The core your network depends on

Every device in your business, every computer, phone, camera, and access point, connects through your switches and routers. Get them right, and the network is fast, stable, and secure, and it stays out of the way. Get them wrong, and you deal with bottlenecks, dropouts, and problems that are hard to trace.

The right switching and routing is about matching the hardware to how your business actually works: the number of devices, the traffic they generate, and the room you need to grow. That is what we help you get right.

Two jobs, working together

Switching connects the devices within your network, computers, printers, phones, and access points, and moves traffic between them quickly and efficiently inside your site.

Routing connects your network to others, joining your sites together and linking them to the internet, and decides the best path for traffic to travel between them.

The right hardware for every layer of the network

Access Switches

Connect the everyday devices across your offices, desks, phones, printers, and access points.

Core Switches

The high-capacity centre of a larger network, moving traffic between floors, buildings, and server rooms.

Routers

Connect your sites to each other and to the internet, with the performance and security your business needs.

PoE Switching

Power and data over a single cable for access points, cameras, and phones, with no separate power supply.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers organized by topic

FAQ UI - Radius + Full Width Mobile
What is the difference between a switch and a router?
−
A switch connects devices within your network. A router connects your network to other networks and the internet. Most businesses need both.
What is a managed switch?
+
A managed switch gives you control over how traffic is handled, priorities, security, and segmentation, where an unmanaged switch simply connects devices. We will help you choose which suits your needs.
Do I need PoE switches?
+
If you run access points, IP cameras, or VoIP phones, PoE lets you power them over the same cable as their data, which simplifies the setup. We can advise on the right option.
Can you help me choose the right hardware?
+
Yes. Tell us about your network and how your business works, and we will recommend the right switches and routers for the task.
