Business Networking: Design, Segmentation, Wi-Fi & Support
Networks designed, segmented and supported properly, starting with finding out whether the network is actually the problem.
Checked 4 October 2026. Built from the full service page.
In short: Network design, switching, segmentation, Wi-Fi and connectivity, designed and supported as one thing rather than a cupboard of equipment nobody has looked at. For organisations where something is slow and nobody can prove why, or where the network has grown by addition and needs a plan. We measure before recommending, because the network gets blamed for a great deal it did not do.
Who this is for
The problem
A network nobody owns fails in a way that is expensive to diagnose and easy to postpone. Nothing is broken enough to force action, so everybody works around it: the meeting that moves rooms because the Wi-Fi is better there, the report run at seven in the morning because it is quicker, the site that everyone knows is slow. None of it appears on a budget line, and all of it is paid for daily.
What we would do
Measure before you buy anything. Most network complaints we are called to turn out to be one specific thing, and it is frequently not the part anyone wanted to replace: a duplex mismatch on one link, a wireless design built for coverage when the problem is density, an uplink saturated by backups running in office hours, or DNS.
- If the kit is out of support and cannot receive firmware updates, replacement is a security decision rather than a performance one and does not need a business case built on speed.
- If you need segmentation for a certification or an insurer, that is a design change with a deadline attached, and diagnosis does not have to come first.
- If a site is genuinely at the limit of its connectivity, no amount of internal tuning fixes it and the circuit is the answer.
When we are not the answer: If you want somebody to supply and install a specified list of hardware at the best price, a reseller will beat us and should. We are worth paying for when nobody can tell you why something is slow, when the network needs a design rather than more equipment, or when you need it segmented properly and evidenced afterwards.
What is included
- Network design and documentation, including a diagram that matches reality
- Switching, VLANs and segmentation, designed against what actually needs separating
- Wireless design for density rather than coverage, with survey work where it is warranted
- Connectivity between sites and to cloud, including failover that has been tested
- Monitoring and alerting, so a degrading link is found before it is reported
- Firmware and lifecycle management on a planned quarterly cycle
- Diagnosis of the slow thing nobody has been able to pin down
What the last 12 months looked like
What it costs
Scoped and quoted against your estate rather than sold from a rate card. We price what you already run, including the parts that are working and do not need replacing, and the quote itemises what is included so it can be compared line by line with anyone else’s. Managed IT support starts at £40 per user, per month if that is the wider question.
Three questions people ask
How do we know if our network is really the problem?
By measuring the path at the moment it is slow, which is the step almost always skipped.
Why is our Wi-Fi worst when a room is full?
Because it was designed for coverage and your problem is density, and those pull in opposite directions.
Do we need to segment our network?
Almost certainly in a few specific places, and almost certainly not everywhere at once.
