Cisco WLAN and Infrastructure for Distribution Center

This London-based retailer is the world's premiere online luxury fashion boutique. When the company needed to establish a distribution center in northern New Jersey, they retained BBH Solutions to implement the technology infrastructure.

Distribution Center The 80,000 square foot distribution center required physical infrastructure and WLAN for operations and real-time inventory control.
