Business Network Design in Calgary: Planned Right Before the First Cable Is Pulled
Most network problems start before installation: access points in the wrong place, switches with no room to grow, everything on one flat network. We design your network around how your building and your people actually work, then install, document, and support it.
What network design includes
- Wi-Fi site surveys and access point placement: we map coverage before mounting anything, so you don't pay for dead zones or too many access points.
- Switching, firewall, and VLAN design: cameras, phones, guests, and staff each get the right segment, so one problem doesn't take everything down.
- Rack layouts and network drawings: you know exactly where everything goes before install day, and you keep the drawings afterward.
- Ongoing network management: after install, we can monitor, update, and support the network so it stays healthy.
Which brands do you work with?
We're vendor-flexible. We design, install, and support the platform that fits your environment, budget, and IT team, not the one that suits our margins. For our own deployments, we most often build on UniFi and Grandstream, two platforms we know inside and out and trust for reliable, easy-to-manage networks.
How much does network design cost?
Every network is different, so design is scoped per site. The cost depends on building size, the number of users and devices, how many locations you have, and whether you want ongoing management. Book a call and we'll walk through what your project needs and give you a clear quote.
Signs your network needs a redesign
- Wi-Fi drops in certain rooms or corners of the warehouse.
- Everything slows down when one department gets busy.
- Cameras, guests, and staff all share one network.
- No one has a drawing of how the network is set up.
- You've outgrown your switches or run out of ports.
- You're moving, expanding, or opening a new location.
Design-only vs. design and install
If your IT team or MSP wants to handle installation, we can deliver the design and drawings on their own. Most clients have us design and install, because the team that planned the network builds it exactly as drawn, with certified structured cabling underneath.
How We Install: The Standard Behind Every Run
Anyone can pull cable. What separates a clean, reliable install from a future headache is the discipline in the details. These are the standards our team holds to on every job.
Cabling
- Supported on J-hooks, never laid on ceiling tiles.
- Bundled with Velcro, never zip ties, so cable isn't crushed and changes are easy.
- Clean service loops left at both ends for future moves and repairs.
- Every cable labelled at both ends.
- Cat6 as standard, Cat6A when the job calls for it, and single-mode or multimode fiber terminated in-house.
Conduit and raceway
- EMT, flex and liquid-tight, and surface raceway, chosen for the space.
- Straight, level runs with clean bends. No kinks, no crushed bends.
- Strapped at proper spacing, with bushings on every end to protect the cable.
- Pull strings left in for future cables.
Testing and handover
- Every run certified with a Fluke certifier, not just a basic continuity tester.
- Test results handed to you on every job.
Cleanliness
- Exceptionally high standards for cleanliness. We leave your space the way a professional should.
