Most small business networks evolve piece by piece, a router here, an access point there, a switch added when someone needed another port. The result is a patchwork of consumer-grade hardware with no security segmentation, unpredictable coverage, and no redundancy when something fails.
A properly designed network changes everything. Reliable WiFi in every corner of your building. Devices separated so that a compromised laptop can't infect your server. A documented, supported infrastructure you can grow without tearing out and replacing.
Performance by design: the right access points in the right positions, with the right channels, so every device gets a fast, stable connection
Security through segmentation: VLANs keep your staff, guests, CCTV, and IoT devices isolated so threats can't move laterally
Built to scale: a properly designed network adds new users, devices, and sites without starting over
Dead zones, dropped calls, and staff working around a bad connection all day
No VLANs, no segmentation, consumer hardware: a flat network is a hacker's playground
No failover, no monitoring, no warning. Just a phone call saying the internet is down
Adding a new office or 10 new staff triggers expensive ad-hoc fixes rather than simple expansion
Ubiquiti® UniFi
Ubiquiti® UniFi is the platform of choice for businesses that want enterprise-class performance and security without enterprise-class price tags or complexity. A single cloud-managed controller gives you complete visibility and control of your entire network, from switches and access points to firewalls and VPN gateways.
UniFi scales from a single office to dozens of sites without changing platform. That means the network we install today grows with your business, adding sites, users, and services without costly infrastructure replacements or steep learning curves for your team.
As certified UniFi partners, we design systems that take full advantage of the platform, proper VLAN architecture, optimal access point placement, WAN failover, traffic shaping, and IDS/IPS, so you get a network that performs and protects from day one.
Seamless roaming WiFi
Devices hand off between access points without dropping, perfect for VoIP calls and video conferencing on the move
Built-in threat detection
UniFi gateways include IDS/IPS, DNS filtering, and deep packet inspection to block threats at the network edge
Automatic WAN failover
UniFi detects an internet outage and switches to a backup connection in seconds, keeping your team online
Single-pane management
Every device, site, and user visible in one dashboard, we monitor it remotely so you don't have to
Multi-site ready
Manage all your locations from one controller, consistent policy, consistent performance, wherever your teams are
From the first site survey to ongoing monitoring, we handle the full lifecycle of your network infrastructure.
We walk your premises, map cable routes, identify coverage requirements, and document everything needed before a single device is ordered. No guesswork.
Full LAN/WAN design covering IP addressing, VLAN structure, firewall rule sets, routing, and redundancy, documented in a network diagram you can keep.
We source, configure, and install Ubiquiti® UniFi switches, access points, security gateways, and patch panels, everything rack-mounted and cable-managed.
We model your space to achieve full, high-performance WiFi in every area, including warehouses, multi-floor offices, and outdoor spaces, with no dead zones or interference.
We isolate devices by role, staff, guest WiFi, IoT, CCTV, VoIP, using VLANs and firewall rules. If one device is compromised, the rest of your network stays safe.
24/7 remote monitoring, proactive firmware updates, fault investigation, and on-site engineers when needed. We manage it, so you don't have to think about it.
Every network is different. We price each project based on the size of your premises, the number of devices, and the level of ongoing support you need. There are no surprise bills, just a clear scope and a fixed price before work begins.

For most SMB projects, we complete the design phase within 1–2 weeks and the physical installation within 1–3 days depending on the size of your premises. We plan all work to minimise disruption, most installations happen over a weekend or out of hours to avoid impacting your working day.
Not necessarily. We assess what you already have and recommend replacements only where the existing equipment is creating problems, whether that's performance bottlenecks, security vulnerabilities, or incompatibility with your requirements. We always aim to protect your existing investment where possible.
A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) lets you segment your network into isolated zones, for example, keeping staff devices, guest WiFi, CCTV cameras, and VoIP phones on separate logical networks. This means that if one device is compromised, the threat can't spread across your whole business. It also improves performance and makes compliance easier by controlling exactly what each device can access.
Yes. Ubiquiti® UniFi is purpose-built for multi-site management from a single cloud controller. We can design, install, and remotely monitor networks across all your locations, giving you one consistent view of your entire infrastructure, with consistent security policies, regardless of how many offices or sites you operate.
We offer 24/7 remote monitoring, proactive firmware update management, fault investigation, and on-site engineer visits when needed. You get a direct line to the people who designed and built your network, not a ticket queue. Monthly or annual managed support contracts are available, as is pay-as-you-go support for smaller installations.
