Network architecture • Wi-Fi • UniFi

Networks designed for the way your business works.

TechM8 designs and implements wired and wireless networks for Australian businesses—from office upgrades and new sites to Wi-Fi audits, predictive designs and complete UniFi deployments.

Network-first designEkahau Wi-Fi workflowUbiquiti preferred platform

Design first. Hardware second. A network that has a reason.

We start with business requirements, users, applications, sites and risk—not a shopping list of equipment.

01 / ARCHITECTURE

Network design

Practical wired-network architecture for new sites, relocations, upgrades and remediation.

  • LAN, WAN and internet edge
  • VLANs and segmentation
  • Switching, PoE and capacity
  • Documentation and standards
02 / WIRELESS

Wi-Fi audits and solution design

Measured and predictive wireless design using Ekahau tools to reduce guesswork around coverage and capacity.

  • Existing Wi-Fi health checks
  • Predictive coverage modelling
  • Interference and spectrum review
  • Post-install validation
03 / DELIVERY

Implementation and cutover

Coordinated deployment that turns a design into a clean, supportable production network.

  • Configuration and staging
  • Office moves and new sites
  • Testing and handover
  • Ongoing monitoring and support
Our go-to platform

Why we regularly choose Ubiquiti UniFi.

For many small and mid-sized business environments, UniFi gives us a strong combination of capable hardware, centralised management and a consistent experience across gateways, switching and Wi-Fi.

TechM8 designs the environment before selecting models, then configures, documents and supports the complete solution rather than simply supplying boxes.

Preferred, not automatic. Ubiquiti is our usual starting point, but the recommendation still follows the site, performance, security, availability and support requirements.
Cloud gateways

Routing and security edge

Internet connectivity, firewall policy, VPN, traffic visibility and resilient site design.

UniFi switching

Switching and PoE

Right-sized port capacity, PoE budgets, uplinks, VLANs and room for future growth.

UniFi Wi-Fi

Access points

Indoor, outdoor and higher-density options selected from actual coverage and capacity needs.

Site management

One operational view

Centralised configuration, topology visibility, updates and easier multi-site administration.

Wi-Fi should be designed, measured and validated.

Access-point count alone does not produce reliable Wi-Fi. Walls, materials, interference, device density, roaming and application requirements all affect the result.

TechM8 uses Ekahau planning and survey tools to assess current environments, model new designs and validate installations against the intended outcome.

01Predictive designs from floorplans and usage requirements
02On-site surveys for coverage, interference and real conditions
03Remediation plans for slow, unstable or inconsistent Wi-Fi
04Post-install validation and clear reporting

From requirement to validated network.

A repeatable process keeps the design grounded and the cutover controlled.

01 / DISCOVER

Understand

Confirm business needs, applications, users, floorplans, constraints and future growth.

02 / ASSESS

Measure

Audit the current network and, where required, capture real wireless conditions.

03 / DESIGN

Plan

Create the architecture, Wi-Fi design, equipment schedule and implementation approach.

04 / DELIVER

Deploy and validate

Configure, install, test, document and confirm the result against the design.

Clear outputs your team can actually use.

The scope is tailored to the engagement, from a focused Wi-Fi review to an end-to-end multi-site rollout.

Current-state findings

Risks, bottlenecks, configuration gaps and practical priorities.

Network and Wi-Fi design

Architecture, coverage intent, segmentation, switching, PoE and equipment recommendations.

Implementation plan

Staging, dependencies, cutover sequence, testing and rollback considerations.

Documentation and handover

Device records, topology notes, configuration standards and operational recommendations.

Planning a new network—or fixing an old one?

Start with a focused conversation. We will help determine whether you need an audit, an Ekahau Wi-Fi survey, a new design or a complete Ubiquiti implementation.
