A multi-site network & WiFi upgrade with a 10 Gbps backbone
We replaced a customer’s ageing network with all-new switching — 10 Gbps between the switches and 2.5 Gbps to the edge across every site — plus new WiFi, all provisioned and managed from one place, with scheduled firmware and proactive monitoring.
Where they started
Spread across several sites, the customer’s network had grown piecemeal — ageing switches, limited capacity, and WiFi that was set up and updated site by site with no single place to see or manage it. They needed more speed and headroom, and one consistent, well-managed network across every location.
The migration, step by step
Replaced the switches throughout with modern, higher-capacity hardware built for the years ahead.
Connected every switch together at 10 Gbps, removing the bottlenecks between them.
Rolled out 2.5 Gbps connectivity around the sites, giving every connected device far more headroom.
Installed new access points across all the sites for reliable, modern wireless coverage.
Provisioned and controlled all the WiFi and access points from one central location — one place to see and manage everything.
Set firmware updates to run on a schedule and switched on proactive notifications, so the kit stays current and issues surface early.
What the business got
- A faster, higher-capacity network across every site — 10 Gbps between switches, 2.5 Gbps to the edge.
- All WiFi managed from one place instead of site by site.
- Firmware kept up to date automatically on a schedule — more secure, with less manual work.
- Proactive notifications, so problems are caught early rather than after they bite.
- One consistent, modern network the business can grow into.
