Services
Network and IT
Structured cabling, Wi-Fi design and AV-aware network architecture, so your systems share the same infrastructure without conflict and your IT team inherits something they can actually manage.

- ✓ As-built documentation and cable labeling
Typical scope
Network and IT scope often runs alongside an AV project — the conference room needs cabling, the digital signage needs a managed port, and the paging system needs a VLAN. Handling both under one engagement removes the coordination overhead and the blame-shifting that happens when AV and cabling are separate vendors.
Standalone structured cabling projects typically cover a single floor to a full building fit-out. We work with general contractors on new construction and coordinate directly with property management on retrofit projects in occupied buildings.
Common questions
Do you pull permits for low-voltage work?
Permit requirements for low-voltage cabling vary by municipality and project type. In Boston and New York, many commercial projects require an electrical permit covering low-voltage rough-in. We confirm requirements during the design phase and coordinate permit applications as part of the project scope.
What cable categories do you install?
We install Category 6 and Category 6A unshielded and shielded twisted pair. For most office environments, Cat 6 is sufficient. Cat 6A is recommended for runs exceeding 250 feet or when 10GbE to the desk is a near-term requirement. We also install OS2 single-mode and OM4 multimode fiber for backbone and long-run applications.
How does this work with our managed service provider?
We coordinate closely with MSPs on VLAN design, switch port configuration and documentation standards. Our goal is to hand off a clean, fully documented network infrastructure that your MSP can manage from day one without deciphering our work.
Why does AV need its own VLAN?
AV systems — especially those with network-controlled displays, audio-over-IP and software-based room systems like Teams Rooms — generate predictable traffic but are sensitive to latency and packet loss. A dedicated VLAN with appropriate QoS policy keeps AV traffic off the general corporate network and makes troubleshooting faster when something goes wrong.
AV that does not become your IT team's problem.
Network design is part of the job, not an afterthought.
