Network consultancy and design

Corporate office

A network planned on paper before any cable is laid: coverage, capacity, security and growth defined first, so the installed network performs as specified.

Situations We Design For

New office, campus or building

Complete network from cabling routes to Wi-Fi coverage

Slow or unreliable existing network

Root causes, bottlenecks and a corrected design

Expansion to new floors, blocks or branches

Extending the network without disrupting what works

Wi-Fi dead zones or drop-outs

Access point count, placement and channel planning

Adding CCTV, AR/VR labs or IoT devices

Capacity and separation for high-traffic or sensitive devices

Connecting branches or remote staff

WAN links, site-to-site VPN and secure remote access

Tender or project specification

Technical specification and BOQ for procurement

Design Process

How a Network Is Designed

  1. 01

    Requirement study

    Users, devices, applications, locations, internet links and growth plans recorded.

  2. 02

    Site survey

    Building layout, cable routes, rack locations, power and existing equipment inspected.

  3. 03

    Topology design

    Core, distribution and access layers defined, with redundancy where required.

  4. 04

    Logical design

    IP addressing, VLANs and network segmentation for staff, guests, labs, servers and cameras.

  5. 05

    Security design

    Firewall placement, access policies and remote access method defined.

  6. 06

    Equipment specification

    Switches, access points, routers, firewalls and cabling specified, with brand options.

You receive a BOQ and specification: an equipment list with specifications and quantities, ready for quotation or tender.

Design Principles

What Every Design Accounts For

Capacity

Bandwidth sized for current users and projected growth

Coverage

Wi-Fi planned room by room, not by building area alone

Separation

Staff, guests, students, servers and cameras on separate network segments

Redundancy

Backup links and power for critical sites, where the budget allows

Manageability

Central management of switches and access points where available

Growth

Spare ports, rack space and uplink capacity for future expansion

Brands

Brands We Design With

Designs are brand-neutral. Equipment is specified from the major networking brands based on scale, management needs and budget.

Next Step

From Design to Installation

Cabling, racks, switches, Wi-Fi and internet links installed to the approved design, tested point by point and documented as built.
