Networks should be boring.
Most network problems are design problems pretending to be hardware problems. We design properly, install neatly, document fully, and monitor what we build — so the network becomes the one thing nobody talks about.
Cabling, switching, Wi-Fi, firewalls, VPN/SD-WAN, failover, UPS-backed cabinets — engineered to enterprise standards from the rack outwards.
Six things wrong with most business networks we walk into.
Nobody drew it
Ten years of "just plug it in there". No topology, no IP plan, no idea which switch feeds the boardroom.
One of everything
One core switch, one firewall, one link. Any single failure takes the whole site down.
Consumer Wi-Fi
Home routers as access points, one SSID for everyone, dead spots in the warehouse, guests on the office LAN.
No power plan
Load-shedding hits; the switches stay up but the router doesn't. Phones drop, cameras record nothing.
No monitoring
The first alert is a user shouting. Slow links and failing ports go unnoticed for months.
Flat and open
Cameras, printers, laptops and guests on one network with a default firewall policy.
From the rack outwards.
Survey & design
Site walk, RF survey for Wi-Fi, topology and IP plan, redundancy and power design — written down and priced before work starts.
Structured cabling
Cat6/6A and fibre, labelled, certified, photographed. Tidy cabinets with room to grow.
Switching & VLANs
Managed PoE switching, VLANs for voice, cameras, guests and IoT, redundant uplinks where it matters.
Enterprise Wi-Fi
Controller-managed access points, roaming that works, high-density capable, separate guest network with a captive portal.
Firewall, VPN, SD-WAN
Business firewalls with policies per VLAN, site-to-site and remote VPN, SD-WAN failover across fibre and LTE.
Power & load-shedding
UPS-backed cabinets sized for the schedule, PoE budgets that keep phones, APs and cameras alive.
Monitoring with Swiss Orbit
Every switch, AP, firewall and link monitored; topology auto-discovered; dependency-aware alerts; monthly SLA evidence.
Documentation
Diagrams, IP plan, firewall rules, configs backed up, credentials handed over. Yours, not ours.
Managed support
Changes, additions, firmware and faults under the same SLA as everything else we run for you.
Design, install, document, monitor.
Walk-through
Free. We map what exists and where it will fail. You get a written assessment.
Design & quote
Topology, IP plan, hardware, power and redundancy — fixed price, written scope.
Install & cut over
Cabling and cabinets first, then switching and Wi-Fi, then firewall — with a tested rollback at every step.
Hand over & monitor
Documentation delivered; Swiss Orbit live; managed support starts under SLA.
Straight answers.
We already have a network. Will you take it over?
Yes. The free walk-through maps what's there — switches, cabling, Wi-Fi, firewall — and identifies single points of failure. You get a written picture and a prioritised list; we fix what matters first and take over management from there.
Do you do the cabling yourselves?
Yes. Structured cabling, fibre between buildings, labelled runs, tidy patch panels, photographed at handover, tested and certified. Neat cabling isn't cosmetic — it's the difference between a five-minute fault and a five-hour one.
How do you handle load-shedding?
UPS-backed network cabinets sized for your schedule, PoE budgets that keep phones, access points and cameras up, and LTE failover on the internet link. Where a generator exists we integrate; where it doesn't we size the UPS honestly.
Can guests, phones and cameras share the network safely?
That's what VLANs are for. Voice, cameras, guest Wi-Fi, IoT and the office LAN are separated with policies on the firewall, so a compromised guest laptop can't see a camera and a camera can't saturate the office.
What do we get at handover?
Topology diagram, IP plan, VLAN and firewall rule documentation, cabinet photos, switch configs backed up, and credentials in your hands. If we disappeared tomorrow, your next engineer could pick it up.
What does managed networking include monthly?
Monitoring of every switch, AP, firewall and link with Swiss Orbit, firmware and config management, changes and additions, and SLA-backed support. Priced per site or per device.
Advise. Build. Host. Connect. Run.
Every service sits in one of four lines and runs under the same SLA: 15-minute P1 response, 99.9% hosted uptime, named engineers, monthly reporting, service credits if we miss. See the SLA in numbers →
Book a network site visit.
Free site walk-through. We map what you have, identify the single points of failure, and quote what proper redundancy would cost. No commitment.
Designed first
Topology drawn, IP plan documented, redundancy specced — before a cable is pulled.
Installed clean
Cable runs labelled. Patch panels neat. Photos taken. Documentation handed over.
Monitored after
Swiss Orbit watches every link. Alerts before users notice. Real SLA evidence at month-end.
