Seamlessly roaming wireless network required

Hi there once again I apologize for my late post due to the fact that I have been sick. During week 5 of the internship I resumed my search for a solution to our connectivity problems on the supermarket floor as I realized that my initial solution could not work due to the amount of Ethernet ports on the RocketM2. Contacting UBIQUITI and 4NetOnline for some assistance in the matter proved to be of no help in getting a straight forward answer however they were resourceful in pointing me in the direction in which I could at least get a better understanding of the UBIQUITI products and what works from what doesn't work based on reports by users within the UBIQUITI community. For this I would like to thank Ms. Cristina (lastname unknown) the UBIQUITI Rep. at 4NetOnline (Computer Network Products) and Mr. Matt Hardy at UBIQUITI support. As we know all solutions start out as hypothetical and cannot be called a solution unless it has been fully tested and works. However I've chosen to implement a whole new approach on obtaining wireless within the warehouse, delivery area and supermarket floor. According to users within the UBIQUITI community this solution allows users to seamlessly roam which is one of the top requirements in the setup of our network. I hope to accomplish this by the implementation of UBIQUITI UniFi products. This entails the setup of small circular wireless APs connected through the use of ethernet and all the APs no matter where they have been stationed can be controlled and configured from one machine through the use of the UBIQUITI UniFi software.
