Decision 1
Name the warehouse problem first
Document coverage gaps, roaming, device density, interference, latency, security, automation and operational continuity requirements.
Business Briefing • Buyer guide
A requirements-first guide to deciding whether a distribution facility needs a designed onsite private network, ordinary business internet, improved Wi-Fi or a mix.
Decision 1
Document coverage gaps, roaming, device density, interference, latency, security, automation and operational continuity requirements.
Decision 2
Distinguish private 5G, neutral host, public cellular/fixed wireless and Wi-Fi by ownership, users, spectrum and operational role.
Decision 3
Inventory scanners, rugged tablets, cameras, sensors, AGVs, robotics and business applications with throughput and mobility needs.
Decision 4
Pilot one bounded zone or workflow, establish baselines, test handoffs and failure behavior, then decide whether to expand.
Official decision explainer
Ericsson Enterprise Wireless compares private 5G and Wi-Fi across coverage, mobility, latency and total-cost considerations. The useful next step is to map those dimensions to one Atlanta warehouse workflow rather than select a network from the category name alone.
