GT Global Services upgraded the wireless network and structured cabling at Ryder office and warehouse locations across North America. We replaced end-of-life Aerohive access points with Mist access points, replaced Cat5 cabling with Cat6, swapped out network switches, and delivered a post-install site survey and report for every location.
About Ryder
Ryder is a North American transportation and logistics company providing truck rental and leasing, fleet management, and supply chain and transportation management services. Ryder operates about 1,300 locations across North America.
The challenge
Ryder’s Aerohive access points had reached end of life, and its office and warehouse locations needed new access points and upgraded cabling. Each facility needed between 12 and 54 access points, and every location required site survey testing and a written report after installation.
