The label and the cable do not agree.
We trace relevant runs, inspect terminations and uplinks, and determine what can be trusted before building on it.

UniFi network design · Greater Boston
Design the network from the walls inward.
Coverage maps do not show brick, old cabling, crowded closets, high ceilings, neighboring radios, or the conference room where calls actually fail. We design UniFi systems around the physical site and the work happening inside it.

What we find on site
The weak signal is often only the visible symptom.
The access point is where power was easy.
Convenient installation can create poor cell shape, interference, and roaming problems in the places people work.
Coverage is strong. Performance still collapses.
Client density, channel width, retries, uplinks, switching, and internet capacity can matter more than signal bars.
Every device can see every other device.
Staff, guests, printers, cameras, and building systems often need sensible boundaries and different support expectations.
The complete path
Every layer has to support the one above it.
A polished access point cannot compensate for an overloaded switch, a weak uplink, or an unclear provider handoff. We follow the connection end to end.
Internet handoff
Provider equipment, static addressing, failover needs, and the demarcation point.
Gateway
Routing, firewall policy, VPN, network definitions, and remote administration.
Switching
Port capacity, PoE budgets, uplinks, closets, and room for future devices.
Wireless
Access-point placement, channels, power, roaming, capacity, and material interference.
Connected systems
Workstations, phones, printers, AV, cameras, access control, guests, and building devices.
Before · during · after
A network project should leave more than mounted equipment.
Survey and design
- Walk the site and discuss actual use
- Review provider, cabling, density, and growth
- Define equipment, placement, VLANs, and responsibilities
Build and validate
- Coordinate ISP and low-voltage dependencies
- Configure gateway, switching, wireless, and Protect
- Test coverage, roaming, segmentation, and critical devices
Document and stabilize
- Record topology, networks, equipment, and decisions
- Resolve post-cutover client issues
- Set update, backup, access, and support expectations
When to call
Bring us the floor plan and the frustration.
- You are moving, renovating, or opening another location.
- Wi-Fi is unreliable in specific rooms or under load.
- You inherited a UniFi controller nobody understands.
- Cameras, phones, AV, guests, and staff all share one flat network.
- You need a technical plan before cabling or construction begins.
Buying questions
Before buying network hardware.
Equipment selection should come after the site, device load, cabling, and operating requirements are understood.
Can you improve an existing UniFi network without replacing everything?
Often, yes. We inspect the controller, gateway, switches, access points, uplinks, cabling, channel use, VLANs, and client behavior before recommending replacement. The right fix may be placement, configuration, cabling, or only one constrained part of the system.
Do you perform cabling work?
We assess and document cabling needs, test relevant runs, define placement and technical requirements, and coordinate with qualified low-voltage installers when new structured cabling is required.
Can you design separate networks for staff, guests, cameras, and building systems?
Yes. We use practical VLAN and firewall boundaries based on the devices, users, and support requirements in the space. Segmentation should improve safety without making the network impossible to operate.
Do you support UniFi Protect cameras?
Yes. We can plan camera locations, network and power requirements, recording capacity, user access, and the relationship between Protect and the broader UniFi environment.
What does the space ask the network to do?
Send the address, floor plan if available, current UniFi equipment, and the rooms or systems causing trouble. We’ll determine whether you need a survey, cleanup, or full design.
