Network Consulting

Networks that hold up.
Before they're tested.

Objective advice on how your network is built, secured and run — from a single office to a multi-site estate. Clear findings, a prioritised plan, and engineers who can carry it out.

Sound familiar?

Signs your network needs a second opinion.

Most network problems don't announce themselves. They show up as small frictions long before an outage.

Wi-Fi people complain about

Dead spots, drop-outs in meeting rooms, or guests and staff competing for the same bandwidth.

No current network diagram

Knowledge lives in one person's head, and every change is a small gamble.

Everything on one flat network

Guests, cameras, screens and finance systems share the same space, so one compromised device can reach everything.

Single points of failure

One internet line, one core switch, one firewall — and no tested plan for when one of them fails.

Compliance and client questions

Security questionnaires, cyber-insurance forms or PDPO obligations you can't answer with confidence.

Growth, moves and new sites

A new floor, a relocation or another branch is coming, and the current design wasn't built for it.

What We Advise On

Six areas, one joined-up view.

We look at the network as a whole — because slow Wi-Fi is often a switching, cabling or security-policy problem in disguise.

01

Network Assessment & Audit

A structured review of topology, configuration, capacity and risk, with findings ranked by impact.

02

LAN & Wi-Fi Design

Wired and wireless design backed by site surveys, so coverage and capacity are engineered, not guessed.

03

Multi-Site Connectivity

Site-to-site links, SD-WAN options and failover designs that keep branches, offices and remote users connected.

04

Security & Segmentation

Firewall policy, network access control and zero-trust principles that limit how far any one incident can travel.

05

Cloud & Hybrid Connectivity

Reliable, secure paths between your sites, your cloud workloads and the people who use them.

06

Smart-Building, IoT & Signage Networks

Segmented networks for cameras, sensors and digital signage screens — designed alongside our signage platform when you need both.

Built for

  • Enterprises
  • Commercial Offices
  • Hospitality
  • Healthcare
  • Education
  • Smart Cities

Voice, VoIP & Telecoms

Calls that sound as good as the network under them.

Choppy audio and dropped calls are rarely the phone's fault. They usually trace back to missing QoS, jitter, a flat network or a single internet line — so we plan voice as part of the network, not as an add-on.

Voice Readiness Check

Is your network ready for voice?

Five quick questions about how your calls work today. Get an instant picture of what to fix before, or after, a move to VoIP.

Question 1 of 5

Phone system

What do your business phones run on today?

Pick the answer closest to how things work today.

Call quality

How clear are calls and meeting audio at your busiest times?

Pick the answer closest to how things work today.

Voice on the network

Is voice traffic separated and prioritised on your network?

Pick the answer closest to how things work today.

Call continuity

If your main internet line fails, what happens to your phones?

Pick the answer closest to how things work today.

Calling anywhere

Can staff make and take business calls away from their desk?

Pick the answer closest to how things work today.

An indicative self-check — not a call-quality test. Nothing is sent or stored unless you choose to contact us.

What we do about it

01

Voice-Readiness Assessment

Bandwidth, latency, jitter and QoS measured across your sites before you move calls onto the network.

02

Cloud & Hosted PBX

Clear advice on hosted, on-premises or hybrid phone systems, matched to your sites, users and call patterns.

03

SIP Trunks & Number Porting

A move off legacy lines that keeps your existing numbers, with a planned cut-over so calls keep flowing.

04

Teams Phone, Softphones & Collaboration

Calling for hybrid and remote staff, and meeting-room audio that works as well as the desk phone.

05

Voice VLANs, QoS & PoE

A separate voice network, prioritised traffic end to end, and switch power budgeted for every handset.

06

Call Resilience & Continuity

Failover routing, a second path for voice and emergency-call considerations, so the phones stay up when a line goes down.

How an Engagement Runs

Five phases, each with a clear output.

Scope and timing are agreed with you at discovery.

  1. Discover

    Understand your sites, users, applications and goals.

    • Stakeholder interviews and site walkthrough
    • Existing documentation and constraints
    • Success criteria agreed
  2. Assess

    Measure what is really there.

    • Topology and configuration review
    • Wi-Fi and performance checks
    • Security and resilience gaps
  3. Design

    Turn findings into a target design.

    • Target architecture and options
    • Bill of materials and phasing
    • Risk and cost trade-offs explained
  4. Implement

    Build it with minimal disruption.

    • Staged rollout and cut-over planning
    • Configuration, testing and hand-over
    • Documentation updated as built
  5. Optimise

    Keep it healthy as you grow.

    • Monitoring and periodic review
    • Change and capacity planning
    • Managed support when you want it

What You Walk Away With

A plan you can act on, not a pile of findings.

Every assessment ends in documents your team, your management and your auditors can actually use.

Network topology map

An up-to-date picture of what is connected to what, across every site.

Risk-ranked findings

Each issue rated by severity and business impact, with a recommended owner and fix.

Capacity outlook

Where bandwidth, ports, licences and hardware will run short as you grow.

30 / 90 / 365-day roadmap

Quick wins first, larger projects sequenced, so budget and effort are easy to plan.

Executive summary

A one-page view of the current state, top risks and next steps for decision-makers.

Questions

Before you get in touch.

What does a network assessment involve?

We review your topology, device configuration, Wi-Fi performance and security posture, then rank what we find by business impact. You receive a findings report, a roadmap and a short executive summary.

Do we have to replace our current IT provider?

No. We can work alongside your existing provider or in-house team, whether you want a one-off review or ongoing help.

Can you also build what you design?

Yes. Our systems-integration engineers can implement the design and provide managed support afterwards, or hand it to your own team — your choice.

Does this help with PDPO or ISO 27001?

A network review surfaces the access-control, segmentation, monitoring and documentation gaps that data-protection and security frameworks care about, and gives you evidence to work from. It helps you align with them; it is not legal advice or a certification.

What do we need to prepare?

Existing diagrams and configurations if you have them, a point of contact for each site, and a clear idea of what isn't working or what is changing. We agree the scope with you at the start.

Can you move us off our old phone system?

Yes. We check the network can carry voice properly, help you choose a hosted, on-premises or Teams-based phone system, and plan number porting and the cut-over so calls keep working on switch-over day. We work with the carrier or voice provider you choose rather than selling one.
