Beachfront retail frontage: Active Atlantic Ave sidewalk + glass storefront required curb-to-counter coverage with minimal visual impact.
Backhaul location: ISP handoff/back office sat behind the sales floor; runs had to hug soffits and wrap to the facade without visible cable.
Pathing constraints: Historic stucco/columns allowed few penetrations—used paint-matched, exterior-rated conduit with drip loops and proper bonding/grounding.
RF coexistence (downtown strip): Neighboring cafés/shops saturated 2.4 GHz; design leans on clean 5 GHz with tight channel/power plans to avoid co-channel bleed.
Mounting & sightlines: Signage, windows, and doors limited placement—short mast/bracket with down-tilt keeps signal on the sidewalk without spilling into the roadway.
Indoor layout & materials: Long aisles and dense merchandise caused multipath; indoor AP placement and EIRP tuned for even, aisle-first coverage.
Power & protection: Consolidated PoE with weather-rated enclosures, surge suppression, and stainless hardware for coastal corrosion and storms.
Security in a street environment: Low-height exterior gear hardened with lockable mounts and armored drops.
Delivered end-to-end: Survey, cabling, stealth mounts, turn-up, and testing of indoor + facade nodes—completed with no disruption to store operations.
CASE STUDY
NetEdge replaced overlapping in-store Wi-Fi with a single neutral-host network. Passpoint lets customers and staff auto-join once and stay connected from the Atlantic Ave sidewalk and curbside pickup zone into the showroom, checkout counter, and back office—no captive portals. Outdoor-rated APs on the façade carry signal along the frontage, while compact indoor APs are tuned for clean aisle coverage. POS, cameras, and staff tablets run on segmented networks with QoS, keeping payments fast and operations steady through busy weekend rushes.
Walk in, you’re online. Roam the racks, step outside, come back—still connected. That simple.
