Networking

Networks that stay out of the way.

When the network is right, nobody thinks about it. We design, install and manage the wired and wireless equipment that connects your people, your sites and the internet.

An internet connection entering a network core and branching to its four parts: firewall, gateway, switches and access points. Firewall Gateway Switches Access points

Equipment

Four parts, working as one network.

Every business network is built from the same four kinds of equipment. We specify, install and configure all of them, so they are set up to work together from the start.

Protect

Firewalls

The firewall sits between your network and the internet and decides what is allowed in and out.

  • FortiGate and WatchGuard Firebox deployments
  • Access rules and network segmentation
  • VPN for remote staff and branch offices
  • Firmware updates and rule reviews

Connect

Gateways

Gateways and routers link your office to the internet and to your other sites, and keep traffic flowing if one link fails.

  • Internet link setup with automatic failover
  • Load balancing across more than one provider
  • Site-to-site connections between offices
  • Routing between staff, guest and device networks

Distribute

Switches

Switches carry traffic between every wired device: computers, printers, phones, cameras and the access points themselves.

  • Managed and PoE switches sized for your floor
  • VLAN design to keep traffic separated
  • Redundant uplinks between racks and floors
  • Tidy patching, labelling and documentation

Reach

Access points

Wireless access points put reliable Wi-Fi where your people actually work, without dead spots or dropped calls.

  • Wi-Fi site survey and coverage planning
  • Ceiling and wall installation with cabling
  • Roaming between access points without dropouts
  • Separate guest Wi-Fi and central management

Brands

Brands we work with.

We choose equipment by fit and budget. A ten-person office and a multi-floor site need different answers, so we work across a range of manufacturers.

Switching, routing, wireless

Cisco

Switches, routers and wireless for demanding networks, including the cloud-managed Meraki range.

Access points, switches, gateways

TP-Link

The Omada business range, with access points, switches and gateways managed from one controller.

Access points, switches, gateways

Reyee

Ruijie's small-business range of cloud-managed access points, switches and gateways.

Wireless, switching

Ruckus

Access points built for busy, high-density spaces, with ICX switches alongside.

Wireless, switching

Aruba

HPE Aruba Networking access points and switches, including the Instant On range for smaller businesses.

And many more

Other brands

Fortinet and WatchGuard for firewalls, plus other manufacturers on request. If you already own equipment, we work with what you have where it makes sense.

How we build it

From floor plan to working network.

  1. 01

    Survey

    We walk the site, check cabling and measure where Wi-Fi coverage is needed.

  2. 02

    Design

    A network diagram and equipment list, with options at different budgets.

  3. 03

    Install

    Equipment is mounted, cabled, configured and tested before staff rely on it.

  4. 04

    Manage

    Monitoring, updates and changes continue once the network is live.
