Data Networking
Reliable data networking is essential for fast, secure and uninterrupted business operations. FlexNet designs, installs and supports high-performance data networking systems that keep your organisation running efficiently.
Our security-cleared engineers handle surveys, design, installation, configuration and testing to ensure your network performs flawlessly from day one. We support offices, warehouses, ports, distribution centres, education facilities and high-security environments across the United Kingdom and internationally.
FlexNet has built a trusted reputation in the data networking industry for technical expertise, complete project ownership and consistently delivering results.
Much of our work comes through recommendations and repeat business, taking us from local projects to international deployments in places like Singapore. We offer the same high-level capabilities as larger providers, but with the care, flexibility and personal service of a smaller, approachable teambuilding strong, long-term relationships with every client.
We have built up an impressive reputation within the data networking industry for our technical skills, our in-depth knowledge, our complete project responsibility, and for quite simply getting the job done!
To date, all our work has come from recommendation and repeat business – this has taken us literally around the world and is a strong testament to the work we do. Keeping our customers satisfied has played a fundamental role in the growth and development of our business and is something we strive for on every single job – small or large, Swindon or Singapore.
We provide the same services as the big boys, but we do so with the mentality, care, attention and flexibility of a smaller company. We are approachable and pride ourselves on forming strong relationships with our clients.
Wireless Networking Solutions
Our wireless networking solutions provide fast, predictable and secure performance across challenging environments. We complete detailed predictive and onsite surveys using advanced tools including Ekahau and iBwave.
These surveys help us define access point locations, signal requirements and environmental challenges before installation begins. Because every building behaves differently, each design must be bespoke. We support small offices, large warehouses, multi-site estates and global deployments using vendors such as Cisco, Meraki, Aruba and Ubiquiti.
We design solutions ranging from single autonomous access points to fully resilient controller or cloud-managed wireless networks. Correct installation is critical to performance. Our installation engineers follow clear design guidance with ongoing support from our wireless specialists. Most configuration and testing is completed in our controlled lab environment to minimise onsite disruption and reduce deployment risks.
During commissioning, we integrate the new wireless system with your existing network and maintain business continuity wherever possible. We complete resilience, coverage and failover testing, followed by a post-deployment verification survey to confirm real-world performance.
Wireless Network Surveys
Accurate wireless surveying is essential for strong network performance. At FlexNet, we offer predictive and onsite surveys to understand signal behaviour, interference sources and access point requirements. Our surveyors use Ekahau Pro, Ekahau Sidekick and iBwave to capture data, validate assumptions and develop precise coverage models.
We use real access points, antennas, tripods and battery packs during onsite surveys to replicate real-world deployment conditions. This ensures access point placement is accurate and consistent with the final installation. Our detailed approach helps prevent common issues such as dead zones, inconsistent roaming and weak performance in critical areas.
Wireless Network Design
Wireless network design requires careful consideration of your network goals, environment and device behaviour. Offices, warehouses, airports and commercial yards each require unique design approaches.
We design solutions using autonomous, controller-managed or cloud-managed architectures that support your operational needs. Our team designs wireless networks containing thousands of access points across diverse sites. We guarantee our designs and provide comprehensive documentation, including coverage maps, survey reports and configuration guidelines.
Wireless Implementation & Installation
Strong wireless performance relies on correct installation. With their wealth of experience FlexNet’s installation engineers understand wireless principles and work closely with our surveyors to ensure accuracy.
We proactively oversee each installation to maintain quality, ensure correct cabling and confirm that mounting points match the design. In cases where clients use multiple contractors, results are often inconsistent.
This is why FlexNet manages the entire wireless solution, allowing us to maintain control and deliver predictable performance. This includes cabling, installation, patching, configuration and commissioning.
Wireless Configuration, Commissioning & Testing
We complete much of the configuration offsite within our lab environment to reduce onsite time and prevent delays. Our engineers pre-stage equipment, validate firmware, apply configurations and complete initial testing before arriving at your site.
During commissioning, we work closely with your team to integrate the new wireless system with your existing infrastructure. In many cases, we maintain 100% uptime during migration by following a structured cutover plan.
After commissioning, we complete connectivity, resilience and failover testing, followed by a detailed wireless verification survey. Our engineers fine-tune the wireless configuration based on real-world coverage using both specialist tools and actual client devices.
Once complete, we provide full handover documentation including survey data, designs, configuration details, coverage maps and warranty information.
Network Design & Planning
We design data networks that support speed, security and long-term scalability. Key considerations include throughput, bandwidth, port requirements, segmentation, routing, authentication and application performance.
We design everything from single-switch networks to multi-campus Layer-3 architectures using methods such as RADIUS and 802.1X authentication. Our vendor-agnostic approach allows us to design solutions for any technical or financial requirement. All designs include clear documentation and continue into installation, commissioning and support.
Configuration, Installation & Migration
Most network configuration is completed offsite to reduce costs, prevent delays and identify faults before deployment. Our engineers install equipment neatly and accurately, removing legacy patching where necessary and documenting all changes.
During migration, we work methodically to minimise downtime. We involve your technical team where required and ensure the transition to new equipment is smooth and controlled.
If you require a warrantied data cabling solution, installed proficiently and managed professionally, let us show you how we do it.
Frequently Asked Questions
