Yes. We identify the cause, which could be coverage, interference, cabling, equipment, and/or configuration. Once we know where the problem lies, we can recommend and implement a permanent solution.

Not to sound dramatic but, this could be a big problem when problems arise, especially as your network grows. Fixing an undocumented network adds significant time and disruption to the repair. We want to assess your existing network and build documentation showing how it connects and operates before you have trouble with it.

Growth, including additional employees, devices, business applications, and locations is a primary consideration. We'll weigh budget with supported products, business requirements, existing infrastructure etc to make future upgrades more manageable.

We follow standards and practices that any IT professional will recognize and be able to work with. This includes cabling standards, network configuration, wireless security, and the installation itself. The goal is a network that performs consistently, works with compatible equipment, and can be understood and maintained by qualified technicians.

Some changes do require a service interruption. We discuss those steps with you in advance and agree on a suitable time to do the work. Wherever possible, we prepare equipment before installation and complete work in stages to reduce disruption.

We do most cabling work directly. For larger installations or work requiring extensive cable fishing or opening walls, we coordinate with a trusted cabling contractor or electrician to have the cable run. As cabling is often the cause of "gremlins" on a network, we are very fussy about terminations and prefer to terminate cable ourselves. Outside contractors typically only pull cable and install conduit for us. We take over from there.

Yes, these are actually fun projects for us. We design secure connections between locations and provide appropriate remote access for employees. The approach we use depends on your applications, internet connections, security requirements, and how your staff work.
