CONNECT

Connectivity & wireless

/ 01

Business WiFi

Coverage, capacity, and roaming for offices, warehouses, retail, healthcare, and hospitality environments.

We design wireless networks based on a real understanding of how your space, devices, and users behave. Predictive heatmaps, on-site validation, AP placement, channel planning, fast-roaming tuning (802.11r/k/v), and capacity sizing for high-density rooms.

/ 02

Guest Network Access

Isolated guest SSIDs with captive portals, bandwidth limits, and clean separation from internal systems.

Branded captive-portal experiences, per-user bandwidth shaping, time-bounded sessions, automatic VLAN assignment, and full isolation from production. Useful for retail, hospitality, healthcare waiting rooms, education, and any office that hosts visitors.

/ 03

Routing & Switching

Core, distribution, and access-layer design with Layer-2 / Layer-3 segmentation and PoE budgeting.

Multi-layer switch design, VLAN strategy, link aggregation, spanning-tree planning, and PoE budget validation. We size switches for what you actually run — VoIP phones, surveillance cameras, wireless APs, and PoE-powered IoT.

SECURE

Security & access

/ 04

Firewall Security

Edge security policy design, NAT, IDS/IPS, and managed firewall services for business networks.

We deploy and tune firewalls from Fortinet, Cisco, Palo Alto, SonicWall, WatchGuard, and Meraki. Inbound and outbound policy, application visibility, threat prevention, content filtering, and secure remote-access integration. Quarterly policy reviews keep rule sets clean.

/ 05

VPN & Remote Access

Site-to-site, client VPN, and zero-trust remote access for staff, contractors, and multi-site operations.

IPsec mesh between branches, SSL/TLS client VPN for remote staff, posture checks, MFA integration, and conditional-access policy. Zero-trust frameworks (ZTNA) for organizations moving past traditional VPN.

/ 06

Network Segmentation

VLAN strategy, microsegmentation, and IoT isolation for risk reduction and faster troubleshooting.

A flat network is hard to secure and slow to troubleshoot. We design segmentation that separates staff, guest, voice, video, IoT, OT, point-of-sale, and surveillance traffic — each with appropriate policy, QoS, and monitoring.

OBSERVE

Surveillance & collaboration

/ 07

IP Camera Networks

PoE-ready, NVR-connected video infrastructure with dedicated VLANs and bandwidth headroom.

Camera-ready switching with PoE+ and PoE++ where the model needs it, dedicated camera VLANs, NVR connectivity, remote viewing for managers, and storage-aware bandwidth planning. We work with Axis, Hikvision, Dahua, Ubiquiti Protect, and similar systems.

/ 08

Video Conferencing

Conference-room AV, mics, displays, and bandwidth design for hybrid offices and telehealth rooms.

Bandwidth and QoS sized for video, deterministic wired connections to conference codecs, room-system integration (Zoom, Teams, Google Meet), and acoustic considerations. Healthcare telehealth rooms get prioritized treatment so consults stay clean.

/ 09

Cloud-Managed Networks

Meraki, UniFi, ExtremeCloud, and FortiGate Cloud platforms for centralized visibility and control.

Cloud management gives smaller teams the visibility larger NOCs take for granted. We deploy cloud-managed firewalls, switches, APs, and cameras with consistent policy, automatic firmware management, and remote troubleshooting.

OPERATE

Operations & standards

/ 10

Multi-Site Standards

Unified branch templates so every location runs the same firewalls, switches, APs, and policy.

Branch templates for hardware, configuration, IP plan, VLAN map, and security policy. New site openings drop from weeks to days. Troubleshooting drops from hours to minutes because every site is the same. We help operations teams stop firefighting per-site quirks.

/ 11

Network Documentation

Diagrams, IP address management, port maps, configuration backups, runbooks, and physical labeling.

Documentation is core to every project we run — topology and rack diagrams, IPAM, VLAN registries, port maps, configuration backups in Git, on-call runbooks, and physical labels you can read at 2am. Future you, future support, and future auditors all benefit.

/ 12

Network Automation

Templated configurations, scripted rollouts, and infrastructure-as-code for repeatable deployments.

Configuration templates checked into Git, scripted rollouts for new sites, automated config backups, and drift detection. We help teams move from "works on Tuesday" to "deployed identically every time" — even small operations benefit from a little automation.

Why solutions

We map technology to outcomes, not products.

A solution is a problem-shaped cluster of services and equipment. "Business WiFi" isn't an access point — it's the AP, the switch backing it, the firewall it tunnels through, the policy that lets guests on without exposing internal systems, and the documentation that keeps it working a year later. Expert Core Network packages those clusters explicitly.

Each solution links to the underlying network services, the industries where it matters most, and the vendor platforms we deploy on. Engagements start with a network assessment so the recommendation reflects what's actually on the ground — not a generic playbook.
