NETWORKING, AV & ON-SITE IT

Most business networks grew by accident. Designing one on purpose costs less than fixing it later.

Segmentation in one picture. Each kind of device gets its own zone. Traffic between zones is denied unless a rule allows it, so a guest phone can never reach the office files or the machines.

// THE PROBLEM

Most small and mid-size businesses in Southwest Michigan are running on a network that grew rather than one that was designed: a consumer router doing a business's job, switches added as things got plugged in, and no documentation anywhere except in the head of whoever set it up last.

That works until it doesn't, a device fails, someone leaves, or an insurance or compliance requirement asks a question nobody can answer. Fixing it after the fact costs more than building it right the first time.

// WHAT'S INCLUDED

From a small office network to a full segmented build, phones and AV, with ongoing support if you want it.

  • Small Network Design & Install: router and firewall, switches, access points, basic segmentation, documentation handed over at the end.
  • Business Network Build: VLAN segmentation, managed switching, wireless design, firewall policy, full documentation, built security first, at whatever scale the business needs.
  • AV & Telephony Installation: VoIP or PBX phone systems, conference room AV, structured audio and video wiring, intercoms, digital signage.
  • Managed Network Support: monitoring, patching, and a priority response window on retainer, without a call center in between.

// REMOTE OR ON-SITE

On-site across Michigan, northern Indiana and Chicago; remote help anywhere.

On-site design, install, and support for businesses across Southwest Michigan and the Midwest: Detroit, Grand Rapids, Lansing, Ann Arbor, Kalamazoo, Battle Creek, South Bend, Mishawaka, Elkhart, Fort Wayne, Hammond, Indianapolis, Chicago, and anywhere between, with travel and setup folded into a scheduled engagement, not a same-day drop-in rate. For the right scope, longer-distance engagements are available by air. Remote consultation and troubleshooting is available anywhere, for diagnosis, configuration review, or a one-off support call.

// FAQ

Questions people ask first.

Do you work on-site in Southwest Michigan, or only remote?

Both, and the on-site radius runs well past Southwest Michigan, across the Midwest. Remote consultation and troubleshooting anywhere else.

What's included in a business network build?

VLAN segmentation, managed switching, wireless design, firewall policy, and full documentation, not kept in someone's head.

Do you install phone and AV systems too, or just networking?

Both, VoIP/PBX, conference room AV, structured wiring, intercoms, and digital signage.

Is there ongoing support after the install?

Yes, managed network support on retainer: monitoring, patching, and a priority response window.
