Network

Networks built from edge to core.

The position

From the patch panel to the default gateway, one accountable team.

Most network faults are physical. We install the passive plant, terminate it, certify every link and hand over the results. Then we run the active layer on infrastructure we can prove rather than infrastructure we inherited.

Portfolio scope

What is inside this domain

  1. Switching and routing

    Core, distribution and access switching, VLAN and routing design, stacking and redundancy that has actually been failover-tested. Configurations backed up before and after every change.

  2. Enterprise wireless

    Predictive design validated by an on-site survey, controller-based Wi-Fi 6 and 6E, and roaming tuned so a call survives the walk from the lobby to the lift.

  3. Network management and edge

    Monitoring on uplinks, controllers and power, configuration backup and change control, branch connectivity with SD-WAN or dual-carrier failover.

  4. Structured copper and fibre

    Cat6 and Cat6A permanent links, OM4 and OS2 backbone, splicing and termination, rack elevations, containment, earthing and a labelling scheme that means the same thing at both ends.

  5. Testing and documentation

    Certified test results per port, as-built drawings, port schedules and rack layouts handed over as a pack. If it is not documented, it is not finished.

Outcomes

What you get out of it

  • Every link certified and numbered, with the test results in the handover pack.
  • Wireless designed from a survey, not estimated from a floor plan.
  • A fault is traced to a port and a link, not to “the network”.

How we deliver it

The same six stages, applied to this domain

Planning, procurement, deployment, operation, maintenance and disposal are not a separate product. They are how every domain reaches production, stays there, and eventually leaves without becoming somebody’s problem.

  1. 01

    Planning

    A site survey, a look inside the risers, and a read of the existing port schedule, if one exists. Wireless is surveyed, never assumed from a drawing.

  2. 02

    Procurement

    Cable, panels, optics and active kit ordered against the approved design, with lead times confirmed before the programme is committed and no drop to a lower category to make a price work.

  3. 03

    Deployment

    First fix to the drawings, terminate, certify every link, label both ends, then hand over the test results with the as-builts.

  4. 04

    Operation

    Config backups mean a failed switch is a swap, not a rebuild. Escalation to the vendor is our conversation.

  5. 05

    Maintenance

    Monitoring on uplinks and controllers, firmware cycles scheduled in a window, and capacity flagged before the access layer runs out of ports.

  6. 06

    Disposal

    Retired switches and controllers wiped of configuration and credentials, abandoned cable pulled out rather than left in the tray, and the port schedule corrected to match.
