    Key Takeaways

    • Rollout requires site assessment, network coverage validation, and device provisioning.
    • weavix provides onboarding, training, and managed service activation.
    • No IT buildout, repeaters, or infrastructure installation required.
    • System becomes fully operational once radios are provisioned and network access is enabled.

    Rolling out the Walt Smart Radio System at a single site requires validating the available network environment, provisioning devices, and onboarding the frontline workforce. Because the system operates on LTE, private LTE, and Wi-Fi networks, no repeaters or infrastructure installations are needed. The managed service model ensures that deployment remains simple and scalable for plants, warehouses, construction sites, and logistics hubs.

    Once radios are activated and the site is assessed for coverage, teams can begin communicating immediately with push-to-voice, photo, video, transcription, and translation features. The rollout focuses on workforce adoption rather than technical setup.

    What preparation is needed before activating the system?

    Before activation, the site should undergo a lightweight readiness assessment to confirm coverage conditions and operational needs. This includes verifying LTE or private LTE access, identifying any low-signal areas, and determining device quantities for each department.

    The Walt Smart Radio System by weavix does not require a plant to install new infrastructure, build IT systems, or manage servers.  Walt can join a guest network.  All backend services are hosted and maintained by weavix, reducing deployment friction and allowing organizations to scale immediately.

    Device provisioning occurs before arrival so radios work out of the box upon shipment.

    What does the onboarding process include?

    The onboarding process begins with workforce training, which ensures operators, maintenance teams, and supervisors understand how to use push-to-voice, multimedia tools, alerts, and translation features. Because the system does not require apps or logins, training focuses on practical communication workflows rather than device setup.

    weavix provides on-site or virtual onboarding sessions, covering topics like shift communication, reporting workflows, maintenance coordination, and safety alerts. Supervisors also receive training on the dashboard for reviewing transcripts, monitoring alerts, and managing operational visibility.

    What technical resources are required at the site?

    Technical requirements are minimal. The system only needs standard network access through LTE, private LTE, or existing Wi-Fi capabilities. No cables, antennas, or repeaters are required. IT involvement is limited to allowing radios to operate on approved networks if needed.

    The managed service model ensures weavix handles all updates, monitoring, and device support. This frees plant and facility teams from managing any backend systems or hardware dependencies.

    How quickly can a site become operational?

    Most single sites become operational within hours once devices arrive. Radios come pre-provisioned and ready for immediate use. After a short orientation session, workers can communicate across the entire plant or facility without configuration steps or software installation.

    Because coverage, provisioning, and onboarding are handled in advance, rollout time is significantly shorter than traditional radio systems or communication platforms.
