.
Yes — one of our most common warehouse jobs. We start with an active site survey to map actual coverage and interference, identify where APs are undersized, wrong-mounted, or missing, and quote either a targeted fix (add APs, re-mount, upgrade to higher-power hardware) or a full re-design. See our wireless site survey service.
Yes. Interior camera runs use CAT6A in EMT or cable tray for physical protection. Exterior runs go in weather-rated conduit or use outdoor-rated fiber for long distances. Yard and gate cameras (including LPR at the truck gate) are a routine part of our warehouse scope.
Cable rated for the temperature range (typically -40°F rated jacket), terminated at heated enclosures outside the cold zone where possible. For freezer racking we typically fiber-only or run limited copper for essential cameras and APs.
Aisle-by-aisle work coordinated with your safety officer, with barricades, spotters, and PPE. Terminations and cutovers scheduled between shifts or during light-volume days. Most 100k+ sq ft installs are done without a single shift shutdown.
Yes — we join the GC's schedule at slab or steel-erection stage, install cable tray with the electrical trade, pull backbone as the roof goes on, and cut over as tenant fit-out completes. Standard practice for our large e-commerce and 3PL clients.
Yes. Voice-picking headsets (Honeywell Vocollect, Zebra) and RF scanners all depend on properly-designed 5 GHz WiFi. We coordinate AP channel plans and roaming settings so pickers don't drop calls or scan connections mid-aisle.
Yes. We do national multi-site rollouts of identical warehouse network designs — standardized IDF builds, WAP layouts, camera counts, and cutsheets — deployed on a rolling schedule across California and nationwide. See our nationwide rollouts service.
Standard scope: card readers or mobile credentials (PDK, Genetec, Brivo) at all employee doors, dock offices, and secure cages, integrated with your camera VMS for badge-linked video events.
