Direct answer

Use fibre as primary where suitable. Consider business 5G or Starlink for rapid deployment, hard-to-serve warehouses or backup internet, then complete a separate Wi-Fi survey.

Warehouse internet and Wi-Fi requirements

  • Metal racks and changing inventory
  • Roaming between access points
  • Outdoor yards and loading doors
  • PoE and UPS runtime
  • Scanner and label-printer dependencies
  • CCTV upload consuming the backup path

Test warehouse coverage before opening

At a fixed urban warehouse, satellite is usually evaluated as a backup or a solution for a hard-to-serve yard—not as proof that internal Wi-Fi is fixed. A clear-sky mounting point and proper business plan remain required.
