The brief

Shared buildings, private networks.

Five centres across a spread-out region mean the technology has to be remotely manageable. A problem in Kanata cannot wait for a technician to drive from downtown.

Many Ottawa offices have high security expectations, so segmentation and access control matter as much as speed.

Approach

How we built it

  • Network architecture
  • Enterprise Wi-Fi
  • Meeting-room AV
  • Access control integration
  • Structured cabling
  • Ongoing support
01

Remote-first operations

Cloud-managed network and Wi-Fi with monitoring that surfaces issues across all five centres from one view.

02

Security-minded segmentation

Member, guest, staff and building networks isolated, with access control on platforms such as Salto where installed.

03

Room standards

Repeatable meeting-room kits that make support and training simple across sites.
