Network infrastructure. Done right.

Structured cabling, enterprise WiFi, PoE switching, and IoT connectivity for Metro Vancouver and the Lower Mainland.

SERVICES

What we do

If it needs a wire, a signal, or PoE, we design it, install it, and prove it works.

  • Structured cabling

    CAT6 and CAT6A runs, terminated, labeled, and tested to prove each run hits its rated speed.

  • Enterprise WiFi

    Coverage designed from a heatmap, not a guess about where the ceiling is convenient.

  • PoE budgeting

    Switches sized to real load, not the biggest box on the shelf.

  • IoT connectivity

    Wired and wireless network drops for sensors, controllers, and smart building devices.

  • EMT conduit

    Conduit for parkades, exterior paths, and anywhere cable needs protection.

  • EV charger connectivity

    The network drops that let chargers report status and bill sessions.

  • Fibre termination

    Backbone splicing and SFP links between floors, buildings, and equipment rooms.

  • Cloud management

    Controller setup so the network can be monitored and administered remotely.

  • Camera and access control cabling

    Structured runs and PoE for IP cameras, door controllers, and readers.

NETWORK DESIGN

Design first, install second

Most WiFi problems are placement problems. Access points get mounted where the ceiling was convenient, not where a coverage model says they belong, so a network ends up with dead zones in some spots and three overlapping radios in others.

We start with a predictive heatmap of the floor plan. Wall materials, unit density, and interference all go into the model before anyone drills a hole. Original specs almost always call for more access points than the space actually needs, and every access point beyond what the coverage math requires is money spent on hardware, cabling, and switch ports that add nothing. Right-sizing the count cuts that cost while still guaranteeing coverage.

Our team is certified on the wireless platforms we deploy, and every wireless project ships with cloud management so the network stays visible after handover.

PROCESS

From walkthrough to cloud

  1. 01

    Walkthrough

    Site visit or floor plan review to confirm scope and constraints.

  2. 02

    Design

    Cable plan, heatmap if wireless is in scope, and a fixed price.

  3. 03

    Install

    Cabling, conduit, mounting, and configuration, site left clean daily.

  4. 04

    Test and hand over

    Every run is tested and documented, then handed over ready to use.

  5. 05

    Cloud management

    See the network live, change settings, and keep it updated from anywhere.

FAQ

Common questions

CAT6 or CAT6A, which one do I need?

CAT6 covers most office needs at 1 Gbps. CAT6A supports 10 Gbps and higher PoE loads, which makes sense for access points and cameras you want to stay current for a decade. We recommend the cable type per run, not per building.

Can you fix dead WiFi zones in a parkade?

Yes. Concrete parkades are one of the hardest environments for signal. We diagnose with a heatmap, then redesign access point placement and cabling to close the gap instead of adding hardware at random.

Do you install networking for EV chargers?

Yes. We run the network drops and connectivity chargers need to report status and bill sessions, and we have done this at scale for a national charging network operator.

Do you supply hardware, or only labour?

Both. We can quote and supply hardware, or install equipment you already own. When we supply it, it is sized to the design, not upsold capacity you will not use.

Can you manage the network after installation?

Yes. We set up cloud management during deployment so the network can be monitored and administered remotely, with ongoing monitoring available if you want it.

Do you work with electrical contractors and GCs?

Yes. We coordinate on pathways, timelines, and inspections on active job sites.
