HomeOffice Networking

We offer wired networks to companies that require a fast data transfer rate of between 10 and 1 Gbps. This rate varies depending on the cabling we install. As such, we give you several options and explain their transfer rate, installation process, and costs.

In addition to transfer rates, we advise clients to use such office networks if they want secure connections. The connection remains stable and fast even where there are obstructions like walls.

The only reason you may reconsider this option is the number of cables running along the walls and connecting all your office desks to the router. Each device connects to the network using a port, which means you need Ethernet cables running to and from the desks.

For fast-paced business environments, moving in and out of conference rooms and offices can be cumbersome for teams accessing your wired network using laptops. But that might be a small price when you remember wired networks have high transfer rates.

The other thing we ask our clients to consider is the range of hardware requirements for wired networks. It might look like an unmanageable condition for small businesses on a budget, but these components make the office network more secure.

Office networks give you extra storage and backup for your files. Your team can use one computer in the system for file storage and retrieval to back up sensitive documents in case the files corrupt in the other computers.

We also know that a small office with limited shared resources like printers may experience low productivity. Consequently, we network all computers and offices to the few resources for easier access for all teams. We also help you control file traffic by grouping computers to a specific printer. It seals the loopholes that may be affecting your team’s productivity.

First, decide the network type you want us to install so you can enjoy these and other benefits.

We know that your office network is fundamental to business growth. Your network builds or supports your devices, business data, applications, and software. For that reason, we put the network security and quality of hardware components first. Your network will face more security challenges than is the case for a home network.

We update our services often to provide the latest networking technologies. Therefore, our team keeps up with the market, scrutinises new internet access devices, and learns how these can improve our services.

Although the type of network you choose depends on your business needs, the components of the network are the same as in any other establishment. Hence, when you request a wireless connection, we use hardware components like a wireless network adapter and a wireless router. Some portable devices have an inbuilt wireless network adapter, so we may not need it while installing your network.

We use a long list of hardware components to build an Ethernet network for your large or small office network. They range from switches to cables, Ethernet network adapters, routers, and access points. As with wireless networks, some devices in your office, such as desktop computers, have built-in adapters, so we don’t use network adapters to link them to the network.

When clients ask for a hybrid network, the list of components is almost as small as when we’re installing wireless networks, as they need hybrid routers, Ethernet cables, and network adapters.

We use enough switches to connect all your networked devices, from desktop computers to printers and surveillance systems. There are different switches in the market, and we’ll take you through their benefits and cons before advising you on the best option for the wired network in your office. If you’re looking for a network switch that installs fast and requires minimal management, an unmanaged switch suits your network.

On the other hand, we can install a managed switch. It’ll let your IT team adjust the internet connection when there is high consumption in some networked devices. This network device allows you to manage port bandwidth and even create Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) for some devices to boost privacy.

Since this network switch is accessible remotely, it can suit your business if you have satellite branches. But we use this option in a company with human resources trained in network management to configure the switch. The other option we can add to your network is the smart switch. It’s better than an unmanaged switch but not as efficient as the managed one.

We use a router to connect devices in your office network to the internet. We also guide you on the best router for your wired network based on your internet needs. You may get a free one from your ISP because you have an internet subscription.

However, it may not suit your internet needs. When we get one for you, we count or estimate the current and future connected devices since our priority is building a scalable network. We factor in network printers, desktops, equipment in your conference rooms, security cameras, VoIP phone system, and smartphones.

On top of that, we estimate the possible internet needs of guest devices if you run a client-facing business. Giving them separate access protects your devices from cyber attacks.

While analysing these internet needs, we also check for WiFi interferences that may affect your small office network. As such, we suggest installing efficient routers like dual-band routers because their range is longer. Further, they have fast speed and minimal signal interference.

Whether we’re working on a large or small office network, we also ensure your wireless router is commercial-grade so that it can secure your network. It acts as the gate filtering traffic coming through the cable from your internet service provider (ISP) to protect your connected device.

In addition to showing you how to access the office network from inside the building, we also offer a connection to connect you from outside using a Virtual Private Network (VPN). There are different VPNs in the market, some suitable for small businesses and home office networks.

We know internet traffic from a large office is more than what travels through a small network with one or two connected devices. Hence, we use wireless internet access points to connect large businesses and wireless routers in small enterprises.

We insert these wireless access points into a wired router using Ethernet cables to create a wireless local area network for the office.

We also have clients running small businesses that hire freelancers and contractors who work from the office occasionally. Such companies need wireless routers with a good range for a strong signal throughout the space. To do that, we first evaluate the size of the office and find a WiFi standard suitable for the possible connected devices in that space.

Unlike wired systems that may have separate switches and routers, a wireless router is both an access point to the internet and a way to network devices within the office. Hence, when using a wireless router, we don’t use switches to network your computers within the office.
