Networking and structured cabling that stops being the reason work stalls
Office and campus networks done properly: Cat6 and fibre cabling, managed switches, VLAN segmentation, business-grade Wi-Fi, firewalls, VPN and documented rack layouts.
In short
Structured cabling is quoted per point after a site walk — cable route length, ceiling and conduit access, floor count and the number of drops per room change the price far more than the cable itself does. Anyone quoting a network without visiting is guessing, and the guess is usually corrected upward mid-installation.
A complete job covers the cabling plan and labelling scheme, Cat6/Cat6A or fibre installation with test certificates, managed switches with VLANs and a PoE budget planned for cameras and phones, a Wi-Fi survey with access-point placement, firewall and VPN, and documentation — rack layout, IP schema and a network diagram.

Why your Wi-Fi is bad, and what actually fixes it
Wi-Fi complaints are rarely solved by a better router. In almost every office I survey, the cause is one of a short list — and buying a stronger access point makes two of them worse, not better.
| Symptom | Usual real cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Dead zones in specific rooms | Access points placed where cable already existed, not where coverage is needed | Wi-Fi survey, then cable to the right positions |
| Slow in the afternoon only | Client density on too few access points, or a saturated uplink | More APs with lower power, plus band steering |
| Drops when walking between areas | No roaming configuration between APs | Single controller, matched SSIDs, proper roaming thresholds |
| Fast on speed test, slow in apps | Congested channels or an overloaded firewall, not bandwidth | Channel plan, QoS, right-sized firewall |
| Guests slow down staff | One flat network with no segmentation | VLANs with rate limits per network |
Segmentation: why cameras must not share a network with accounts
A flat network means every device can reach every other device. That is convenient right up until a compromised CCTV recorder, a guest laptop or an unpatched printer becomes the path into your accounting machine — which is exactly how a large share of small-business incidents begin.
Proper segmentation puts cameras, guests, staff, payments and IoT devices on separate VLANs with rules about what may talk to what. It costs nothing extra at installation time and is expensive to retrofit, which is why it belongs in the original design.
- Separate VLANs for staff, guests, CCTV, VoIP, payments and building systems
- Firewall rules between segments, written down rather than remembered
- PoE budget planned so cameras and phones do not brown out a switch
- Client or site-to-site VPN so remote staff reach internal systems without exposing them
- Content filtering where you need it, configured to be explainable to staff
- Guest Wi-Fi with rate limits and no route to anything internal
What a documented handover contains
The difference between a network you own and a network you are hostage to is a folder. Every installation ends with one.
- Labelled patch panel and outlets matching a written numbering scheme
- Cable test certificates for every run
- Rack elevation drawing showing what is where
- IP address schema and VLAN map
- Network diagram showing switches, uplinks, firewall and internet services
- Device inventory with model, serial, warranty and admin credentials in your name
Indicative pricing
What networking & cabling costs
Networking is quoted per point after a site survey. Reliable published per-point rates for India do not exist for a good reason — cable route, access, floor count and drop density move the number by multiples.
| Quote line | How it is priced |
|---|---|
| Site survey & cabling plan | Fixed fee, credited against the installation if you proceed |
| Structured cabling | Per point, including cable, termination, faceplate, patch lead, dressing and testing |
| Active hardware | At transparent supply cost — you see model and price before ordering |
| Wi-Fi survey & AP placement | Per floor or per building |
| Firewall & VPN configuration | Fixed fee per site |
| Documentation pack | Included in every installation, never an extra |
| Network AMC | From ₹5,000 / month — monitoring, changes and a defined response window |
Hardware is quoted at transparent supply cost with brand, model and warranty listed line by line, so you can compare against any other quote item for item.

Why clients pick me for this
Four promises, written into every networking & cabling contract.
Fixed price, no scope-creep billing
The quote you approve is the amount you pay. Anything extra is quoted and approved by you before a rupee is spent.
Milestone payments, not upfront risk
You pay against delivered stages. If a milestone is not signed off, the next one does not start.
Satisfaction sign-off before handover
Delivery closes only when you have tested it and confirmed it does what the scope said. Fixes inside that scope are free.
Support after the invoice is paid
A defined warranty period, then optional AMC. You call the person who built it — never a ticket queue.
How it runs
From your first message to signed-off delivery.
STEP 01
Site survey
Walk the building, mark drop locations, check routes, ceilings, conduits and power.
STEP 02
Plan & itemised quote
Cabling plan, hardware list with models and warranties, labelling scheme and price per point.
STEP 03

FAQ
Networking & cabling — questions clients ask
How much does office network cabling cost in India?
It is quoted per point after a site survey, because cable route length, ceiling and conduit access, floor count and drops per room change the cost by multiples. A survey costs a fixed fee that is credited against the installation, and it produces a per-point number you can compare against any other quote.
Do you do the physical cabling yourself?
Yes — cabling, dressing, patch panels, labelling and certification. Where you already have an electrical contractor, I can supervise them to the same standard and still issue the test certificates and documentation.
Can you fix an existing network without ripping it out?
Usually. An audit identifies what can be re-terminated, tested and documented versus what genuinely must be re-run. Rebuilding everything is the expensive default answer, and it is often not necessary.
Which networking hardware do you recommend?
Cisco, Ubiquiti UniFi, TP-Link Omada, MikroTik and Fortinet, chosen against your budget, scale and appetite for recurring licence fees. UniFi is the common sweet spot for Indian SMEs; Fortinet where security requirements are stricter.
Why do I need VLANs?
So a compromised camera, guest laptop or unpatched printer cannot reach your accounting machine. A flat network lets every device talk to every other one, which is how most small-business incidents actually spread. Segmentation costs nothing extra at install time and is expensive to retrofit.
Can you improve Wi-Fi without new cabling?
Sometimes — a channel plan, power tuning and roaming configuration fix a surprising number of complaints. But if the access points are in the wrong physical places because that is where cable happened to exist, no amount of configuration will fix the coverage.
Do you provide network AMC or monitoring?
Yes, from around ₹5,000 a month depending on site size — monitoring, configuration changes, firmware updates and a defined response window. It is optional, and the documentation pack means you could hand it to anyone else instead.
Do you work outside Bengaluru?
Yes. On-site cabling, switching and Wi-Fi work is delivered across India, including Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Rourkela, Sambalpur and Bhawanipatna. Design and remote configuration can be done anywhere.
