That wireless alarm panel I doubted worked fine in a steel building

Had a job at a metal fabrication shop outside Memphis last month. Owner wanted a wireless setup. I laughed and said no way. Talked to another installer who swore by the Honeywell 5800 series. Tested it anyway and it held connection through two machine bays. Still not convinced for heavy steel walls but light gauge worked fine. Anyone else seen wireless hold up in shops?

Honestly I had a similar deal at a welding shop last year. Put in a 2GIG panel and figured it would crap out but it held solid through the whole building, even near the welding booths. Ngl I was shocked it worked.
