L’Oréal faced several challenges in optimizing Wi-Fi connectivity across their expansive warehouse. These included the need for a fully future-proofed network to support next-gen AR/VR initiatives, seamless roaming for forklift inventory pickers, RF redundancy in case of access point failures, and excellent Wi-Fi coverage throughout the facility, including stairwells.

L’Oréal used Ekahau for network design, site survey data collection, and validation to transform their existing network and plan a new 6 GHz Wi-Fi network. The team conducted a full passive Wi-Fi site survey using the Ekahau Sidekick 2 to capture existing RF conditions and identify potential limitations for access point mounting.

The upgrade resulted in enhanced connectivity for L’Oréal’s existing network and a seamlessly integrated Wi-Fi 6E network design. This new design not only improved current performance but also provided a blueprint for future deployments across L’Oréal’s global warehouse facilities.
