RTLS Deployment Partner:
the national field arm your platform is missing.
Turn your approved RTLS design into repeatable field installation: readers, anchors, gateways, mounting, and the power and backhaul specified for each device. SRS coordinates physical deployment under your brand across the 48 contiguous states, Alaska, and Hawaii. Your platform team owns positioning design, calibration, and application acceptance unless separately scoped.
An RTLS deployment partner installs the physical layer a tracking platform runs on — RFID portals, location anchors, gateways, cabling, PoE switching, and site-readiness records for the platform designer — so the platform vendor's engineers commission systems instead of pulling cable. SRS Networks does this white-label across the 48 contiguous states, Alaska, and Hawaii, 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 the 48 contiguous states, Alaska, and Hawaii since 1996. Tracking hardware is new; dock doors, warehouse ceilings, and PoE budgets are not — SRS has run this exact field model through 900+ deployments and 10,000+ 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
Reader, antenna and portal mounting at approved receiving and shipping points. Power, cabling and accessory requirements follow the selected hardware design; not every portal uses the same supply method.
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, pathway, and fire-stopping where the approved device design requires wired connections. Battery-powered mesh anchors need a different scope. Installed drops are tested and labeled to the agreed site standard.
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.
Site observations for the platform designer
Record access, racking, obstructions and existing infrastructure during the agreed site survey. The platform engineer uses those observations to approve the radio layout and any required coexistence work.
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.
Define the installation before pricing the rollout
Installation cost depends on the selected architecture, mounting height, access windows, pathways, power, and acceptance scope. Wired anchors, battery-powered mesh devices, and mixed systems require different field plans. Confirm the model-specific design before assigning cable drops or a deployment budget.
Start with a representative facility. Record device coordinates, mounting orientation, network readiness, labels, and physical acceptance evidence. The platform specialist then verifies positioning behavior with real tags, materials, and operating speeds before the installation standard is repeated at other sites.
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 the 48 contiguous states, Alaska, and Hawaii. 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.
Straight answers for platform vendors
Stop engineering around installation
Send your reference architecture and target site list. We come back with a per-site install model your sales team can quote from — and your brand stays on every truck.
Plan the field work behind asset tracking
For an RTLS project, define the approved layout, mounting access, model-specific infrastructure and commissioning handoff before comparing bids. These resources separate physical field work from platform responsibilities.
