Network Infrastructure Case Study for a KZN Business

ITC Systems redesigned the network for a manufacturing business in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, where unreliable Wi-Fi and inconsistent performance affected daily operations. The project combined managed switches, enterprise wireless access points, structured cabling, network segmentation and an upgraded firewall. It established a more organised network to support office and warehouse activities.

CLIENT PROFILE
Manufacturing business • Durban, KwaZulu-Natal

ENVIRONMENT
Office and warehouse network with wired and wireless access

The Challenge

Employees encountered wireless dead zones and inconsistent access to business systems. Infrastructure had expanded over time without a coordinated design, and insufficient segmentation made the network harder to manage.

The ITC Systems Solution

ITC Systems redesigned the network and deployed managed switching and enterprise access points. Virtual local area networks separated traffic into logical groups, supported by structured cabling and an upgraded firewall. Network cabinets were reorganised to improve maintainability.

Project Outcome

The project created a more manageable network with clearer separation between traffic groups. The revised wireless deployment addressed coverage gaps, while the cabling and switching improvements provided a foundation for future expansion.

Technical Scope Implemented

Enterprise Wi-Fi 6 Access Points & Heatmaps

VLAN Traffic & Department Segmentation

Frequently asked questions

There is no reliable user-to-access-point ratio for every site. Floor plans, building materials, concurrent devices, applications and a wireless survey determine the design.
It separates devices into logical networks. Firewall rules and access controls determine which groups can communicate; VLANs alone do not enforce every security requirement.
Compare surveys using the same required areas, signal and performance criteria. Review roaming, application performance and user experience as well as coverage.
