Commercial Network Installation in Edmonton and Alberta
Most business networks are not designed. They accumulate. A router from the internet provider, a desk switch added when someone ran out of ports, a second one plugged into the first, access points bought off a shelf, and a camera system installed by a different contractor on the same flat network. It works until it does not, and when it stops working nobody can say why.
A commercial network installation replaces that with something deliberate: a documented topology, a switch core sized for the site, segmented traffic so cameras and guest devices cannot reach the systems that matter, a firewall that is actually configured, and cabling that terminates somewhere sensible instead of behind a filing cabinet.
We handle the whole path — survey, design, cabling, hardware, configuration, labelling and documentation — for offices, shops, warehouses, clinics, multi-tenant buildings and industrial yards across the Edmonton region. If you already have equipment worth keeping, we design around it rather than selling you a rip-and-replace you do not need.

Who This Service Is For
The situations where this work is usually the right answer.
Offices moving or fitting out new space
New premises where the cabling, switching and Wi-Fi need to be right on day one instead of patched together after move-in.
Businesses that have outgrown consumer gear
Sites running on daisy-chained desk switches and an ISP router, where adding one more device now breaks something else.
Warehouses, shops and industrial yards
Large or metal-framed buildings where coverage, cable distance and equipment protection all need engineering rather than guesswork.
Multi-tenant and shared buildings
Properties where several tenants share infrastructure and traffic must be separated cleanly for both security and billing.
What the Installation Includes
Everything below is part of a standard engagement, not a list of chargeable extras.
- Site survey covering building construction, cable distances, power and equipment locations
- Network design documented before installation, including IP addressing and VLAN plan
- Structured cabling to workstations, access points, cameras and equipment
- Rack or wall-mount enclosure, patch panels, cable management and clean terminations
- Managed switching sized for current ports plus realistic growth headroom
- VLAN segmentation separating staff, guest, voice, camera and building systems
- Firewall installation and rule configuration, not just a default-allow box
- Power over Ethernet for access points, cameras, phones and door hardware
- Failover internet configuration so a single provider outage is not a full stop
- UPS protection for core network equipment
- Every cable, port and panel labelled to a consistent scheme
- As-built documentation, IP schedule and credential handover
Our Process
How a project runs from first contact to handover.
Survey and requirements
We walk the building, measure cable runs, note construction and power, and establish what the network actually has to carry — users, devices, cameras, phones, uptime expectations.
Design and quote
You get a documented design: topology, hardware list, VLAN and addressing plan, cable schedule and a fixed quote, before any work is booked.
Cabling and hardware installation
Cable is pulled, terminated and tested, the rack is built and dressed, and switching, firewall and access points are mounted and powered.
Configuration and cutover
Equipment is configured, segmentation and failover tested, and the cutover scheduled around your operating hours to limit disruption.
Documentation and handover
Labelled panels, as-built diagram, IP schedule and credentials handed over, plus a walkthrough so your team knows what is where.
Equipment We Support
- Managed switching
- Layer 2 and Layer 3 managed switches with PoE and PoE+ budgets sized to the devices they feed, plus fibre uplinks between distribution points where runs exceed copper distance.
- Firewalls and security gateways
- Business firewalls configured with real rule sets, inter-VLAN policy, remote access where required, and firmware kept current.
- Cellular failover routers
- Cradlepoint and Peplink hardware providing automatic failover to cellular when the primary circuit drops. See our Cradlepoint and Peplink pages for detail.
- Wireless access points
- Ceiling and wall-mounted business access points with controller-based management, positioned from a coverage plan rather than spaced by eye.
- Racks, UPS and cable management
- Wall-mount and floor racks, patch panels, horizontal and vertical management, and battery backup so a brief power event does not take the network down.
