Creating the right network infrastructure is vital to the success of all your systems. The investment in your network infrastructure is an important decision, and it's not done very often - so it's important to get it right.

We design and implement networks on a variety of scales, from small 5-user networks, to 500+ user networks with multiple site spread all over the world. The most important thing we do is to match your network design to your business requirements - both now and in the future. When it comes to installation, we have highly qualified technicians, who are experienced at getting it right.

Structured Cabling > Through our partnerships, we are able to design and install structured cabling of the highest standards. Our structured cabling solutions come with full guarantees and we can offer competitive rates for both CAT5 and CAT6 standards.

Switches and Routers > Even the smallest of networks require at least one network switch. It's the bit that connects everything together! If your network is very simple this can be a cheap unmanaged switch, which does nothing more than physical connectivity. If you have more complex requirements, perhaps with multiple sites, we can install managed switches and routers to control the flow of network traffic, and add layers of security.

Fibre-optic cabling > If you need structured cabling for distances greater than 100 meters, you'll probably need to consider fibre-optic cabling instead. It's a specialised discipline, which requires a high degree of skill and sensitive equipment. Through our partnerships we are able to offer the highest standards of work at cost effective prices.

Wireless Networking > Wireless networks can be great. It looks good to your customers, and it opens up your methods of working. Depending on the size of your company, wireless networks can also relatively inexpensive. The cost can sometimes be offset against the cost of structured cabling, but for most companies, a mix of the two is best.

It's important to make sure that your wireless network is properly configured. Above all, it needs to be secured. It's amazing how many unsecured wireless networks there are around. By default, data transmitted over a wireless network is not encrypted. It's also transmitted up to a distance of 50 meters or more. This means that a hacker could gain access to your company data, use your bandwidth to surf the Internet, and launch attacks against other networks.

Vulnerabilities in wireless networking security have been well documented in the IT press in recent years, but there are plenty of ways to stay ahead, and remain secure. We'll specify the right solution for your business needs and budget.
