How We Work

From discovery to fully managed in under two weeks.

A structured onboarding process that maps your network, identifies risks, and gets everything under management quickly.

01

Network Discovery

We map your entire LAN and WAN topology, documenting every switch, router, and circuit before taking over management.

02

Configuration Audit

Existing VLAN, routing, and QoS configurations are reviewed against best practice. Gaps and risks are identified and documented.

03

Monitoring Setup

Monitoring deployed across all LAN and WAN links. Thresholds configured for bandwidth, latency, and availability.

04

Policy Optimisation

QoS policies and VLAN structures optimised based on your traffic patterns and application requirements.

05

Ongoing Management

Day-to-day management, firmware updates, and proactive fault resolution handled by our network engineers.

06

Monthly Reporting

Clear monthly reports covering bandwidth utilisation, incidents, and upcoming circuit renewals or capacity upgrades.

Real Results

How UK businesses benefit from managed LAN and WAN.

Multi-Site Retailer, UK

A retail chain with 12 UK locations had inconsistent VLAN configurations across sites, causing inter-site application performance issues and security policy gaps.

Standardised VLAN design rolled out across all sites. Application performance improved by 40%. Security audit passed with no findings.

Professional Services Firm, London

A 200-person consultancy was experiencing daily VoIP quality issues. Their WAN link had no QoS configuration and video calls were competing with file transfers.

QoS policies implemented within 24 hours. VoIP and video traffic prioritised. Call quality issues eliminated immediately.

Manufacturing Business, Midlands

A manufacturer needed to segment their operational technology network from corporate IT to meet cyber insurance requirements and reduce breach risk.

OT and IT networks segmented via dedicated VLANs. Cyber insurance renewed with no premium increase. Compliance requirement met.
