Build a Wi-Fi 6E Site Survey for an Industrial IoT Deployment
Overview
What this challenge is about.
Receive the warehouse floor plan (CAD + obstruction inventory), the AMR fleet's RF requirements (6 GHz preferred, -67 dBm minimum, <50ms handover), and the existing Wi-Fi 5 site-survey data. Build a predictive model in Ekahau (or open-source alternative like iPerf+Wi-Fi-Analyzer) for 6 GHz channels covering the floor. Plan AP placement, channel assignment (avoid DFS bleed from radar), and roaming thresholds (802.11k/v/r). Validate with a 1-day on-site passive survey in 4 zones, comparing predicted vs. measured RSSI. Deliver the heatmaps, AP placement plan, configuration template, on-site validation report, and a deployment runbook for the field-engineering crew.
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Plan and validate a Wi-Fi 6E AP deployment for 4,000 AMRs in a 28,000 m2 warehouse that meets a <50ms handover bar without dropped robots.
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Apply predictive site-survey methods to a large-area industrial deployment
- Configure 802.11k/v/r roaming to meet a sub-50ms handover SLA
- Validate predictions against on-site measurement honestly
- Document an AP deployment runbook field engineers can execute
