Networking solutions for business

Network support is reactive. You call when something breaks and a technician fixes it. Managed network services are proactive. Through Cloud Connect’s NOC in your Pocket and Managed IT services, your network is monitored 24/7, patches and firmware updates are applied proactively, and issues are flagged before they cause downtime.

For Perth businesses that depend on always-on connectivity, this approach reduces outages and removes the unpredictability of unplanned repair costs.

Business network costs vary based on the size of your premises, the number of users and devices, and whether cabling is required. Cloud Connect assesses your environment before recommending a solution, ensuring the scope and cost reflect your actual needs.

Cloud Connect’s NOC in your Pocket is a network monitoring tool that provides 24/7 visibility of your network health. It automatically monitors your internet connection, Wi-Fi access points, network switches, internal servers and more.

When something goes wrong, instant alerts are sent directly to your mobile phone so your IT team or managed service provider can act quickly. The service starts with a setup fee of $400, and is available for $99 per month for up to 10 connections, or $199 per month for unlimited connections.

Common signs include slow file transfers, frequent dropouts, Wi-Fi dead zones, devices that are no longer receiving security patches, or a network that was designed for fewer users than you now have.

A Cloud Connect network audit will identify underperforming or unsupported equipment and provide a clear report with recommendations on what needs attention and what can wait.

Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) is now the recommended standard for business environments, offering faster speeds, better performance in high-density areas, and improved efficiency for connected devices. If your access points are more than five years old, they are likely running older standards that cannot keep pace with modern workloads.

Cloud Connect assesses Wi-Fi suitability as part of a network audit and can recommend and deploy the right enterprise-grade hardware for your premises, including solutions from Cisco Meraki and Cambium Networks.

Consumer-grade networking equipment is designed for homes and small numbers of devices. Business networks typically require enterprise-grade firewalls, switches and Wi-Fi access points that provide better security, reliability, monitoring and performance.

Cloud Connect designs and supports business-grade solutions from vendors including Cisco Meraki and Cambium Networks, ensuring your network can scale with your organisation.

Most business networking equipment has a useful lifespan of between five and seven years. Older devices may continue to operate but often stop receiving security updates and may struggle to support modern internet speeds and cloud applications.

Regular audits help identify equipment nearing end-of-life so replacement can be planned before failures occur.

Yes. Cloud Connect regularly assumes support and management of existing business networks throughout Perth and regional Western Australia. The first step is usually a network audit to assess security, performance and documentation before recommendations are made.

Slow Wi-Fi is often caused by factors unrelated to your internet connection, including poor access point placement, network congestion, outdated hardware, interference from nearby devices, or excessive numbers of connected users.

A wireless survey can identify coverage gaps and performance bottlenecks and provide recommendations to improve speed and reliability.

A network audit reviews your firewall, switches, Wi-Fi infrastructure, internet connectivity, network security, hardware lifecycle, performance and documentation.

Cloud Connect provides a report outlining immediate risks, recommended improvements and future upgrade priorities, allowing you to make informed decisions about your IT investment.

Deployment timeframes vary depending on the size of the site, cabling requirements and equipment availability. Smaller sites can often be completed quickly, while larger multi-site deployments may require additional planning and staged implementation.

An initial consultation will determine the most suitable rollout plan.

Yes. Cloud Connect supports organisations throughout Western Australia, including the South West, Goldfields and North West regions. Many services can be delivered remotely, with onsite assistance available when required.

Cloud Connect can design resilient network solutions that include backup internet services such as 5G failover. If the primary connection experiences an outage, traffic can automatically switch to a secondary service to minimise business disruption.
