NETWORKING & CONNECTIVITY

Networks built to keep working

We design and operate multi-site networks that hold up under real conditions: circuit failures, vendor outages, traffic spikes, and security events. Our approach blends SD-WAN, fixed wireless, and cellular uplinks with policy-based segmentation, so a problem at one site stays at one site.

What's in scope

Six modules we deliver as a complete package or any combination, depending on your starting point.

SD-WAN & multi-site routing

Active-active architectures with policy-driven path selection across fiber, fixed wireless, and cellular uplinks. Vendor-portable, so swapping a carrier is a configuration change, not a redesign.

Secure wireless (Wi-Fi 6/6E/7)

RF surveys, controller-based or cloud-managed deployments, separate guest and operational SSIDs, and 802.1X authentication tied to your identity provider.

Network segmentation

VLANs, firewall zones, and microsegmentation that separate corporate, IoT, voice, video, POS, and OT traffic, improving security posture and simplifying troubleshooting.

Edge & branch security

Next-generation firewalls, IDS/IPS, application control, and SASE/SSE integration for users and locations that need policy enforcement at the edge.

Routing & QoS for critical apps

Latency-sensitive traffic (VoIP, video, real-time inventory, payment) treated with explicit QoS classes, validated with end-to-end measurements before go-live.

Operational handoff

Diagrams that match the running config, runbooks for common failures, and dashboards your team can read without us. We transfer ownership, not dependency.

What changes after we're done

Failover that's automatic, not manual

Sub-30-second recovery from circuit failures with no operator intervention. Stores, sites, and offices stay online through individual link drops.

Fewer carrier escalations

When something does break, the system has already routed around it. Tickets shift from 'we're down' to 'a circuit is degraded, please look when you can'.

Cleaner segmentation, simpler audits

Corporate, guest, IoT, and operational traffic stay in their lanes. Auditors see explicit policy, not assumptions.

Vendor-portable architecture

If your carrier raises prices or your hardware vendor changes terms, your design survives the swap.

What you receive on paper

High-level and low-level design documents

Architecture diagrams, IP plan, VLAN plan, routing decisions, and the trade-offs we made along the way.

Configuration baselines and templates

Standard-built device configurations stored in version control, with change history and rollback paths.

Cutover plan with explicit rollback

Step-by-step migration sequence, validation checkpoints, and a tested back-out for every change window.

Runbooks for common scenarios

Failover testing, circuit replacement, firmware upgrades, BGP re-peering, wireless RF re-scoping, written so your team can run them.

Monitoring dashboards

Per-site link health, throughput, error rates, and active route, visible to both your team and ours.

Common questions

How long does a typical multi-site rollout take?

Single-site refreshes are 2–4 weeks. Multi-site rollouts with new circuits and hardware run 6–12 weeks, with sites brought up in waves so risk stays contained. We share the per-wave schedule before a contract is signed.

Can you work with our existing carriers and hardware vendors?

Yes, we are vendor-neutral. We work with your existing carriers, recommend swaps only when there's a measurable reason, and design for portability so you keep negotiating leverage.

What happens if a circuit goes down?

Designs include automatic failover to backup paths (typically under 30 seconds) blended across fiber, fixed wireless, and cellular. We monitor actively, so we usually know before users do, and we own the carrier escalation.

How do you handle Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 in existing buildings?

We do an RF survey first (predictive or onsite, depending on building complexity), then size APs and switching for the densities you actually have. We will not over-spec Wi-Fi 7 if your endpoints don't use it; we will tell you which clients can.

Do you offer SASE or SSE for distributed users?

Yes. We design and deploy Secure Access Service Edge architectures (cloud-delivered firewall, ZTNA, secure web gateway) for organizations with hybrid workforces or many small sites. We're vendor-neutral here too: Zscaler, Cloudflare, Cato, Netskope, or your existing platform.
