Networks and Wi-Fi
Drop-outs in the meeting room, guests on the same network as your files, a firewall nobody has updated in years. Most business networks were set up once and then left alone.
We design it properly, install it, and look after it from then on.
Business network questions
Real Bytes designs, installs and supports business Wi-Fi, switches and firewalls from Brisbane, using Cisco Meraki, Cisco Catalyst, Ubiquiti UniFi and HPE Aruba. Senior Brisbane-based engineers build the network and support it afterwards, and we monitor networks remotely anywhere in Australia.
It depends on how you want to pay. Meraki needs an active licence on every device to keep working properly, while UniFi is bought once with no ongoing licence. We compare both against your sites, staff and budget and explain the recommendation in writing.
What changes
Access points are placed and set up for how many people use each space, so the boardroom and the back office both get a signal.
Staff, guests, printers and cameras sit on separate networks, so a visitor or a cheap device cannot reach your files.
Branch offices, warehouses and schools link back to head office or the cloud, with the same rules applied everywhere.
Every switch, firewall and access point is documented, with its licence and replacement date tracked, so nothing expires by surprise.
When the network drops, we own it until it is fixed. The engineers who built it are the ones who support it.
What happens
We check your current network, what is old, what is unlicensed and where it is weak.
A plain written plan with the hardware we recommend and why, priced before you commit.
Set up and tested before it arrives on site, then switched over out of hours.
Monitoring, updates and licence renewals handled from then on.
Why it matters
22%
of security flaws attackers exploited were in firewalls, VPNs and other network edge devices, up from 3% the year before. Keeping that gear updated is part of the job.
