Network Services for Geelong Businesses

From a free on-site site survey to certified Cat6 cabling, WiFi 6 deployment, firewall hardening, and full new-office IT fit-outs - all delivered as fixed-fee projects.

Network Audit & Site Survey

Free on-site survey - coverage mapping, interference scan, gear audit, and a fixed-price proposal for what's actually needed.

Structured Cabling (Cat6 / Cat6a)

Neat, certified Cat6 / Cat6a runs to patch panels, properly labelled. Built to last 15-20 years and handle multi-gigabit.

Business WiFi Design & Install

Coverage-mapped, commercial-grade WiFi 6 / WiFi 6E with separate guest VLANs, captive portals, and remote management.

Switches, Routers & Firewalls

Managed switches, business routers, and firewalls from UniFi, Meraki, Palo Alto, and TP-Link Omada - configured properly.

Firewall & Segmentation

Firewall hardening, VLANs, conditional access, and IDS / IPS - separating clinical, POS, IoT, and guest traffic.

PoE CCTV & Access Control

Network-attached IP cameras and access control sharing the same structured cabling - quoted as part of the project.

Outdoor & Multi-Building WiFi

Outdoor-rated APs and point-to-point links for cafes with alfresco areas, cellar doors, holiday parks, and multi-shed sites.

New Office IT Fit-Out

End-to-end office build: cabling, WiFi, switches, firewalls, AV, phones, and printers - all delivered before opening day.

Failover, VPN & Remote Access

4G / 5G failover, site-to-site VPNs, and secure remote access for field staff and multi-site businesses.

Network Documentation & Handover

As-built diagrams, IP plans, device inventory, and admin handover - so your next provider isn't starting from scratch.

Local Context

How we build networks that actually work

Every network project starts with a free on-site survey - we walk through your space, count devices, scan for interference, and map coverage. From there we design a hybrid wired-and-wireless network that fits your floor plan, the work your team actually does, and a sensible 5-10 year growth runway.

Wired infrastructure uses certified Cat6 or Cat6a structured cabling - terminated to patch panels and properly labelled, ready for multi-gigabit speeds and PoE+ for cameras, phones, and APs. Wireless is designed against a real coverage map using WiFi 6 / WiFi 6E APs from UniFi, Meraki, or Palo Alto - with separate VLANs for staff, guest, POS, and IoT so traffic stays sensible and secure.

Common project types

  • New office or shopfront fit-outs
  • Offices outgrowing consumer WiFi
  • Cafes, restaurants, and hospitality
  • Cellar doors and outdoor venues
  • Allied health, medical, and dental
  • Trades yards and multi-shed sites
FAQ

Network Installation FAQs

Straight answers, no fluff.

A simple office WiFi refresh with one new router and 2-3 access points starts around $1,500-3,000 installed. A full structured cabling build with switches, firewall, and APs across a 10-25 desk office typically runs $6,000-15,000. New-office fit-outs depend on cabling complexity and AV scope. Always quoted as a fixed fee after a free on-site survey.

Both. Wired Cat6 / Cat6a is faster, more stable, and what we recommend for desktops, printers, NVRs, PoE cameras, and VoIP phones. WiFi is essential for laptops, phones, and tablets. The best business networks combine the two with VLANs separating staff, guest, and IoT traffic.

WiFi 6 (802.11ax) is the current default for SMB deployments and WiFi 6E adds the 6 GHz band where it makes sense. Both handle dense device counts and modern workloads (Teams, video, EFTPOS) far better than older WiFi 5 gear. We use UniFi, Meraki, TP-Link Omada, and Palo Alto access points depending on scale and budget.

Yes. We run structured cabling through ceiling spaces, wall cavities, and existing conduits. For heritage or rendered buildings we use surface-mounted cable trunking that keeps everything tidy and reversible. Quoted on a fixed-fee basis after the on-site survey.

Ubiquiti UniFi, Cisco Meraki, Palo Alto, TP-Link Omada, FortiGate, and standard Cisco. We recommend the right platform for your scale, IT skills, and budget - and we're brand-agnostic when scoping.

Yes. Outdoor-rated APs, point-to-point links between buildings, and Starlink integration with proper routing are common projects - particularly for Bellarine cellar doors, hospitality venues, holiday parks, and trades yards.

Always. Every project finishes with as-built diagrams, an IP plan, a device inventory, admin credentials, and a written handover - so your team (or your next provider) isn't starting from scratch. No vendor lock-in.

No. Every network project is fixed-fee and handed back when it's done. If you want ongoing monitoring or support later, we can scope it - but it's never a condition of getting the project delivered.
