Network Design

UniFi networks designed for Wi-Fi, Protect cameras, and Access doors.

Business network design for Lincoln and Omaha: most small and mid-market networks were built one switch at a time and now resemble an attic. We redesign them around Ubiquiti UniFi — enterprise Wi-Fi, switching, routing, VLAN segmentation, and SD-WAN — documented and operated as part of the managed engagement. The same design carries UniFi Protect cameras and UniFi Access: a camera VLAN, PoE for the cameras, a door hub or door hub mini, and access cards. That physical detail is on the UniFi Protect page. Verkada cloud video security stays available when Command is the better fit.

Capabilities

What we design and operate

  • 01

    Site survey + design

    Heatmap planning for WiFi coverage, switch capacity, PoE budget, cable plant assessment. Documented network design before any equipment ships.
  • 02

    UniFi WiFi 6 / 6E / 7

    Indoor and outdoor access points sized for density and coverage. Multi-SSID with VLAN tagging, WPA3, role-based access, and per-AP monitoring.
  • 03

    Switching + PoE

    UniFi pro and enterprise switches with PoE+ for cameras, phones, and APs. Stackable, redundant, SFP+ uplinks where needed.
  • 04

    Segmentation

    VLANs for admin, staff, guest, camera, IoT, OT — with firewall rules limiting cross-traffic. Guest network isolated by default; camera VLAN can't reach finance laptops.
  • 05

    UniFi Protect and UniFi Access

    When Verkada is not the fit, UniFi cameras record to a UniFi NVR on the camera VLAN, and UniFi Access uses a door hub or door hub mini, NFC access cards, and readers on the same controller. PoE budget is part of this design. The product page is UniFi Protect.
  • 06

    Multi-site + SD-WAN

    UniFi Site Magic or hub-and-spoke VPN for multi-site businesses. Branch sites authenticate and join with a documented runbook.
  • 07

    Failover / dual-WAN edge

    Primary fiber plus backup circuit or cellular path — dual-WAN and SD-WAN failover policies so one cut doesn’t silence phones and cloud apps. See failover internet for the full resilience offering.
  • 08

    Monitoring + documentation

    Continuous health monitoring via SyncroMSP. Network topology, IP allocation, and change log live in your client knowledge base — not a former tech's head.
  • 09

    Network support when Wi-Fi or a switch is down

    Design is half the job. When an Omaha or Lincoln office loses Wi-Fi, a switch, or a VLAN, the same UniFi team troubleshoots it — remote first, on-site when the closet is actually dead. That is network support inside this engagement. There is no separate /network-support page. A workstation or mailbox that is not the network starts at /it-support.

Stack

Ubiquiti is our default for SMB and mid-market. Fortinet handles perimeter and SD-WAN where needed.

Frequently asked

Why Ubiquiti instead of Cisco Meraki or Aruba?+
For most SMB and mid-market environments, Ubiquiti UniFi delivers 80% of enterprise WiFi capability at 20% of the licensing cost — with no annual subscription required to keep it working. For larger or compliance-heavy environments where Meraki or Aruba better fit, we deploy those.
Can you redesign our existing network without ripping everything out?+
Yes. Most engagements run as a phased migration — survey first, design documented, then equipment replaced in maintenance windows over 2–6 weeks depending on size. Business doesn't stop.
Do you handle multi-site VPNs?+
Yes. UniFi Site Magic for simple hub-and-spoke, or Fortinet IPsec VPN for compliance-driven environments. Documented, monitored, and operated under your managed engagement.
Do you design failover / backup internet with the LAN?+
Yes. Dual-WAN and SD-WAN failover sit in the same design as VLANs and PoE. Primary is often ALLO Business fiber via SAINT; backup may be a second circuit or cellular when scoped. See /failover-internet.
Are you a UniFi installer in Lincoln and Omaha?+
Yes. Lincoln (Haymarket through south Lincoln) is ~15–20 minutes from Hickman. Omaha-metro multi-site UniFi — including Bellevue/Papillion satellites — is scheduled on-site. No storefront. /locations/lincoln-ne · /locations/omaha-ne.
Do you install UniFi Protect and Access in Lincoln, NE?+
Yes — when Verkada isn’t the honest fit and the network is already UniFi. Protect cameras and Access doors on the same controller we operate. Haymarket through south Lincoln; Hickman-based, no Lincoln showroom.
Fortinet or UniFi for an Omaha-metro HQ plus warehouse?+
Usually UniFi for switching/Wi-Fi and Fortinet at the perimeter when insurance or a compliance questionnaire asks for a named NGFW. Aksarben/West Omaha HQ plus a Bellevue satellite is the common pattern — one design, suburbs as service area.
Do you provide network support in Omaha?+
Yes — on this page, not a separate network-support URL. Omaha IT network support and IT network support in Omaha mean Wi-Fi, switches, VLANs, and UniFi trouble for a metro office: remote first, then a scheduled I-80 trip when someone has to be in the closet. Bellevue and Papillion are service area, not branch offices. No Omaha storefront. We consult and operate the network; we are not a data-cabling contractor. Workstation and email problems that are not the network are IT support in Omaha at /it-support.
Do you provide network support in Lincoln?+
Yes. Network support in Lincoln is the same Hickman team and this same page. Wi-Fi and switching trouble usually close remote. When the closet needs a person, the drive is typically 15–20 minutes. Computer support — a dead workstation or a mailbox that will not send — is /it-support.

Lincoln & Omaha — how this actually shows up locally

  • Lincoln, NE

    Network support in Lincoln — document the attic, then replace it.

    Haymarket and south-Lincoln offices usually grew one switch at a time. We survey, segment, and modernize from Hickman. Same-day on-site is realistic when the closet needs it. Wi-Fi or a switch down is network support here. Computer support is IT support in Lincoln.

    Lincoln, NE hub

  • Omaha, NE

    Network support in Omaha — HQ and the warehouse.

    Aksarben or West Omaha HQ plus a Bellevue warehouse is the common pattern. One UniFi/Fortinet design — suburbs as service area, not offices. Wi-Fi, switch, or UniFi trouble is network support in Omaha on this page. Workstation and email problems are IT support in Omaha.
