Business Networking Services to Optimise Your Connectivity
Because the wifi at the back of the shop is not a strategy.
Business grade routers, switches, and access points. Not the consumer plastic from the big box store. We design the layout, run the cable if needed, configure the gear, and document it so the next person who logs in actually knows what's going on.
Wired, wireless, covered.
Real network gear, configured for the building you actually work in. Survives the office printer, the back room shop floor, and the crew on the wifi at lunch.
Site survey
We walk the building. Mark the dead spots, the noisy spots, the where you need a hard line. Nothing gets quoted from a floor plan and a guess.
- WALK THROUGH
- RF SURVEY
- DEAD ZONES
Wired runs
Cat6 or Cat6a where it matters. We pull cable, terminate it, label both ends, and test every run with a real tester.
- CAT6
- TESTED
- LABELLED
Wireless coverage
Access points placed where they actually help. Seamless roaming, separate guest network, no dead corner of the parts room.
- ROAMING
- GUEST SSID
- FULL COVERAGE
Switches & routing
Managed switches, VLANs, real firewalls. Built so traffic flows where it should and stays out of where it shouldn't.
- VLAN
- MANAGED
- FIREWALL
Documentation
Every cable labelled, every config saved, every password handed over. If we got hit by a truck tomorrow, the next IT person knows what's what.
- LABELLED
- DOCUMENTED
- PASSWORDS LOGGED
Monitoring
Optional monitoring so we see the switch go down before you do. We get the alert, you get a phone call.
- UPTIME
- ALERTS
- REMOTE FIX
From floor plan to live network.
Walk the site
We come look. Old gear gets logged. Building gets measured. Wifi gets tested. We learn what's actually there before we propose anything.
Design the layout
Map of access point placement, switch closets, cable runs. You see exactly where every piece of gear lives and what it costs.
Install & configure
Cabling, mounting, configuring, labelling. Most small shops are done in a day. Bigger sites scheduled around your hours.
Test & document
Every connection tested. All passwords and configs handed to you in a folder. You get the runbook, not just a working network.
Pair it with the rest of the stack.
Wifi tired of letting you down?
Send the address and a rough idea of users. We'll book a walkthrough within the week.
Talk to usFrequently asked questions
What are business networking services?
Business networking services involve the outsourcing of your network infrastructure management to a professional provider like Northstar IT. This includes 24/7 monitoring, regular firmware updates, security patching, and performance optimisation. By offloading these tasks, your organisation can focus on core operations while we ensure that your switches, firewalls, and access points operate at peak efficiency with maximum uptime across your entire corporate footprint.
How do your networking services improve security?
Security is integrated into every layer of our networking services. We implement advanced firewall configurations, intrusion prevention systems, and virtual local area networks (VLANs) to segment traffic. This approach prevents unauthorised access and contains potential threats. Furthermore, we provide continuous monitoring to detect anomalies in real time, ensuring that your business data remains protected against evolving cyber threats in British Columbia and Alberta.
Can you support wireless networks in large warehouses?
Yes, we specialise in designing and deploying wireless solutions for complex environments like large warehouses and industrial sites in Prince George and beyond. Our team performs site surveys to identify signal dead zones and interference sources. We then install high performance access points and optimise signal distribution to ensure seamless roaming and reliable connectivity for your inventory systems, mobile devices, and staff.
