Network Installation

When the network slows down, everyone blames the application. Most of the time the problem is not the application — it is the cabling installed ten years ago.

Bottom to top: from physical infrastructure to application. Each layer has its own delivery document.

In brief

Mipo designs and installs enterprise network infrastructure: structured cabling, switch and router configuration, VLAN segmentation, wireless access planning and firewall installation. Inter-branch connectivity and remote access structures are also covered within the same scope.

Layers

Network infrastructure from cable to core, layer by layer.

Infrastructure is not a single job — it is layers stacked on top of each other. An installation that skips a layer makes everything above it fragile.

L6

Access policy

Who accesses which network segment, under what conditions

L5

Firewall

External connectivity, VPN and inter-branch tunnel

L4

Routing

VLAN segmentation and traffic separation

L3

Switching

Managed switch configuration and redundancy

L2

Wireless

Coverage survey, access point placement, roaming

L1

Structured cabling

Cable runs, patch panel, labelling, measurement

Site survey

No cable is pulled before the site survey.

Measurements are taken before installation. Capacity, coverage and downtime window are not determined by estimation.

Coverage survey

A signal map is produced before installation; access point count is determined by measurement, not estimation.

Cable inspection

The category and physical condition of existing cabling is tested. If it is adequate, replacement is not recommended.

Load profile

Concurrent device count and traffic type (video, file, terminal) are identified.

Downtime plan

Which work requires what duration of downtime and when it will be carried out is written up.

Delivery documents

Once the network goes live, what you hold.

Infrastructure without documentation is infrastructure dependent on whoever built it. The delivery file is prepared so another team can take over.

  • Network topology diagram
  • VLAN and addressing plan
  • Patch panel and outlet label scheme
  • Wireless coverage survey report (pre- and post-installation)
  • Device configuration backups
  • Acceptance test certificate
Frequently asked

Questions about network installation.

During the site survey, cable category and physical condition are measured and reported. If adequate, replacement is not recommended; only sections genuinely causing a bottleneck are changed.

This cannot be guaranteed without a coverage survey. Access point placement is planned with a pre-installation survey and verified with a post-installation survey.

Yes. Inter-branch connectivity is established over VPN or a carrier line; redundant connectivity scenarios can also be planned.

Work requiring downtime is planned outside working hours or at weekends. The planned maintenance window is notified in writing in advance.

Network diagram, label schedule and measurement report are included in the delivery scope.

Next step

We don't quote network installation without seeing the site.

Book a site visit and we'll start with a measurement of existing infrastructure. The report stays with you even if you don't work with us.
