Managed Network & Wi-Fi
Your whole network, designed, installed and run for one monthly price
Most multi-site networks were built one location at a time: different switches and Wi-Fi at each site, a firewall nobody wants to touch, and an IT partner who bills by the hour for every change. Network as a service puts all of it with one provider that owns the gear, runs it and replaces it when it ages. I'll show you what that costs next to what you spend today.
The problem
What usually brings people to this page
Every site is set up differently
Different gear and settings at each location, and nobody has the full picture until something breaks.
Every change is a ticket and an invoice
Moves, adds and changes wait in an outside provider's queue and show up on next month's bill.
Refresh turns into a capital project
Switches, access points, firewalls and licenses all come due at once, every few years.
What network as a service includes
One subscription instead of a pile of vendors
- A design for each location: floor plan, Wi-Fi coverage, switching, security and cellular backup
- Hardware, software and installation in one subscription
- Security built in: firewall, VPN, intrusion prevention and DNS filtering
- Monitoring and support, with someone on site when it's needed
- Hardware refreshes during the term at no extra cost
- Pay monthly, annually or up front, as an operating or capital expense
Where it fits best
Who gets the most out of it
Multi-location businesses
Retail, restaurants, clinics and branch offices get the same design at every site, and you see all of them in one place.
Growing companies
New offices, warehouses and moves go live on a predictable schedule instead of a new equipment project each time.
Teams moving to cloud phones or a cloud contact center
Call quality depends on the network underneath it. I plan the network and the voice platform together.
Start with one site
Send one location's bills. Get a side-by-side.
Send the network, Wi-Fi support and internet bills for a single location. I'll show what that site costs today next to a network-as-a-service quote, plus anything on the circuits that looks wrong.

What is network as a service?
One provider designs, installs, owns and runs your wired network, Wi-Fi and security for a monthly subscription. Support and hardware refreshes are included, so there is no big equipment purchase every few years.
We already have Cisco, Meraki or Aruba. Do we have to replace it?
No. The best time to look is at a license renewal, a hardware end of life, a new location or a move. I compare network as a service against renewing what you have, and if renewing is the better deal, I'll tell you.
Who supports the network day to day?
The provider monitors and supports the network and sends someone on site when needed. Your IT team keeps full visibility and stays in control of changes.
What does it cost?
It depends on the number of sites, users and square footage. Send me the network and internet bills for one location and I'll show you what that site costs today next to a network-as-a-service quote. There is no fee.
