CASE STUDY

Wi-Fi Network Upgrades and Optimization Facilitate Package Processing

For shippers, Wi-Fi networks are key pathways through which crucial processing and delivery information flows. When those networks are running over outdated equipment, the pathways become congested, negatively impacting operating efficiency. When one international logistics and shipping firm decided it was time to upgrade its outdated Wi-Fi network infrastructure, it turned to LMI.

For the project, LMI experts would not only replace old network equipment; they would also make recommendations to improve system design, adding or eliminating routers and access points to accurately reflect the operating realities of each location. With thousands of locations-and an aggressive upgrade of 20% of locations per year, the LMI team had no time to waste.

For each engagement, the technical team performs a site survey to map the current equipment and determine whether it is still relevant and useful or should be replaced. From that point, the team plans the network installation and configuration. Because the shipper operates 24 hours a day, the LMI team must work around package sorting operations causing as little disruption as possible. Additionally, because the company has airport-based facilities, the LMI team and its equipment and tools must pass TSA scrutiny.

Despite these challenges, LMI has been meeting or exceeding its customer’s goals since the inception of the project. With the promise of more work to come, each year, based upon LMI teams achieving their customary excellence, the team is proud to continue operating at peak performance.
