A modern workplace relies on more than just good Wi-Fi.

Your network is the backbone of every interaction between your people, systems and devices. It powers everything from file syncing and video calls to application access and cybersecurity.

At LeftBrain, we design and install bespoke on-premise network solutions that are reliable, secure and scalable.

Whether you’re a team of ten or a hybrid business with 200 rotating users, we make sure your network enables performance instead of limiting it.

What on-premise networking actually means

On-premise networking is the infrastructure that connects your devices inside the physical workplace.

It includes all the hardware, cabling and software configurations that allow secure communication across floors, departments or buildings.

This includes:

• Routers, switches, firewalls and wireless access points
• Wired and wireless zones with segmented access
• Cabling layouts and cabinet installations
• Software-defined networking for dynamic control
• User access policies and authentication systems
• Prioritised traffic routing for business-critical tools

We build networks to suit your environment, your workload and your growth plans.

Why networking issues slow you down

You don’t need a full network outage to feel the pain. Most problems show up as subtle disruptions, day after day.

We see:

• Poor call quality on Zoom or VOIP platforms
• File uploads failing or taking too long
• Wi-Fi dead spots in high-traffic areas
• Devices disconnecting or reauthenticating constantly
• Public guest access overlapping with internal traffic
• Shared network passwords with no oversight
• Bandwidth spikes slowing everyone down

These are not small inconveniences. They drain productivity and create security risks. You can fix them.

Our approach to networking

We take a structured, consultative approach. We design every solution around your actual setup and business needs — not a pre-built kit list.

Step 1: Discovery and audit

We assess your physical space, user counts, and usage patterns.

We look at how your teams work, what their pain points are, and what level of security and uptime you need.

Step 2: Network design and planning

We map out a tailored network topology, including:

• Wired and wireless coverage
• Device segmentation for staff, guests and IoT
• Traffic shaping for real-time services like video and VOIP
• Switch and router placement based on cable routing and future expansion
• Hardware and software that fits your growth trajectory and budget

We use proven, business-ready tools like Ubiquiti UniFi, Fortinet and Cisco Meraki.

Step 3: Installation and configuration

We install and configure every element of the network, including routers, switches, wireless access points, and structured cabling.

We configure admin access, create isolated networks, and ensure the handover is fully documented.

Step 4: Test, support and optimise

We don’t disappear once it’s installed.

We stay involved to test, tweak and optimise the system — and support your team if anything changes.

Performance and security designed in

A good network doesn’t just connect people. It protects them.

That’s why every setup we build includes security and performance controls from day one.

This includes:

• Prioritising bandwidth for tools like Zoom and Teams
• Limiting social media and file download traffic if needed
• Isolating guest users from your main network
• Using access rules to ensure only the right people reach critical data
• Monitoring bandwidth and spotting risks in real time
• Locking down ports and restricting rogue device access
• Enforcing modern Wi-Fi encryption like WPA3

You don’t need to compromise on performance to stay secure. You can have both.

Who we help

We’ve worked with:

• Creative studios with gigabytes of design files being shared every day
• Tech scaleups with hybrid teams needing fast, stable access
• Offices with complex layouts or historic buildings that make connectivity difficult
• Remote-first teams that still rely on strong base networks for in-office work
• Companies that outgrew their DIY setups and need serious infrastructure

Whether you’re setting up your first real network or rebuilding something that no longer works, we can help.
