Fast, reliable internet and Wi-Fi for your office

Networks designed for the building, not the box

Most small-office networks were put together one purchase at a time: the router the internet company handed over, a switch from the office supply store, a consumer Wi-Fi puck someone bought when the signal didn't reach the back office. It works until it doesn't, and then nobody can say why.

Workflow IT designs and installs networks the way they should have been built the first time: a proper security gatekeeper at the front door, Wi-Fi placed for your floor plan, and everything written down and labeled.

What you get

• Wi-Fi that actually covers your space. We look at the real building before deciding where equipment goes. Separate networks for staff and guests, and coverage in the warehouse, the back office and the conference room, not just the lobby.
• A security gatekeeper for your internet connection. A business-grade firewall with sensible rules, safe remote access for people working from home, and content filtering if you want it.
• Separate lanes for different traffic. Guest Wi-Fi, security cameras and business computers each get their own lane, so one can't slow down or expose the others.
• Help choosing internet service. We help you choose between KUB Fiber, AT&T, Comcast Business and Spectrum where they're available, plus a backup connection if you can't afford to be offline.
• Wiring done right. A network is only as good as the cables behind the wall. We install and tidy those ourselves; see structured cabling.
• Labeled, documented and watched. Every device labeled, every connection written down, and an alert when something goes offline.

Under the hoodWhat's installed, for the technically curious

• Firewalls: business-grade, with sensible rule sets, remote-access VPN for work-from-home staff and content filtering where wanted.
• Switching: managed switches with Power over Ethernet (PoE) for phones, cameras and access points, and VLANs separating guest, camera and business traffic.
• Wi-Fi: access points placed after a site survey, with separate staff and guest SSIDs.
• Internet: circuit selection and ordering across KUB Fiber, AT&T, Comcast Business and Spectrum, with a failover WAN where uptime matters.
• Monitoring and documentation: labeled devices, documented ports and offline alerts.

Common calls

"The Wi-Fi drops in the afternoon." "The printer disappears from the network every few days." "Our phones cut out when someone uploads a big file." "The camera system slowed everything down." Each of those has a specific cause, usually home-grade equipment, everything sharing one lane, an overloaded connection or a Wi-Fi unit in the wrong place, and each is fixable without ripping everything out.

New offices and buildouts

If you're moving or opening a second location anywhere in East Tennessee, involve IT before the drywall goes up. Network outlets, the closet location and the internet order all need to be settled while the walls are open. Details on the projects page.
