Wired network backbone
Managed switching with PoE for phones, cameras, access points and door controllers. Sized for what you're adding next year, not just what's in the building today.

Business Networks Built by a Networking Company
A consumer router and a couple of mesh pucks will run a coffee shop for a while. They won't run an office with 40 workstations, VoIP phones, a dozen cameras, a guest network and a conference room that needs to stay on a call. At some point the Wi-Fi drops during the one meeting that matters and the owner starts asking who actually designed this.
AVTech Specialists designs and installs commercial networks across South Bend, Mishawaka, Granger, Elkhart and Southwest Michigan. We come from the IT side, with over 20 years in networking, and we build on Ubiquiti UniFi because it gives a business enterprise-grade control without per-seat license fees.

What we design and install
Business Wi-Fi
Access points placed from a site survey, not guesswork. Ceiling-mounted, wall-mounted and outdoor units where the building needs them. Seamless roaming between APs so a phone call doesn't drop walking from the front desk to the warehouse.
Network segmentation
Separate VLANs for staff, guests, cameras, phones, point-of-sale and IoT devices. A guest on the lobby Wi-Fi should never be able to see your cameras or your server.
Firewall and gateway
UniFi gateways with threat management, content filtering where you want it, and VPN for staff working remotely or connecting between locations.
Internet failover
Primary fiber or cable with a cellular or Starlink backup that takes over automatically. For a business that takes payments or runs on cloud software, this is the difference between an outage and a blip.
Multi-building and multi-site
Fiber between buildings on a campus, point-to-point wireless where trenching isn't practical, and site-to-site VPN so multiple locations behave like one network.
Outdoor and warehouse coverage
High-gain and outdoor-rated access points for parking lots, loading docks, yards and large open floors where consumer gear gives up.
Rack and equipment room
Clean racks, labeled patch panels, UPS power and proper ventilation. We fix the rat's nest while we're there.
Why a designed network beats a box from the office supply store
Coverage that matches the floor plan
We walk the building with survey tools and place access points where signal actually reaches, accounting for walls, metal, glass and ceiling height. The result is coverage you don't think about.
Capacity for the device count
A modern office has three to five network devices per person. Consumer gear tops out fast. Commercial switching and APs are built for density.
One dashboard for the whole system
Network, Wi-Fi, cameras, door access and phones on a single UniFi console. Your office manager can reset a guest password from a phone. Your IT provider can see everything from anywhere.
No surprise license fees
UniFi hardware doesn't carry recurring per-device licensing. For a business with dozens of devices, that's real money every year.
Documentation you own
Network map, IP scheme, VLAN layout, credentials and rack photos handed over at the end. If you ever change vendors, nothing is locked in our heads.
Our process
Site survey
We assess the building, count devices, identify dead zones and look at the current rack and internet service.
Design
A written scope with equipment, placement and a network diagram. We'll explain the choices in plain language.
Installation
Cabling, rack build, switch and AP installation, configuration and segmentation. Scheduled around your hours.
Testing and handoff
Coverage verified with survey tools, failover tested by pulling the plug, documentation delivered and your staff shown the dashboard.
Ongoing support
Remote monitoring and support agreements for businesses that want someone watching the network before users notice a problem.
Recent networking projects
Recent work includes complete UniFi network builds for professional offices, warehouse Wi-Fi with outdoor coverage, multi-building campus networks on fiber, and failover setups for businesses that can't afford an outage. Ask us for references in your industry.

Business networking questions, answered
How is this different from what our internet provider installed?
The provider's equipment gets you online. It isn't designed for your building, your device count or your security needs. We design the network behind it.
Can you work with our IT company?
Yes. We handle the infrastructure, hardware and configuration, and we hand over documentation so your managed IT provider can support it. Many of them refer us for exactly this.
We have Wi-Fi dead zones. Do we need a whole new network?
Not always. Sometimes it's two more access points and a proper survey. We'll tell you what the building actually needs.
Do you install fiber between buildings?
Yes. We run fiber on campuses and multi-building properties, and point-to-point wireless where trenching isn't practical.
What about internet backup?
We install cellular and Starlink failover that switches over automatically. Most businesses don't realize how much they depend on a single connection until it goes down on a Monday.
Is UniFi secure enough for a business?
Yes. Threat management, segmentation, VPN and regular firmware updates. For regulated industries we'll walk through the specifics with you and your compliance contact.
