Servers
We install and support several server operating systems. Windows or Linux, bare metal or virtual environments, Exchange or Application. With 18 years real industry experience, there is not many areas we cannot help
Workstations
Understanding bespoke systems and software becomes second nature. Communicating with end users to understand day to day issues is key to providing the correct systems without over quoting unnecessary equipment.
Network Cabling
From single ran temporary CAT5 cabling to full structured CAT6 our team can assist. Our staff carry tools to install, test and troubleshoot any network point.
From commercial comms cabinets and patch panels to installing cabling sympathetically into older properties. Our team listen to full understand the requirement and discuss any areas of difficulty before we proceed.
Network Structure & Cabling
Healthy networking is an essential element to a smooth running business.
Sometimes a quick physical check and re termination solves the problem. Our staff carry testing equipment and tools to handle Cat5 and Cat6 issues.
We can also provide new cabling from full buillding installations to a single additional run for replacement or new equipment.
Wireless Access Points
Wireless networking is fantastic…… when it works! The main issue is usually the router that provides the wireless signal just simply is not man enough for the job or not capable of achieving good service over distance.
We can help with extensive knowledge with distributed wireless systems on both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz frequencies. We can provide fantastic reliable results for indoor requirements and even site to site wireless bridge points for widespread operations over several kilometers or miles. Before we suggest anything, we like to get a site survey done so we can full understand your needs.
Internet Access & 4G / 5G Solutions
Good Internet access is always a minimum requirement for any enterprise. But when things don't run as fast as they should or the connection drops altogether - you could be left on hold for hours or even worse being guided for hours by a call centre operative.
We can not only diagnose your internal router but also can help report faults to your service provider with extensive knowledge to help get the issue resolved quickly.
And if you are totally down with a 2 days lead time from your ISP……. we can get you running through 4G & 5G! We can also provide many solutions to improve internet access. Just get in touch and we will get you connected.
3G/4G Internet Access
When normal Broadband / ADSL / VDSL / Fibre / Infinity lets you down…….. there are options!
For the last 2 years we have been utilising 4G and 3G through both EE and Three mobile networks to run everything from single computers to rural based call centres using VoIP. The technology is really capable and can save tens of thousands verses installing a Fibre Lease Line.
We have been down the 2-way Satellite system and fully understand the limitations on the the service. 4G does not suffer with the irritating delays that make satellite broadband unsuitable for many reasons.
Even when signals are low, we can help! We can survey and install directional antennas to improve service and ultimately get data moving quicker!
