Business network installation in Melbourne
Cabling and networking, done as one job: routers, firewalls, switches and VLANs installed and configured properly, so the network is never the reason something stops working.
Cabling and networking, from the same team
A business network is more than a modem from your internet provider. Payments, staff devices, cameras, printers and guest phones should not all sit on the same flat network, because one infected laptop or one guest streaming video then affects everything.
Because we also run the cabling underneath it, under an ACMA-registered open cabling registration, the network you get is built on tested, certified cable, not just plugged in and hoped for. One team scopes the fit-out, the cabling and the network as a single piece of work.

Rack hardware ecosystem we work with
We install, configure and document hardware across the full network stack — from the firewall at the edge to the switch at the desk. Brands we work with regularly:
- Firewalls: Fortinet FortiGate, Palo Alto Networks, Cisco ASA/Firepower, Sophos XG, WatchGuard — edge security, VPN, NAT and deep packet inspection
- Routers: Cisco, MikroTik, Ubiquiti EdgeRouter, Juniper — WAN connectivity, BGP/OSPF routing and ISP hand-off
- Switches: Cisco Catalyst/Meraki, Ubiquiti UniFi, Aruba, Netgear, TP-Link Omada — LAN connectivity, PoE for cameras and APs, VLAN trunking
- Servers: Dell PowerEdge, HPE ProLiant, Lenovo ThinkSystem, Cisco UCS — virtualisation (VMware/Proxmox), Active Directory, local storage and CCTV NVR
Fits straight into a fit-out
Network installation is normally priced and delivered alongside your cabling and fit-out, not as a separate job weeks later. If you're opening a new site, see our fit-out pages for cafés, retail and offices, where networking is already built into the scope.
Questions about network installation
What hardware do you install?
Across the full rack: Fortinet, Palo Alto, Cisco, Sophos and WatchGuard firewalls; Cisco, MikroTik, Ubiquiti and Juniper routers; Cisco, Ubiquiti, Aruba, Netgear and TP-Link switches; and Dell PowerEdge, HPE ProLiant, Lenovo ThinkSystem and Cisco UCS servers. We recommend based on site size and budget.
Can you fix an existing network instead of replacing it?
Often yes. We audit what's there, document it, and replace only what's actually holding the site back.
Do you install networks in occupied businesses?
Yes, usually after hours or across a weekend so trading isn't affected.
Is networking included in a fit-out, or priced separately?
Both. For a new fit-out, networking is normally itemised as part of the same quote as your cabling. For an existing site, we price it on its own.
