Networking Services
Home Network Security
For home networks we offer a basic review for online safety, secure Wi-fi, and network protection with a walkthrough of your current system. We will discuss what is possible within the boundaries of your current hardware and software. If your needs exceed those boundaries, then we can plan a new system that has the capabilities you need and matches your budget.
Business and Homeschool Internet Safety
For business level networks we also will perform a basic review and hygiene walkthrough of your current system. We will review your business requirements and ensure that your system is meeting them. Then we can perform an audit to ensure you are meeting all of your regulatory and compliance needs for:
- FERPA - Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
- HIPPA - Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
- COPPA - Children's Online Privacy Protection Act
- Consumer Protections
Note: Some business grade equipment "just works out of the box." but does not offer baseline protection without some configuration.
Network Planning and Mapping
We will work with you to product a plan, document it and set that plan into motion. Once complete you can order a network map of your system to better visualize and review your system on your own time. This also serves as a starting point for us if we need to revisit anything for your system after 90 days.
System Analysis and Audits
We can provide purely an audit or review of your system upon request. If you are a driven home lab builder and just want an extra set of eyes on your topology, we can help with that for a small fee.

Network Segregation
Internet of Things (IoT) devices are one of the most vulnerable attack vectors in homes and in industrial applications. Keep not entirely trustworthy IoT devices on a separate Virtual Network (VLAN). Keeping the easily hackable and rarely updated devices out of the same network you keep your family's personal data connected to.
Hi-Fi Audio

We can also design and build custom systems that minimize jitter, electromagnetic interference and maximize your listening enjoyment with pure unadulterated sound. We work from the fundamentals and are able to integrate with any:

Network Streaming Isolation
For ensuring your streaming service takes top priority on the network, for limiting connection or bandwidth issues to your system while in use.
