Firewall & Routing

OPNsense-based firewall deployment with granular rule sets, NAT configuration, IDS/IPS, and traffic shaping. Open-source power without the vendor lock-in.

VLAN Segmentation

Logical network segmentation to isolate guest traffic, IoT devices, VoIP, and servers — reducing your attack surface and improving performance.

VPN Configuration

Site-to-site VPN tunnels and client remote-access VPN for secure connectivity between premises and remote workers.

Structured Cabling

Cat6 and Cat6A cabling installations, patch panel termination, cable management, and full cabinet build-outs to TIA-568 standards.

Managed Switch Configuration

VLAN tagging, port security, STP, and QoS configured on managed switches. Proper documentation and labelling included as standard.

Network Monitoring

Continuous monitoring of network health, bandwidth utilisation, and device availability. Proactive alerting before issues impact your business.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my current network is holding my business back?
Common signs include slow file transfers, VoIP call quality issues, WiFi dead zones, and no VLAN separation between departments or guest traffic. If your network was set up years ago by a broadband provider or generalist IT company, it almost certainly has room for significant improvement.
What is a VLAN and does my business need one?
A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) segments your network into isolated groups — separating, for example, staff devices, CCTV cameras, VoIP phones, and guest WiFi so they can’t communicate with each other. This improves security and performance. Any business with more than one type of device on the network should have VLANs.
How long does a network infrastructure project take?
A single-site office network — including cabling, switch deployment, firewall configuration, and VLAN setup — typically takes one to three days depending on scope. We work to minimise disruption and can schedule cabling runs outside business hours.
Why OPNsense instead of a Cisco or Fortinet firewall?
OPNsense delivers enterprise-grade features — IDS/IPS, VPN, traffic shaping, DNS filtering — without the vendor lock-in or ongoing licence costs of Cisco or Fortinet. It’s actively maintained, has an excellent security track record, and gives us full control over configuration without paying for feature unlocks.
Do you support networks you didn’t install?
Yes. We can take over management of existing network infrastructure, audit the current setup, and document or remediate any issues we find. We’ll always give you an honest assessment of what’s there before recommending changes.

Ready to Build a Network That Performs?

Whether it's a new installation or an overhaul of ageing infrastructure, we'll design and deploy a network built for your business.
