Data Networks

A network that doesn't drop the call.

Cat6A and Cat7 structured cabling, fibre backbones, managed switches and Wi-Fi 6E that actually covers the whole building. We design networks like installers, not resellers.

What's included

Everything in one quote.

Below is the full scope of what we deliver under the data networks banner. Most clients pick a subset — we'll talk through which parts make sense for your building and budget on the first visit.

Structured cabling

Cat6A and Cat7A copper, OS2 single-mode fibre, certified to TIA/ISO standards. Every drop tested and labelled — no surprises behind the patch panel.

Comms-room build

Racks, patch panels, PDUs and tidy-as-you-go cabling. We hand over a labelled, photo-documented rack on every job.

 

Managed Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 access points sited from a heatmap survey. Roaming, captive portal and per-SSID VLAN configured.

Switching & VLANs

Managed PoE+ switches, segmented VLANs for IoT, voice and guest, plus monitoring you can read without a degree.

Our process

From walk-through to handover.

STEP 01

Survey

Site walk plus heatmap if Wi-Fi is in scope. We mark every drop on the floor plan.

STEP 02

Design

Topology drawing, BoM and labelled patch schedule before we order anything.

STEP 03

Install

Cabling pulled, terminated and certified. Rack built to a published photo standard.

STEP 04

Document

Test reports, IP plan and handover pack — including labelled photos of the rack.

Case study

Co-working space, Friedrichshain

A 2,200 m² co-working operator needed reliable Wi-Fi for 250 simultaneous users plus segmented networks for IoT, AV and fire panels. We installed a Cat6A backbone with 24 Wi-Fi 6E APs and a managed-VLAN core that has not had a single unplanned outage.

Why clients choose us

The benefits

01 Every cable certified — Fluke test reports included with handover pack.
02 Single-vendor switch / AP / firewall stacks for clean management (we like UniFi, Ruckus, MikroTik).
03 Heatmap-driven AP placement — no dead zones, no over-spend.
04 VLAN segmentation for IoT, fire, KNX and guest traffic — cleaner and safer.
05 24/7 remote monitoring contracts available.

Common questions

You asked, we answered.

Don't see your question? Drop us a line — a real engineer will reply within one working day.

Cat6A or Cat7?

For 99% of buildings, certified Cat6A is the right answer — same throughput, easier termination, lower cost. We only specify Cat7 when there is a documented EMI or distance reason.

Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7?

Wi-Fi 6E hardware is mature and well-priced today. Wi-Fi 7 makes sense for new builds with a 5+ year roadmap. We'll talk you through the trade-off without pushing the newer thing.

Can you take over from another contractor?

Yes. We re-survey, re-document and re-certify. About a third of our work is rescuing networks from the previous installer.

Do you do remote monitoring?

Yes — most clients on a maintenance contract get 24/7 remote monitoring with quarterly written health reports.
