Industrial Wi-Fi 6 deployments fail for predictable reasons: co-channel interference from nearby APs, roaming dead-zones between buildings, and access points rated for office ceilings instead of foundry floors.
Start with a site survey, not a SKU
Map every metal obstruction, dust source and cable run before choosing hardware. Our engineers provide a free heat-map review for projects above 20 access points.
Hardware checklist
- Wide-temperature rating (-40 °C to +70 °C) for rooftop and mast installations
- IP67 enclosures with M12 connectors for washdown areas
- Wi-Fi 6 OFDMA for dense device populations — 4× more concurrent clients per AP
- Dual redundant PoE++ power inputs for zero-downtime maintenance
Roaming and segmentation
Segment OT traffic from IT with VLAN-per-zone designs, and validate 802.11k/v roaming on the plant floor — not in the office. Every TechGear Hub access point ships with a roaming test report on request.
