Technical capabilities

How we build managed networks for buildings.

PremiseLayer keeps the homepage simple for owners and managers, but the engineering underneath is structured, documented and designed for long-term operation.

Engineering scope

The technical work behind the managed service.

These capabilities are selected based on the building, risk, budget and support model. The goal is a maintainable network that operators can trust.

Wi-Fi surveys and capacity planning

Coverage planning for rooms, lobbies, restaurants, meeting areas, outdoor spaces, offices and high-density shared zones.

Enterprise access points

Access point placement, roaming behaviour, SSID design, guest portals and performance planning for real building usage.

Managed switching

Switching architecture, uplinks, PoE planning, cabinet layout, port mapping, configuration records and replacement readiness.

Firewall policy

Perimeter policy, outbound rules, remote access requirements, guest isolation and secure boundaries for operational systems.

Network segmentation

Separation for guests, staff, tenants, rooms, CCTV, POS, IPTV, VoIP, IoT and building-management systems.

Internet resilience

ISP coordination, fiber handoff planning, backup circuits, failover behaviour and bandwidth planning for the full property.

VoIP and SIP readiness

Voice-ready network design, handset or PBX connectivity, voice separation, QoS planning and provider coordination.

VPN and remote-user access

Secure access options for tenant teams, managers, vendors or support users who need controlled access into office services.

Monitoring and alerting

Visibility into key network devices, internet links, access points, outages, degraded service and support escalation paths.

Documentation and handover

Network diagrams, addressing plans, asset records, configuration notes, support contacts and operational documentation.

Cabling and cabinet readiness

Cabling reviews, patching standards, rack organisation, switch capacity and pathways for new access points or tenant spaces.

Support processes

Recurring support, incident handling, change records, maintenance planning and clear ownership when something needs fixing.

Equipment approach

Vendor-neutral by design.

PremiseLayer can work with enterprise platforms such as Ruckus, Aruba, Cisco, Fortinet, Ubiquiti and other suitable systems depending on the building, budget, availability and support model.

The decision should follow the design, not the other way around. Equipment is selected to fit coverage, security, monitoring, manageability and long-term support requirements.

Principle Architecture first. Vendor second.

We avoid locking a property into a product before the site survey, operational requirements and support model are understood.

Internet provider model

We coordinate the connection and manage the building layer.

PremiseLayer is not positioned as a basic ISP or a router installer. We can coordinate fiber and internet services with local providers, then design and operate the Wi-Fi, switching, firewall, tenant separation, monitoring and support layer inside the building.
