Building a Secure Network for a New Office

The challenge

A new office required reliable wired and wireless connectivity for design workstations, collaboration systems, guest users, IP phones and shared resources. The client wanted the infrastructure built correctly from day one rather than patched together later.

Our approach

Astek translated the floor plan and user requirements into a structured network design covering cabling, switching, Wi-Fi coverage, segmentation, internet security and power protection.

What Astek implemented

• Planned network points, rack placement and structured cabling routes.
• Deployed managed switching and business-grade wireless access points.
• Separated guest, staff and infrastructure traffic using logical network segmentation.
• Configured firewall policies and secure internet access.
• Protected core networking equipment with appropriate UPS capacity and documented the network layout.

Business outcome

The new office opened with a structured, supportable network instead of an assortment of standalone devices. Staff, guests and infrastructure could use the same physical environment while remaining logically separated.
