OmniTrans Facilities WiFi Refresh: Reliable Connectivity Indoors and Outdoors

At OmniTrans Facilities, dependable wireless internet and WiFi are essential for both public riders and day-to-day operations. Slice Wireless delivered a comprehensive refresh across four bus stations and depots, plus corporate office areas, designed to improve performance, coverage, and manageability; especially in high-density transit environments.

Wireless Services Provided
To meet OmniTrans’ expanded requirements, Slice Wireless completed:
- Re-cabling indoors and outdoors to restore a stable physical foundation 
- Installation of new Access Points (APs) for enhanced coverage across passenger and operational zones 
- Predictive planning and heat mapping to optimize large area WiFi performance and reduce dead spots 
- Configuration of the management interface, supporting a smooth transition from Cisco to Mist 

Lessons Learned
Three takeaways stood out:
1. Coverage optimization matters: Predictive planning and heat mapping; supported by a wireless site survey and RF site survey are key to reliable WiFi in fast moving, high interference transit areas. 
2. Upgrades improve performance: Modern APs and updated management systems significantly boost reliability and simplify troubleshooting. 
3. Indoor/outdoor coverage is non-negotiable: Consistent connectivity across platforms, yards, and buildings supports both customer experience and critical operations.

Whether you need permanent WiFi for complex facilities, or temporary wireless for events with a secure cost recovery network, Slice Wireless designs and deploys Wi‑Fi that performs where it matters most.
