Design a Wi-Fi 6E Coverage Plan for a Robot Warehouse

The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Design and validate a Wi-Fi 6E access-point deployment for 4,000 autonomous robots in a 28,000-square-meter warehouse that holds signal above minus 67 decibel-milliwatts everywhere and hands robots between access points in under 50 milliseconds.
This is not a design exercise. It is the work a product designer does between a brief and a shipped interface. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates redesign Spotify's homepage and none who have worked under real product constraints.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Translate stated radio requirements (signal floor, handover latency, antenna behavior) into an access-point placement and configuration design
- Model how physical obstructions attenuate the 6 GHz band and reflect that in predicted coverage
- Configure channel, power, and roaming settings that meet a hard handover-latency target while avoiding radar-shared frequencies
- Compare predicted coverage honestly against measured baseline data and explain divergences
- Write deployment documentation precise enough for a separate crew to execute without the designer present

Careers
Career paths this challenge builds toward
Completing this challenge demonstrates skills that transfer directly to these roles:
Wireless Network Engineer
This challenge mirrors the core of the job: turning coverage requirements into an access-point design, defending it with predictive modeling, and validating it on-site. You leave with a portfolio-ready survey-to-deployment artifact that hiring teams recognize.

- site-survey
- rf-planning
Industrial IoT Connectivity Specialist
Designing reliable wireless for a fleet of moving robots is exactly the work of connecting machines on a factory or warehouse floor. The handover-latency focus here translates directly to keeping automated equipment online in production environments.

Network Deployment Consultant
Consultants live or die by documentation a client crew can execute without them. Producing a runbook and configuration template a separate field team builds from is the deliverable that defines the role.
