One does not simply drop in ubiquiti routers and APs for WiFi…
Your 250k number for design and installation seems accurate. This is an appropriate cost for a robust, resilient, enterprise grade WiFi system in a warehouse. 1st, there’s a lot of metal that needs to be accounted for. 2nd, there’s a lot of cardboard that will be in a spot one day and not the next. 3rd, that’s a lot of Cat6a to run and that’s not cheap either material or labor.

3Gbps is a transfer speed with 5G in my area. As in 3 gigabits in a second, or 2.67 seconds to transfer a single gigabyte of data.
In contrast, the location south of my primary is rural and has “5G” but the whole area has a 80% packet loss rate and less than 100kbps speeds on “5G”
I was simply making a point of how some locations need WiFi and some of them are going to be outperformed by a cell tower exponentially.
For support? It’s going to depend. Are you funding an internal IT department or outsourcing it? Is this for one warehouse, region, nation, or global? Given the volumes purchased one can negotiate some serious 4hr SLA discounts with hardware vendors. Putting it in is a different story.
Edit: and I wasn’t saying you were wrong.
got ya. See my edit to my previous post. I misread your first reply!
Anyway, yeah, come on Costco, put in some guest WiFi already!
I didn’t mean to sound condescending, just wanted to clarify 
Ironically, my local costco has an individual pushing people to download the “App” (which is terrible btw), so they should by all means have WiFi. It’s not even that expensive and they can probably sell the data usage patterns to a 3rd party data analysis company for profits too (Verizon and Spectrum do this 
)
yes, totally agree the app is worthless!
