Structured Cabling, Fiber & AV Coordination

Plan the physical layer behind networks, Wi-Fi, cameras, phones and meeting spaces, with qualified installation partners where required.

What this usually includes

What we can take on

  • Copper and fiber requirements planning
  • Closet, rack and patch-panel documentation
  • Access-point, camera and device drop planning
  • PoE budget and switch-port planning
  • Conference-room and AV technology coordination
  • Digital signage and display connectivity when included in the engagement
  • Vendor / installer coordination and closeout documentation

When clients bring us in

  • A new office or renovation needs technology drops
  • Cameras, APs or phones are being added without cable planning
  • Closets and patch panels are poorly labeled
  • AV and network teams are working from different assumptions

How we handle the work

Orbiwest can own the technology design, network requirements, labeling standards, testing expectations and integration. Electrical, permit, fire-alarm, low-voltage or other regulated installation work is assigned to properly qualified providers where required.

We provide the agreed customer access to the relevant camera, access control, intercom or sensor platforms and document the network, devices and routine administration procedures that matter.
