Network Installation

Business network installation and UniFi integration

Gateways, switches, PoE, Wi-Fi and the structured cabling underneath — designed to carry your phones, cameras and door readers on one properly segmented network.

Scope of work

Everything between the wall jack and the internet

This is the foundation for everything else we install. For coverage planning and access points, see business Wi-Fi; for how it all ties together on one platform, see UniFi integration.

  • Ubiquiti UniFi gateways and security gateways
  • Managed PoE switches sized for the whole site
  • UniFi access points and Wi-Fi coverage design
  • VLAN segmentation for voice, cameras, staff and guest
  • Cat5e / Cat6 structured cabling and terminations
  • Wall-mount and floor racks, patch panels, labeling
  • Firewall rules and remote-access setup
  • Quality of service so voice traffic wins
  • Guest Wi-Fi isolated from your business network
  • Remote monitoring and firmware management
  • ISP hand-off and circuit troubleshooting
  • Documentation you keep, not a secret only we hold

Why it matters

One network, four jobs, no fighting over it

Phones, cameras and door access all ride the same wires. Segment them properly and each one stays out of the others' way.

Segmented by design

Cameras on their own VLAN cannot flood the voice network. Guest Wi-Fi cannot see your accounting PC. Door controllers are isolated from everything else.

PoE planned, not guessed

Every phone, camera and reader draws power from the switch. We count the load before we pick the switch, so you are not back in six months buying another one.

Serviceable at 2am

Labelled runs, a documented address plan and remote console access mean most faults are diagnosed before anyone drives out.

Networking FAQ

Common questions

Why UniFi rather than consumer gear?

Consumer routers are built for a household, not for twenty phones, a dozen cameras and a card reader on every door. UniFi gives us VLANs to separate that traffic, PoE budgets we can actually plan against, and a single console we can log into remotely when you call with a problem.

Do you run cable, or just install equipment?

Both. We pull and terminate Cat5e/Cat6 drops, mount and dress the rack, punch down the patch panel and label the runs. A tidy rack is not vanity — it is how a fault gets found in ten minutes instead of two hours.

Can you work with the network we already have?

Often, yes. The site survey tells us what is worth keeping. If your switch has no PoE budget left or your circuit cannot carry the call volume, we will say so up front rather than install on top of it and hope.

Can you manage the network for us after install?

Yes. UniFi is remotely manageable, so most changes — a new VLAN, a Wi-Fi password, a firewall rule, a firmware update — happen without a truck roll.
