Networks & connectivity

Network architecture and upgrades

A clear network design provides a framework for selecting and connecting equipment. Review the current environment, identify capacity or reliability issues and plan improvements around business priorities.

Wireless coverage that supports your team

We design wireless networks to address coverage gaps and dropouts. Discuss the layout of your premises, the devices in use and the areas where reliable access matters most.

Office moves and changing requirements

Moving premises is an opportunity to review connectivity and avoid carrying existing problems into the new office. Prodigy can help plan the network requirements and agreed implementation work.

Look beyond the internet connection

When an application feels slow or a connection drops, the cause may involve several parts of the environment. Office cabling, switching, wireless coverage, connected devices and the external connection all play a role. Understanding where the problem occurs helps focus the investigation and avoid replacing equipment without a clear reason.

Bring examples to the discussion: which users are affected, where they are working, which applications are involved and when the issue is most noticeable. This information helps establish the scope of a review and the priorities for improvement.

Design around people and places

A useful network design considers the layout of the workspace and the way staff move through it. Meeting rooms, shared spaces and desk areas can have different requirements. Wireless coverage should be considered alongside the devices and applications people need to use.

Growth also matters. Planned changes in staff numbers, locations or equipment can influence the design. The aim is to make informed choices around your likely needs rather than committing to capacity or features without a business reason.

Plan an office move early

An office move brings together premises access, connectivity, equipment and staff availability. Agree which suppliers are responsible for each part of the work, what information is needed from the new premises and which services must be ready for the first working day.

A realistic implementation plan makes dependencies visible. It should also identify checks before the move, the order of work during the transition and who will confirm that the agreed services are operating afterwards. Timing and any expected interruption should be discussed in advance.

Keep the network understandable

Good documentation makes it easier to understand how the environment is connected and what has changed. Discuss the diagrams, equipment details and configuration records needed for ongoing support. If a network upgrade forms part of a wider project, include those handover requirements in the scope.
