Network, Wi-Fi & Remote Access
Reliable office connectivity and encrypted remote access
Overview
An unstable office network disrupts meetings, freezes VoIP calls, and leaves remote staff struggling to connect. We engineer and maintain the office network wifi and remote access Calgary businesses rely on for uninterrupted connectivity. From configuring commercial firewalls and segmented VLAN networks to deploying high-speed Wi-Fi access points and secure peer-to-peer VPNs, we ensure your team can communicate and collaborate without dropped connections or security vulnerabilities.
Who this is for
Designed for organizations seeking structured, accountable IT operations in Calgary and Alberta.
- Offices experiencing Wi-Fi dead zones, dropped VoIP calls, or slow internet throughput during peak hours.
- Companies moving into a new Calgary office facility needing network switch, router, and access point setup.
- Businesses needing isolated guest Wi-Fi networks so visitor smartphones cannot access corporate files.
- Hybrid organizations requiring encrypted remote VPN access connecting remote employees to office shares.
What is included in scope
Every deliverable is written down and agreed before work commences.
- Commercial router and firewall installation, configuration, and security firmware maintenance
- Business-grade Wi-Fi access point deployment with optimal channel planning and seamless client roaming
- Network segmentation: isolated VLANs for corporate devices, guest Wi-Fi, VoIP phones, and building systems
- Secure remote access VPN configuration (WireGuard or IPsec) with multi-factor authentication
- Network documentation: topology mapping, static IP allocation tables, and cable patch panel labeling
- Troubleshooting internet ISP outages, DNS latency issues, and internal bandwidth bottlenecks
Step-by-step process
How we onboard, stabilize, and support your systems without surprise charges.
1. Network Audit & Coverage Mapping
We inspect your office cabling, router hardware, switch throughput, Wi-Fi signal propagation, and ISP connection speeds.
2. Architecture Design & Segmentation
We design a clean network architecture separating sensitive corporate servers from guest devices and IoT hardware via VLANs.
3. Hardware Provisioning & Deployment
We configure routers, switches, and access points, setting up traffic prioritization (QoS) for clear voice and video calls.
4. Remote Access Testing & Documentation
We test VPN tunnels, verify firewall isolation rules, and document administrative credentials and IP allocation tables.
Key business advantages
Why Calgary businesses choose transparent, documented IT delivery.
VLAN segmentation stops malware at the boundary
Smart TVs, guest laptops, and office IoT devices are frequently compromised. By segmenting your network into isolated VLANs, a compromised device on the guest Wi-Fi is physically prevented from reaching company accounting databases or file servers.
Prioritize voice and video calls above background downloads
When an employee downloads a large file, unmanaged networks allow that download to saturate bandwidth, causing VoIP phone calls to crackle and drop. We configure Quality of Service (QoS) rules ensuring phone and video traffic always takes priority.
Implementation guide & common pitfalls
Avoid the operational traps that trap small and mid-sized businesses.
Wi-Fi Best Practice: Avoiding 2.4 GHz channel overlap
In dense commercial buildings across Calgary, 2.4 GHz spectrum is heavily congested. We configure commercial access points to prioritize 5 GHz and 6 GHz (Wi-Fi 6E) bands and lock 2.4 GHz radios to non-overlapping channels (1, 6, 11) to eliminate interference.
Remote Access: Why WireGuard beats legacy PPTP/L2TP
Legacy VPN protocols are insecure and easily blocked by home ISP routers. We implement modern WireGuard VPN technology, providing near-instant connection, robust encryption, and seamless handoff between cellular and Wi-Fi networks.

Frequently asked questions
Can you manage our existing network hardware?
Yes. We support standard business-grade networking equipment (including Ubiquiti UniFi, MikroTik, Fortinet, pfSense, and Cisco) as well as helping you select new hardware when needed.
Can remote workers print to office printers over the VPN?
Yes. Subnet routing allows remote employees to print documents directly to office printers securely over their VPN connection.
How are network setup services billed?
Work is billed by the hour at our published $115 to $150 rate with a written estimate and scope agreed upon in advance.
