Network infrastructure built for logistics and supply chain operations.
Warehouses, depots, and distribution centres running on reliable, application-aware connectivity — provisioned quickly and managed centrally.
Networking challenges specific to logistics operations.
Warehouse connectivity
Warehouses require reliable wireless coverage for handheld scanners, automated picking systems, and WMS terminals. Coverage gaps and wireless degradation halt operations and create inventory discrepancies.
Hub-and-spoke network complexity
Large logistics networks span regional distribution centres, urban fulfilment hubs, and local depots in a hub-and-spoke topology. Each location type has different connectivity requirements and technical constraints.
Last-mile reliability
Depot locations are often in industrial zones or rural areas where primary broadband quality is variable. Link failures during peak periods — pre-holiday, sale events — have direct operational and financial consequences.
Fleet tracking system connectivity
Fleet management and real-time tracking systems require continuous connectivity back to central platforms. Latency and packet loss degrade GPS update frequency and tracking accuracy.
Peak demand resilience
Logistics networks experience sharp demand peaks — seasonal shipping periods, promotional events. Network capacity that is adequate for average demand may be insufficient during peaks, and failures at peak moments have outsized consequences.
New depot openings
Rapid expansion requires the ability to connect new depot locations quickly and without specialist on-site networking expertise. Traditional WAN provisioning timelines — weeks or months — constrain growth velocity.
Purpose-built responses to logistics network requirements.
Hybrid WAN for distribution centres and warehouses
ScaleAOn combines MPLS, broadband, and 4G/LTE transports at each warehouse location. Application-aware routing ensures WMS, ERP, and tracking systems always route over the best available transport. Link quality is measured continuously — not assumed.
Zero-touch provisioning for new depot openings
CloudPort Edge devices ship pre-configured with site identity. On first power-on at a new depot, the device contacts CloudStation Controller, authenticates, and receives its complete configuration automatically. No networking specialist required on-site.
Application prioritisation for WMS and ERP
Warehouse management systems and ERP applications are defined as priority application classes in CloudStation Controller. Policy ensures these applications always receive bandwidth priority over lower-priority traffic — even during peak usage periods.
4G/LTE failover for remote and industrial locations
Depot locations in industrial zones or areas with variable broadband quality are equipped with 4G/LTE as a standby transport. When the primary link degrades below SLA thresholds, ScaleAOn automatically fails over — maintaining operational continuity without manual intervention.
