Installation & Maintenance

Reduced downtime by forecasting network performance and requirements

Installation of a communications network should only be done by a properly trained and certified professional. Temperature, humidity, grounding, vibration, moving equipment, EMI, and radio frequency interference can degrade the performance of marginally terminated network environments resulting in potentially hazardous conditions and leading to revenue lost to repair and restoration. Our network engineers are trained to work with certified professionals to pull and correctly terminate your Ethernet cable.

Network installation services include:

• Implementation of the topology plan developed during the design phase
• Procurement of necessary materials
• Testing of cable prior to installation
• Verify proper system grounding and termination
• Installation of connectors and mounting taps

Once the installation is complete or if working on an existing network, our network engineers will baseline the current traffic load and pattern on your network. A baseline is a crucial part of any network implementation and maintenance plan; it gives you something to compare future network conditions against to determine if a problem is occurring. We compile useful data to start or add to your current baseline. A baseline will include:

• Items on network
• Serial numbers
• Software revision numbers

Finally, after establishing a baseline, our network engineers will use it to:

• Identify opportunities for increasing efficiency on your current network
• Assess your present network equipment and media capability
• Identify software and flash upgrades for your existing equipment
• Calculate the anticipated control traffic and timing
• Develop an implementation plan and recommend upgrades if needed.
