Network modernization for campuses, branches & field sites

We help public-sector and enterprise teams modernize switching, wireless, firewalls, and power in a way that fits real-world constraints: budgets, maintenance capacity, and change windows. The goal is not “new for new’s sake” — it’s a network that is easier to support, easier to secure, and easier to explain.

Campus & branch networks Switching, wireless & security Procurement-ready roadmaps

Start from the network you actually have

We begin with a practical view of your current network: closets, IDFs/MDFs, branch sites, wireless footprints, and security controls. The aim is to understand what is working, what is brittle, and where risk truly sits.

  • Inventory and mapping by site, closet, and role (access, distribution, core)
  • Quick identification of unsupported, end-of-life, and high-risk components
  • Alignment with existing standards, diagrams, and runbooks where they exist

Outcome-focused, OEM-neutral

We use vendors such as Extreme Networks, Fortinet, Lenovo, and others — but the starting point is your outcomes: resiliency, manageability, and security. The OEM mix is chosen to support those outcomes, not the other way around.

  • Designs that can work with multiple OEMs where necessary
  • Room for future changes without throwing everything away
  • Recommendations you can explain internally without jargon

Architecture Themes

Switching, wireless, firewalls & power planned together

Instead of treating each layer as a separate project, we bring switching, wireless, firewalls, rugged devices, and UPS/power into a single, understandable plan.

Switching & campus fabric

Access and aggregation designs that make it clear what belongs where — and that respect how your team actually operates.

  • Closet-by-closet roles and standard switch “profiles”
  • PoE/PoE++ sizing for APs, cameras, phones and IoT
  • Options for fabric or traditional designs, explained plainly

Wireless & edge connectivity

Wi-Fi that is planned for density, coverage, and security at the same time, not as an afterthought.

  • Indoor and outdoor AP placement by real use patterns
  • Segmentation for staff, student, guest, and IoT traffic
  • Integration with your firewall and identity stack
Wireless & access hardware →

Firewalls, remote access & secure edges

Edge and branch security that is understandable and maintainable, with Fortinet or other OEMs used where they fit.

  • Perimeter and branch firewall roles defined clearly
  • Remote access aligned with your identity and MFA
  • Segmentation that matches your network design

Servers, storage & UPS

On-prem and edge infrastructure that has appropriate power, cooling, and resiliency for its role — not overbuilt, not fragile.

  • Server and storage designs tied to workloads
  • UPS and PDU planning for closets and server rooms
  • Room for growth built into the plan

Rugged & field connectivity

Designs that recognize the realities of field work: vehicles, depots, and intermittent connectivity.

  • Rugged device integration into network and security plans
  • Depot and yard connectivity patterns
  • Offline-capable workflows where needed
Rugged field deployments →

Roadmaps that fit budgets & change windows

We translate architecture into a multi-year plan that respects fiscal years, school calendars, maintenance windows, and staff capacity.

  • Phasing by site, building, or region
  • Clear separation of “must do” vs “ideal” work
  • Roadmap slides or summaries for internal use

Procurement-ready documentation

Bills of materials and scope descriptions are written so they can be used directly in RFQs/RFPs, internal approvals, or direct quotes with us.

  • Hardware grouped by site, role, or phase
  • Language suitable for annexes and schedules
  • Room for alternates and substitutions where appropriate

When you have time to plan

For planned modernization, we can start with a workshop or discovery phase and map out where you want to be over 2–5 years.

  • Workshops focused on your top pain points
  • Designs that take existing investments into account
  • Set of options that can be revisited as budgets change

When things are already breaking

If you are already dealing with outages or unsupported hardware, we can stabilize the situation first and fold that into a broader modernization plan.

  • Short-term replacement designs and quotes
  • Explicit mapping from “emergency fix” to roadmap
  • Clear documentation of risks and trade-offs

Need a practical network modernization plan?

We can start with a single site, pilot, or current problem and grow from there into a roadmap that you can explain to leadership, procurement, and operations.
