Network Design and Planning:
  • Needs Assessment: Understanding the client's current and future networking requirements, including the number of users, devices, bandwidth needs, and security considerations.

  • Network Architecture Design: Planning the layout and components of the network, including wired and wireless infrastructure, to meet the client's specific needs and budget.

  • Topology Planning: Determining the most efficient and reliable network topology (e.g., star, mesh) for the environment.

  • Scalability Planning: Designing networks that can easily accommodate future growth and expansion.

  • Router Installation and Configuration: Setting up and configuring routers for internet connectivity, network segmentation, and traffic management.

  • Switch Installation and Configuration: Installing and configuring network switches to facilitate communication between devices within the local network.

  • Wireless Access Point (AP) Installation and Configuration: Deploying and configuring wireless access points to provide Wi-Fi connectivity throughout a designated area.

  • Mesh Network Configuration and Installation: Implementing mesh Wi-Fi systems for extended and seamless wireless coverage, especially in larger homes or buildings.

  • Network Cabling (Ethernet, Fiber Optic): Installing and terminating physical network cables to establish wired connections.

  • Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) Configuration: Segmenting a physical network into multiple logical networks for improved security and organization.

Network Installation and Configuration:
Network Security:
  • Firewall Installation and Configuration: Implementing and configuring firewalls to protect the network from unauthorized access and cyber threats.

  • Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDS/IPS): Setting up systems to monitor network traffic for malicious activity and take preventative measures.

  • VPN (Virtual Private Network) Setup and Configuration: Establishing secure remote access to the network for employees or for connecting multiple locations.

  • Wireless Security Configuration: Implementing strong encryption protocols (e.g., WPA3) and access controls for wireless networks.

  • Network Segmentation: Dividing the network into isolated segments to limit the impact of security breaches.

  • Network Monitoring: Continuously monitoring network performance and identifying potential issues before they cause disruptions.

  • Troubleshooting and Repair: Diagnosing and resolving network connectivity problems, performance bottlenecks, and other network-related issues.

  • Firmware Updates and Patch Management: Ensuring network devices are running the latest and most secure firmware.
