Network Infrastructure Designed for Performance and Reliability
Fast, secure, and properly engineered networking for London offices that cannot afford slow connections or unexpected outages.
Your Network Is the Foundation of Everything
Every application, every phone call, every file transfer, every cloud service your business uses depends on the network underneath it. When the network is slow, everything is slow. When the network goes down, everything stops.
Despite this, network infrastructure in many London offices has not been properly reviewed in years. Businesses run on consumer-grade routers, unmanaged switches, and Wi-Fi access points that were positioned based on where the nearest power socket was rather than where coverage was needed.
How We Build Networks
Enterprise networking starts with understanding what the network needs to support. We audit your current environment, map your applications and traffic patterns, count your devices, and identify your performance requirements. A 30-person law firm running cloud-based document management has very different needs from a 50-seat trading floor pulling real-time market data.
From that assessment, we design a network architecture that handles your current load with headroom for growth. This includes structured cabling, managed switches with proper VLAN segmentation, enterprise Wi-Fi with controller-based management, and a next-generation firewall that provides both security and traffic visibility.
We specify and procure the hardware, configure it to our standards, install it cleanly, and document everything. Every port assignment, every VLAN, every firewall rule is recorded so that future changes are straightforward and nothing is left to guesswork.
Wi-Fi That Actually Works
Poor Wi-Fi is the most common complaint we hear from businesses in shared office buildings and open-plan spaces across London. The problem is almost always the same: access points were installed without a site survey, so coverage is uneven, channels overlap, and capacity runs out when everyone is in the office.
We conduct professional wireless surveys that map signal strength, interference sources, and channel utilisation across your space. Then we design an access point layout that delivers consistent coverage and enough capacity for your actual device count, including laptops, phones, tablets, and video conferencing hardware.
Managed Firewalls and SD-WAN
Your firewall is both your first line of network defence and a critical traffic management tool. We deploy and manage enterprise firewalls that provide intrusion prevention, content filtering, VPN termination, and detailed traffic analytics.
For businesses with multiple sites, SD-WAN replaces expensive MPLS circuits with intelligent, encrypted connections over standard internet links. Traffic is routed dynamically based on application priority and link quality, giving you consistent performance at a fraction of the legacy cost.
We monitor every component of your network infrastructure around the clock. When a switch port fails, an access point drops offline, or bandwidth utilisation approaches capacity, we know about it and respond before your team notices.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
We're moving offices. Can you handle the network for our new space?
Yes. We handle office moves end to end from a networking perspective: site survey, cabling specification, rack build, hardware procurement, configuration, and testing. We coordinate with your fit-out contractor and ISP to ensure connectivity is live on day one.
What firewall brands do you work with?
We primarily deploy Fortinet and Meraki firewalls. Both offer enterprise-grade security features, cloud management, and strong integration with our monitoring tools. We can also manage existing SonicWall, Sophos, and Palo Alto deployments.
Do you support multi-site networking?
Yes. We design and manage SD-WAN solutions that connect multiple offices, data centres, and cloud environments over encrypted tunnels. This gives you consistent performance and security across all locations.
How do you handle Wi-Fi in open plan offices?
We conduct a wireless site survey using professional tools to map coverage, interference, and capacity requirements. Then we design an access point layout that provides consistent coverage with enough capacity for your device density.
Can you improve our existing network without replacing everything?
Often, yes. Many network issues stem from misconfiguration rather than hardware limitations. We audit your current setup, identify bottlenecks, and recommend targeted improvements. Full replacements are only suggested when the existing hardware genuinely cannot meet your needs.
