Networks that hold up under load.
Switching, firewalls and business Wi-Fi for Waikato and Bay of Plenty commercial sites — every design validated in the Test LAN before any kit reaches you.
What's included
Most network problems are configuration problems, not hardware problems. A correctly designed network carries Teams Phone, video, file traffic and machine data without complaint. A network that grew over time without a plan drops calls in the boardroom, leaves Wi-Fi dead in the corner offices, and runs firewall rules nobody can trace. The difference between the two is whether someone has done the design work upfront and validated it before the kit lands on your site.
- Site survey covering switching, wireless, perimeter and segmentation requirements
- Switching design (managed switches, VLAN segmentation, QoS for voice)
- Firewall selection and rule design with current threat-intelligence feeds
- Wireless coverage planning, controller-managed access point install
- Identity integration so network access is governed by Microsoft Entra ID
- Test LAN validation of the full configuration before site cutover
- As-built documentation and ongoing monitoring under Managed IT
How we deliver it
We start with a site survey — physical layout, staff count, devices, the apps and services that actually depend on the network. From the survey we design switching, wireless and firewall as one system. The design is then built in the Test LAN — Alexis IT's in-house testing facility — so VLAN segmentation, firewall rules and QoS configuration are proven under simulated load before any kit ships. Cutover is scheduled outside core hours; documentation lands at handover.
Outcomes
- Wireless coverage in every work area, not just the comfortable mounting points
- Teams Phone that holds up because the network was tuned for voice from day one
- Firewall and segmentation rules that are documented and understood, not inherited
- A network designed to grow with the next 20 staff, not patched after they arrive
