RTLS Deployment Partner:
the national field arm your platform is missing.
RTLS and RFID vendors' own published estimates put infrastructure installation at up to ~85% of a deployment budget — an industry figure, not ours, and the reason platform rollouts stall at the second site. SRS installs that 85%: readers, anchors, gateways, cabling, and PoE, under your brand, in all 48 contiguous states.
An RTLS deployment partner installs the physical layer a tracking platform runs on — RFID portals, location anchors, gateways, cabling, PoE switching, and the RF surveys that decide placement — so the platform vendor's engineers commission systems instead of pulling cable. SRS Networks does this white-label across all 48 contiguous states, sells no tracking software, and closes out every site with as-builts, test reports, and photos.
SRS Networks is a nationwide IT infrastructure deployment partner headquartered in South San Francisco, California, executing multi-site deployments for platform vendors, integrators, and enterprises across all 48 contiguous states since 1996. Tracking hardware is new; dock doors, warehouse ceilings, and PoE budgets are not — SRS has run this exact field model through 500+ deployments and 5,000+ sites.
What the field arm actually installs
Everything between the ceiling grid and your software — the scope your FSEs are too expensive to spend on ladders.
RFID dock-door portals
Readers, antennas, and portal frames at receiving and shipping doors — with the conduit, PoE, and mounting work that turns a portal kit into a working chokepoint. Portals are PoE devices at dock doors; this is literally our trade.
RTLS anchors and gateways
BLE, UWB, and WiFi-based location anchors mounted at height, on grid, with power delivered — the anchor-density math your platform specifies, executed the same way at site 1 and site 80.
The cable plant underneath
Cat6/Cat6A homeruns, pathway, and fire-stopping for every reader, anchor, and gateway. Every drop terminated, Fluke-tested, and labeled to one scheme across the fleet.
Switching and PoE budget
Closet switching sized for the added PoE load, with port maps documented per site — so commissioning day is configuration, not archaeology.
RF surveys and WiFi coexistence
On-site surveys before hardware ships: existing WiFi, racking, and metal mass change anchor placement. We survey at load, not in an empty building.
Cold and washdown environments
Freezer-rated enclosures, heated housings, and IP66/IP69K-rated hardware where tracking reaches into coolers and washdown zones — the environments that kill standard installs.
The 85% problem every tracking vendor knows
The RTLS industry's own deployment literature concedes that cabling, PoE, and installation can run as high as ~85% of total project budget — which is why so much platform engineering goes into avoiding installation entirely: battery anchors, mesh backhaul, peel-and-stick everything. Those are real advances. They are also a workaround for a missing trade partner, and they run out of runway at dock doors, in freezers, and anywhere a reader needs conduit, power, and a certified drop.
The vendors who win national accounts solve installation instead of avoiding it. A 60-facility rollout needs the same portal built the same way 60 times, by crews that show up insured, with gear that arrives configured. That is a deployment company's product, not a software company's — and building an in-house field organization to deliver it only pays above roughly 50 field employees.
SRS is the third option: a deployment partner that already runs national field infrastructure — white-label, vendor-neutral, and structurally unable to compete with your platform because we sell no software and no monitoring service. The same model already runs deployments for MSPs and national integrators.
How the white-label channel works
One SOW per program. NET 30 terms, 40/30/30 milestone billing on project work orders.
White-label, your brand
Crews present under your program. You own the client relationship and the software margin; we own field execution. SRS sells no tracking software — there is no channel conflict to manage.
Dual-coast pre-staging
Readers and anchors arrive at our West or East Coast staging facility, get configured and labeled, and ship to site with a named recipient. Roughly 1 in 6 direct-to-site shipments fails on first delivery; pre-staging is how a 60-site schedule survives.
W-2 leads, audited bench
In-house W-2 leads run the work, backed by a vetted W-9 subcontractor network — every sub under a 24-month agreement with a 150-mile non-compete and a COI audited before dispatch.
Project Command Center
Every site — scheduled, installed, tested, documented — tracked live. Your team and your client check a dashboard instead of running a status call.
One PM, every state
A single project manager runs the program across all 48 contiguous states. One SOW, one install standard, one closeout format per site.
Tracking infrastructure runs into warehouses more than anywhere else — see how SRS builds the underlying warehouse network infrastructure those systems ride on.
When you don't need a deployment partner
A single-site pilot doesn't justify our coordination model — your own field engineer plus a local low-voltage shop will do it cheaper, and we will tell you so on the first call. The math flips at fleet scale: multi-site coordination overhead is roughly fixed per program, so below about 25 sites it eats the margin, and above 25 sites it is the margin. Run the pilot however you like; bring us the fleet.
