The company adds it will build on its experience in logistics, manufacturing and retail companies following the acquisition and campaign launch.

Yorkshire law firm Lupton Fawcett provided legal advice to the company with a team led by corporate partner Giles Clegg.

Renovotec managing director, Richard Gilliard, said: “We will be leading the next Wi-Fi wave to deliver competitive advantage for supply chain users, from Wi-Fi 6*-driven performance that delivers open-ended IoT device support, to advanced network monitoring underpinned by best-in-class wireless analytics.

“The next generation of warehouse systems will be Wi-Fi centred and its users Wi-Fi empowered. Renovotec will set the standard for both.”

Clegg said: “It was a pleasure to work with Renovotec and to see further expansion for the successful technology-based business.”

Renovotec’s wireless technology options now include products from Extreme Networks, Ruckus, Hewlett Packard Enterprise company Aruba and Cisco Meraki, among others.

The business offers wireless rental as well as purchase.
