A network built to last, not just to work.
Slow networks, dead Wi-Fi spots, and unmanaged switches are not just frustrating. They are a productivity drain and a security risk. IP Four designs, installs, and manages network infrastructure that Lancashire businesses can rely on.
Every layer of your network, covered and managed.
From the cable in the wall to the firewall at the edge, we design and manage the full stack. No finger-pointing between vendors, no gaps in coverage.
Network Design and Architecture
We design networks that are fast, resilient, and secure from the ground up. Whether you are fitting out a new office or overhauling an existing site, we plan it properly.
Wireless Infrastructure
Enterprise-grade Wi-Fi that covers every corner of your premises. Seamless roaming, guest network isolation, and centralised management included.
Switching and Routing
Managed switches, VLANs, and routing configurations that keep your traffic segmented, secure, and performing at full speed.
Firewall and Perimeter Security
Next-generation firewalls with deep packet inspection, application control, and intrusion prevention. Your network boundary, properly defended.
Network Monitoring and Management
24/7 monitoring of every device on your network. We spot problems before they cause downtime and resolve them proactively.
Network Refresh and Upgrades
Ageing switches, failing access points, and end-of-life hardware are a security risk. We plan and execute network refreshes with minimal disruption.
How we have helped Lancashire businesses.
Office Relocation
A Burnley financial services firm was moving to a new 3-floor office and needed a complete network built from scratch in under 3 weeks.
