Data and Communications Network Design and Installation

Designing an infrastructure and network requires a lot of equipment, whether it is hardware or software. With our supplier connections, we can get you the resources that you require cost-effectively. Here’s some of the equipment that we can acquire for your project.

Cat5, 5e, 6 and 6A Cabling

To create structured cabling, you are going to require cables such as Cat5, Cat5e and Cat6A. These cables are suitable for the creation of a structured cabling network that will suit the requirements of your business. We have supplier contacts that allow us to buy these types of cabling cost-effectively, enabling us to acquire them for you at little cost.

Routers

A router is a device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Essentially, your computer would not be able to access the internet if you did not have a router. We can supply routers from many manufacturers, but we primarily supply Ubiquiti routers. Ubiquiti routers are business-grade routers suitable for businesses of all sizes.

Switch

A switch is a device that connects devices together on a computer network. It is an essential part of a network for businesses. They use packet switching to forward data to the designated destination. This differs from a network hub, as a network switch will only forward data to one or multiple devices. On the other hand, a network hub will broadband data from all of its ports.

Firewall

A firewall is a piece of hardware or software that is used to protect your network from dangerous intrusions. A firewall is a barrier between your network and outside networks that are unsecure or untrusted. If anything tries to penetrate your internal network, the firewall will protect it. A firewall is an essential part of any network setup. Without it, you are allowing anyone willing to exploit your network have full access.

Modem

A modem is a piece of hardware that modifies a carrier signal to encode digital information. Additionally, it also decodes carrier signals to ‘understand’ the information that has been transmitted. A modem can be used in a range of situations, such as where two computers are communicating over a telephone line. Without a modem, a router is no use – and vice versa – regarding connecting to and using the internet.
