What We Deploy and Manage
The edge of your network is where breaches now start
The Verizon 2026 DBIR shows edge-device CVEs are exploited at internet speed and unpatched perimeter equipment is a top SMB entry point. A UniFi network operated under a managed patching, segmentation and monitoring rhythm closes that exposure permanently rather than periodically.

Certified Across the Full UniFi Stack
Our engineers hold official Ubiquiti accreditations across routing, wireless, and physical security. These are not marketing badges. They represent hands-on training and validated deployment capability across the entire UniFi product range.
URSCA
Ubiquiti Routing Training
Ubiquiti Routing, Switching & Cybersecurity Admin
Official Ubiquiti accreditation covering enterprise routing, VLAN design, firewall policy, IDS/IPS, and UniFi Network Controller administration. Demonstrates hands-on capability across Cloud Gateways, Dream Machine Pro, and the full switching range.
UFSP
Ubiquiti Surveillance & Access Control Training
Ubiquiti Full Stack Professional
Full stack Ubiquiti professional accreditation covering UniFi Protect video surveillance, UniFi Access door control, and integration across the unified security fabric. Validates engineering capability to design and deploy complete physical security systems.
UWA
Ubiquiti Wireless Training
Ubiquiti Enterprise Wireless Admin
Enterprise wireless accreditation covering WiFi 7 deployment, high-density design, site surveys, RF planning, and UniFi wireless controller configuration. Validates design capability across SMB, enterprise, and outdoor campus-scale wireless networks.
SI, MSP, Low Voltage, and Engineering. In-House.
Most UniFi projects need more than one type of contractor. Real Bytes covers all four roles under one accountable provider so you are not juggling a designer, a cabler, an installer, and an IT firm with nobody owning the outcome.
System Integrator (SI)
Full System Installation
Best for designing and delivering full-stack UniFi deployments from scratch, including the low voltage work that comes with it. We own the outcome from site survey through to sign-off.
Managed Service Provider (MSP)
Ongoing Managed Services
Best for clients looking for ongoing support, monitoring, and maintenance after install. We keep the environment patched, backed up, and performing after the install crew has packed up.
Low Voltage Contractor
Low Voltage and Physical Infrastructure
Specialised in the physical infrastructure behind every UniFi deployment: cabling, racks, conduit, and power. Ideal if you already have a UniFi design and need someone to install the infrastructure cleanly.
Engineering & Design Firm
Engineering and Design
Ideal for planning large, complex sites or projects with advanced documentation and architecture requirements. We deliver detailed designs that other integrators can tender against or build from.
From First Visit to Fully Managed. Typically 5 Weeks.
A repeatable, accountable process. Every UniFi deployment Real Bytes runs follows the same six stages so nothing gets skipped and nobody ends up with a box of parts they do not know what to do with.
Week 1
Discovery & Site Survey
On-site walkthrough, cabling inspection, Ekahau predictive modelling, and requirements workshop with your team. We identify every AP location, camera angle, door controller, and switch port before a dollar is spent.
Week 2
Design & Fixed-Price Proposal
Full network diagram, VLAN map, AP heatmap, camera field-of-view plan, and bill of materials. Fixed-price proposal with no surprise variations. You approve the design before we order hardware.
Week 3 to 4
Procurement & Staging
Hardware sourced through authorised Australian distribution. Devices pre-configured in our lab with your SSIDs, VLANs, camera names, and access policies. Ready to mount on day one of install.
Week 4 to 5
Install & Commissioning
Structured cabling, rack install, AP mounting, camera installation, access hardware rollout, and switch commissioning. Performed in-house by our UniFi-certified engineers. No subcontractors.
Week 5
Validation & Handover
Post-install wireless validation, camera coverage walkthrough, access testing, and controller admin training for your team. You sign off only when the network performs to the design specification.
Continuous
Ongoing Management
24/7 monitoring, firmware management, configuration backups, capacity planning, and incident response. Included in our managed IT contracts so the network keeps working long after the crew has packed up.

Enterprise Capability Without Enterprise Pricing
UniFi has matured into a genuinely enterprise-capable platform. Here is why Real Bytes recommends it for SMB and mid-market deployments where total cost of ownership matters.
No Recurring Licence Fees
Pay once for hardware. No per-AP, per-camera, or per-port subscriptions. The total cost of ownership is dramatically lower than Cisco Meraki, Aruba Central, or Fortinet equivalents.
One Console, Every Layer
Network, cameras, doors, phones, and storage all live inside the same UniFi controller. No juggling vendor portals, no integration projects, no separate support contracts.
Self-Hosted by Default
Your data, footage, and configuration stay on your hardware. Cloud-managed access is optional. Critical for organisations with data sovereignty or air-gapped requirements.
WiFi 7 and 10G Ready
Current generation hardware supports WiFi 7, multi-gig PoE, and 10G uplinks. resilient investment without paying enterprise pricing today.
Beautiful, Usable Interface
The UniFi controller is genuinely the best network management UI on the market. Onboarding new IT staff is faster because the platform is intuitive.
Strong Australian Distribution
Local Sydney warehousing means next-business-day stock for most product lines. No 12-week lead times that you get from enterprise vendors.
Trusted Globally
UniFi is deployed across organisations including Apple, Microsoft, NASA Ames, Hilton, Chick-fil-A, NBA, US Soccer, FedExForum (Memphis Grizzlies), Rutgers University, Columbia University, and CloudKitchens. Real Bytes brings the same hardware platform to Australian schools, retail chains, healthcare practices, and professional services.

UniFi vs Cisco Meraki vs Aruba vs Fortinet
Real Bytes deploys all four platforms. Here is where each one wins so you can choose the right fit, not just the cheapest or the most expensive.
UniFi
UniFi is the only platform on this list that delivers network, cameras, access control, voice, storage, and identity from a single console with zero recurring licence fees. For SMB and mid-market Australian businesses, the total cost of ownership over five years is dramatically lower while the hardware capability keeps pace with WiFi 7 and 10G.
Up to 60% lower than subscription-based competitors at equivalent scale.
Single-site to roughly 500 staff, multi-site retail and franchises, schools, warehouses, professional services.
Cisco Meraki
Rank 02 / Score 8.2
Cloud-first managed networking with enterprise-grade dashboards. The cost of licensing multiplies fast at scale but the operational experience is second to none.
Per-device subscriptions on every AP, switch, and firewall. Five-year TCO often doubles hardware cost.
Hundreds of distributed sites, organisations standardised on Cisco, businesses that need 24/7 vendor TAC support
HPE Aruba
Rank 03 / Score 8.0
Enterprise wireless pedigree with excellent high-density behaviour. Overkill and over-priced outside of campus-scale environments.
Complex licensing tiers, higher CAPEX, and steeper learning curve for smaller IT teams.
Large campuses, education institutions, healthcare networks with thousands of concurrent clients
Fortinet
Rank 04 / Score 8.4
Security-fabric heavyweight with the strongest firewall capability of any vendor here. Wireless and switching are solid but not the headline act.
FortiGuard subscriptions required to unlock most security features. Wireless and switching lag behind firewall capability.
Financial services, government, healthcare, and any organisation where firewall capability drives network architecture

On-site visit. Fixed-price proposal. No obligation.
"Real Bytes ripped out our patchwork of consumer access points, mismatched switches, and three different camera systems. They replaced everything with a single UniFi stack across our six sites. The WiFi finally works, the cameras are clearer, and we have one console to manage it all. The total spend was less than what we were paying in subscriptions to our previous vendors."
