Network Infrastructure

The network your business runs on, designed before it is built and documented once it is. Labelled, tested and drawn, so the next engineer can read it rather than guess at it.

Network Infrastructure: cabinet, patch panel, cable run
What it covers

Six capabilities, built to be inherited rather than rebuilt.

01

LAN and WAN Design

Address plan, VLAN structure and routing designed on paper before a single cable is pulled. Segmentation that keeps guest, camera, voice and business traffic apart, so a compromised device on one segment cannot reach the accounts server on another.

DeliverableTopology and IP schedule
SegmentationVLAN per traffic class
ReviewedAnnually, or on change
02

Wireless Infrastructure

Surveyed coverage on Ubiquiti and Cambium, with access points placed where the signal is needed rather than where the cable happened to end. Channel planning and roaming configured so a laptop crossing the building does not drop its call.

HardwareUbiquiti, Cambium
SurveyPredictive and on-site
IncludedHeat map, channel plan
03

Switching and Routing

Cisco, MikroTik and HPE Aruba, configured against the documented design rather than against whatever the previous contractor left in place. Configurations backed up off the device, so a failed switch is replaced in an hour instead of rebuilt from memory.

HardwareCisco, MikroTik, HPE Aruba
ConfigsBacked up off device
IncludedPort schedule, labelling
04

Structured Cabling

Certified copper and fibre runs, tested to standard and labelled at both ends. Every port recorded on a schedule that still matches the building in five years, because the labelling was done at installation rather than promised for later.

TestingCertified, results issued
LabellingBoth ends, to schedule
WarrantyOn installation workmanship
05

Network Monitoring and Management

Switches, access points and links watched continuously, with alerting on the failures that matter. Most faults are found and cleared before the first person notices something is slow.

MonitoringContinuous, with alerting
ReportingMonthly utilisation and uptime
ResponseRemote first, on site as needed
06

Smart Office and Building Automation

AV, displays, HVAC controls and building management brought onto the same designed network, with VLAN isolation keeping smart devices well away from business data. Convenience without opening a second front.

IsolationDedicated VLAN
IntegratesAV, HVAC, access, displays
IncludedCommissioning and handover
01

Survey

We walk the building and record what is actually installed, not what the drawings claim.

02

Design

Topology, addressing and cable routes agreed before anything is ordered.

03

Deploy

Installed around your trading hours, tested to standard, labelled as we go.

04

Hold

Monitored, configurations backed up, documentation kept current.

A new fit-out, a site that has grown past its cabling, or a second opinion on an installation somebody else left behind.
