Corporate network, wireless, and firewall engineering
The cloud work only pays off if the office network underneath it is sound. We design and deploy the on-premises network for corporate offices: a switching and VLAN layout that segments traffic properly, business-grade Wi-Fi backed by an actual site survey, and next-generation firewalls configured for least-privilege access, secure remote work, and clean multi-site connectivity.
What's included
- Requirements and site assessment: floor plans, drop counts, ISP and circuit review, growth plan
- LAN design: core and access switching, VLAN and subnet plan, PoE budgeting, link aggregation
- Network segmentation: separating corporate, guest, VoIP, building systems / IoT, and secure zones
- Wireless design: predictive and on-site RF survey, AP placement, channel and power plan, roaming
- Next-generation firewall selection and configuration: policy rules, application control, IPS, geo-blocking
- Secure remote access: client VPN or ZTNA, site-to-site VPN, and SD-WAN for multi-office
- DHCP, DNS, and NTP design; 802.1X network access control tied to Entra ID / on-prem AD where in scope
- Cabling and rack layout guidance, an equipment bill of materials, and a cutover plan
- As-built documentation, diagrams, and a support runbook
How we work
Scope
A fixed statement of work: what we will do, what you receive, and the timeline. Agreed before any work starts.
Execute
We do the work in your tenant with least-privilege access, with updates at defined checkpoints, not radio silence.
Hand off
Documentation, runbooks, and a walkthrough so your team can operate what we built.
Network, Wireless & Firewall Engineering: common questions
Do you resell the hardware?
We specify vendor-neutral requirements and a bill of materials; you buy through your preferred reseller, or we can coordinate it. Common choices are Meraki, Aruba, Ubiquiti, Fortinet, and Palo Alto, matched to your size and budget.
Can you do just the Wi-Fi, or just the firewall?
Yes. Each of the three, switching, wireless, firewall, can be scoped on its own or together.
How does this fit with your cloud services?
Network access control and remote access tie into Entra ID and Conditional Access, and firewall segmentation supports the same Zero Trust goals. The office network is the on-premises half of that story.
Do you provide ongoing network management?
We deploy and document so your team or MSP can run it. Ongoing oversight can be part of a Fractional Cloud Architect retainer.
