About Rise Broadband
Rise Broadband is the nation’s largest fixed wireless internet service provider, delivering high-speed broadband to nearly 200,000 residential, commercial, and enterprise customers across 16 states. Founded in 2005 and headquartered in Englewood, Color ado, the company rebranded from its original regional divisions in 2015 to unify under the Rise Broadband name. Rise Broadband specializes in expanding broadband coverage to previously underserved and unserved ruralandsuburban communities, providing a competitive alternative to traditional cable and satellite providers. Their Lindon, Utah facility at 142 North 1800 West supports regional operations serving customers throughout the Wasatch Front and surrounding communities.
The Situation
As a major internet service provider with operations spanning multiple states, Rise Broadband maintains a large inventory of networking equipment, cable, routers, transceivers, and infrastructure components at their Lindon, Utah facility. The warehouse needed to accommodate two distinct operational requirements: high-density storage for palletized equipment and materials, and restricted-access zones to secure sensitive networking hardware and high-value inventory from unauthorized access.
The existing warehouse space had the vertical clear height to support tall racking but lacked any organized storage infrastructure or security barriers. Rise Broadband needed a solution that would combine efficientpallet rack storage with wire mesh security partitionsto create enclosed, lockable areas within the open warehouse footprint. The layout required careful planning to balance maximum storage density with clear forklift access aisles and properly sized doors for material movement.
The Solution
Material Handling USA designed a comprehensive warehouse storage and security system for Rise Broadband’s Lindon facility. The installation combines selective pallet rack throughout the warehouse with wire mesh security cage partitions creating two distinct secured zones around the racking.
The pallet rack system features twenty-six 20-foot tall by 42-inch deep teardrop-style upright frames with green powder-coat finish, paired with orange step beams at 8-foot and 12-foot lengths. Every beam level includes 42-by-46-inch wire mesh decking for solid pallet support and fire code compliance. Twelve 24-inch column protect or s guard the rack base from forklift impact, and row spacers tie back-to-back rows together for structural stability.
The wire mesh security partitions enclose two separate areas within the warehouse. The primary secure zone features a 10-foot sliding door for forklift access, enclosing a 20-by-50-foot area with pallet rack inside. A second secure zone includes 4-foot sliding doors for personnel access, surrounding multiple rows of racking. Both enclosures use heavy-gauge welded wire mesh panels with steel posts and m or tise locks, creating fully enclosed, lockable storage areas that maintain airflow and visibility throughout the facility.
