Range extension and wireless coordination for facility-wide sensor coverage

The Verkada wireless repeaters and hubs family delivers the RF infrastructure required to deploy wireless intrusion detection across complex facilities. When installing wireless door sensors, motion detectors, glass-break sensors, and water leak detectors in large warehouses, multi-level educational buildings, or historic facilities with heavy masonry walls, radio frequency attenuation can prevent edge sensors from reaching a central panel directly. The hardware in this family establishes a dependable, supervised wireless fabric that relays sensor telemetry directly to Verkada Command.

The catalog includes two specialized units designed specifically for the United States New Alarms architecture. The WH52 Wireless Hub functions as the primary RF coordinator for wireless intrusion sensors. It connects directly to the local area network over standard Ethernet, negotiates encrypted sensor traffic across a proprietary sub-GHz frequency band, and reports real-time sensor states to the BP52 alarm panel and Command cloud. The WH32 Wireless Repeater functions as an RF range extender, expanding signal propagation into detached wings, exterior outbuildings, and RF-shielded utility corridors without requiring structured data drops at every sensor perimeter.

Both the WH52 and WH32 incorporate continuous device supervision, automatically alerting administrators if a device loses power, experiences wireless interference, or is tampered with physically. The units support flexible power options, including Power over Ethernet (PoE 802.3af) for clean ceiling grid placement or standard low-voltage DC with onboard rechargeable battery backup to maintain protection during power outages. HTS evaluates facility blueprints, wall construction materials, and sensor placement to design an RF coverage plan with appropriate repeater density before quoting.
