03
Wi-Fi networking
Wi-Fi planned around your building and user numbers, with guest networks kept separate from your business traffic.
04
VPN and remote access
Secure, encrypted connections for remote staff and branch offices, with options such as 4G failover for backup connectivity.

Windows Server setup and support, virtualisation, hosted email and application servers, plus migrations and hybrid cloud.
06
Network security and monitoring

Wi-Fi that works everywhere you do
We start by assessing your building layout, user numbers and the applications you rely on, then plan access point placement for strong coverage and capacity. Guest traffic is kept separate from your business network, and everything is secured with modern encryption such as WPA3.
We work with both MikroTik and Ubiquiti UniFi equipment, so we can recommend what genuinely fits your site, size and budget.

Servers and networking FAQs
What should I do about Windows Server 2016?
Plan now. Extended support ends on 12 January 2027, after which regular security updates stop. Your options are to upgrade or migrate to a current version such as Windows Server 2025 or to the cloud, or to buy paid Extended Security Updates as a temporary bridge. We'll audit your servers and recommend the right path.
Do we still need an on-premises server?
Not always. Many businesses can move file storage, email and line-of-business apps to the cloud, while others still need local servers for specific software or performance. We'll assess your situation and give you an honest recommendation, including hybrid setups that mix both.
What's the difference between business Wi-Fi and a home router?
Business Wi-Fi is planned around your building, your user numbers and the applications you rely on. It uses business-grade access points, keeps guest traffic separate from your internal network, and can be managed and monitored centrally.
Do you support MikroTik and UniFi?
Yes. We design, install and support both MikroTik and Ubiquiti UniFi equipment, so we can recommend what genuinely fits your site, size and budget.
Can you securely connect remote staff and branch offices?
Yes. We build secure, encrypted VPN connections for remote staff and branch offices, and can add features such as 4G failover so your business stays connected if your main internet service drops.
How do we get started?
Get in touch and we'll start with a review of your current network, servers and hardware. From there we'll map out a clear plan and quote, with no jargon.
