Business networking
Switching, VLANs, addressing and topology designed for reliability and supportability.
Network & Infrastructure
Business networks, Wi-Fi and firewalls in Durham Region
This is the office network: switches, Wi-Fi, the firewall, and the internet connection the rest of the business sits on. FSCS designs and looks after that equipment for Durham Region businesses, including cabling when the office is changing.
Built for the way the site actually operates
Wi-Fi
Coverage, capacity and roaming planned for staff, guests, devices and the physical environment.
Firewalls
Security policies, VPN, segmentation and Internet edge configuration aligned with actual business risk.
Internet resilience
Failover and redundancy options for sites where connectivity loss stops operations.
Servers
On-site servers, virtualization, and the line-of-business apps that run on them. Looked after with the rest of the network, not treated as a leftover.
Cabling & moves
Structured cabling, office changes and physical infrastructure handled as part of the broader network design.
Document it so the network is supportable
Infrastructure becomes expensive when nobody knows what is connected, why a rule exists or which vendor owns a circuit. Documentation is part of the deliverable, not archaeological work for the next outage.
Before a network project
- The site and a rough layout of where people work.
- How many users and devices need a connection.
- The equipment already in place.
- The date the work needs to be finished.
Cabling is planned on the network cabling page. Phones are discussed on business phone systems. Hosting and virtual machines are on cloud hosting and virtualization.
FAQ
Common questions
Do you install business Wi-Fi?
Yes. FSCS can design and support business Wi-Fi as part of the network rather than treating access points as isolated appliances.
Can you help with office moves?
Yes. Connectivity, cabling, switching, Wi-Fi, Internet, phones and workstation readiness should be planned together.
Can you investigate unreliable office Wi-Fi?
Yes. Start with where the issue occurs, which devices are affected and whether the wired connection is also unreliable. Coverage, interference, capacity, equipment and the internet connection may all need review before recommending changes.
Can we keep existing equipment?
We assess whether it is suitable, supported and correctly configured. The recommendation can distinguish equipment that can stay from items that need replacement; the project scope confirms what changes.
What do you need to plan an office move?
The new location, move date, site layout, staff and device count, current internet provider and any systems that must remain available. Internet installation, cabling, Wi-Fi, phones and workstation readiness need to be coordinated.
