What is LAN & WLAN?
A Local Area Network (LAN) is a private network connecting devices in a single location, using Ethernet cabling and switches. It lets devices communicate, share files and access centralised resources.
A Wireless LAN (WLAN) is a type of LAN that uses wireless access points to allow devices like laptops, smartphones and tablets to connect without physical cables. It offers mobility, flexibility and simplified infrastructure while maintaining the reliability of the wired network.
Together LAN and WLAN provide enterprise-grade security and coverage, ensuring reliable performance for voice, video and data across an estate.
Our LAN & WLAN offering
Business-grade connectivity backed by proactive monitoring, expert design and resilient architecture that keeps your network performing at its best.
Expert design
Our industry-certified engineers design networks tailored to your needs. Validated configurations, project management and pre-tested deployment models accelerate rollouts and minimise IT effort.
Security as standard
Enterprise-grade security embedded into every deployment – from encryption and rogue access point detection to guest network isolation. Protect data, support compliance and reduce risk.
Simplified management and monitoring
Access points and switches can be provisioned, updated and troubleshooted remotely. Continuous monitoring ensures proactive fault resolutions and uninterrupted performance.
Resilient and futureproof solution
Networks built for uptime: with business-grade SLAs and built-in failover. Add access points or switches, update firmware, refresh hardware and plan capacity proactively so your network is reliable, resilient and fit for future demands.
