We set up and manage routers, switches and Wi-Fi so internet and internal access are reliable in every room and on every site.
A slow or unreliable network affects everyone, all day. We design, install and look after the equipment that connects your business, and we separate systems that should not share a network, which is also a common requirement for payment card compliance.

A network designed, secured and watched from the edge to the desk.
Switching, cabling and Wi-Fi planned for how people actually work.
Firewall, VPN and traffic filtering set up and kept updated.
A second connection keeps you online if the main line fails.
Links and devices monitored, changes written down.
Equipment chosen, configured and maintained for your size of business.
Coverage planned so staff and guests stay connected.
Sensitive systems separated from guest and general traffic, for example for PCI DSS.
Faults spotted early and fixed by a team that knows your setup.
Illustrative example: we scan, flag what is wrong, then fix it.
Devices, Wi-Fi coverage, segmentation and remote access are checked from the edge to the desk.
Anything that is slow, exposed or fragile is flagged, then fixed.
From the first survey to ongoing monitoring, here is what each part of a network service covers.
A network designed around how your office works, with room to grow and no mystery cables.
The edge of your network, set up so staff can work from anywhere and everything else stays out.
Wi-Fi that works in every room, with guests kept apart from your business systems.
If your main line fails, the office stays online. We deal with providers so you do not have to.
Different kinds of traffic kept apart, to reduce risk and support audits.
Your network is watched, documented and reviewed, not left until it breaks.
Planned, labelled and tested cabling to every desk, room and device, so moves and changes stay simple.
High-bandwidth, long-reach connections between floors, buildings and cabinets, tested end to end.
Access points placed from a proper survey, not guesswork, with the cabling to support them.
Messy patching slows networks and causes downtime. We re-patch, label and refresh comms cabinets.
New desks, new rooms, office moves and downsizing handled without disrupting the rest of the network.
The same standard, designs and equipment applied across several sites in a planned programme.
Ageing switches, routers and cabling replaced on a plan, so you spend before things fail, not after.
Cabling and network support for IP CCTV and other connected security equipment.
Secure remote connectivity so your team and our support engineers can reach what they need.
Speed, distance and interference all matter. Copper is the right answer for most desks. Fibre is the right answer between buildings and for backbone links. Older Cat5 and Cat5e cabling often needs replacing to keep up with newer equipment.
Bars are indicative maximum speeds on standard cable types and are drawn on a compressed scale.
Used to plan a new Wi-Fi network, or to test the effect of an upgrade before you buy.
Measures signal strength and spots rogue access points and interference on your existing network.
Tests real performance with many devices connected at once, such as in a busy office or event.
Temporary access points are placed on site to confirm coverage and speed before the final install.
Five steps from first look to ongoing care.
We look at your premises, devices and current setup.
A network designed around how your team works.
Equipment is installed and labelled.
Everything is tested before we hand it over.
Monitoring and ongoing care.
Yes. Our hospitality case study covers a restaurant group with multiple locations.
We can recommend and supply what is right for your setup.
Yes, network segmentation is one of the common fixes we have carried out.
Well designed and maintained cabling often lasts 15 to 20 years. Older Cat5 and Cat5e may need replacing sooner to support newer speeds.
Not for most desks. Fibre makes sense between buildings or floors, for backbone links and where distance or interference is a problem.
Every access point is cabled back to the network. Poor cabling limits Wi-Fi speed however good the access points are.
