About Ryder
Ryder System, Inc. is an American transportation and logistics company providing truck rental and leasing, fleet management, supply chain and transportation management services. Ryder operates about 4,500 locations across North America.
Project Overview
Twenty-nine office and warehouse locations across North America required cabling upgrades and access point replacements, as the existing Aerohive access points had reached end of life. Each facility required a minimum of 12 access points and a maximum of 54, with post-installation site survey testing and reporting.
Challenges
- Aerohive access points at end of life
- 29 office and warehouse locations across North America
- Between 12 and 54 access points per facility
- Post-install site survey testing and reporting required
Solution
GT Global Services completed switch replacements, replaced the legacy Aerohive access points with Mist Access Points, and replaced Cat5 cabling with Cat6 — patching, terminating and testing throughout. A final site survey and report was delivered for each location.
Benefits / At a Glance
- Better overall coverage
- Upgrade to Cat6
- Fewer stoppages for robotics
- Decreased maintenance and access point troubleshooting
“For over 15 years GT Global Services have been our go to installation partner. Their experienced technicians are excellent in what they do. We have found them to be both efficient and affordable.”
— Eric Boudreaux, Ryder Logistics
Conclusion
Standardized Cat6 structured cabling and Mist access points across 29 sites give Ryder consistent wireless coverage in its offices and warehouses, supporting robotics and daily logistics operations with less maintenance and troubleshooting.
