Your network refresh

Faster, steadier Wi-Fi in every room, and your desk phones on a better switch. Nothing changes at anyone's desk.

Prepared by Sam Waters, ATERNA, on October 30, 2026. This quote is valid for 30 days.

What we found

Suite 250 is about 78 by 50 feet and wraps around a central core in an L shape. That is 3,468 usable square feet on the second floor.

Each new access point is rated to cover about 1,500 square feet. So we use three, placed one at the reception end, one by the executive office, and one in the hallway by the copy room. After the install we test the coverage and write it down for you.

How the install goes

Scroll to watch it happen on your floor plan. All of it is part of the 6-hour estimate on site.

Illustrative signal reach. After the install we test coverage throughout the suite and write down what we find.

The rack goes up in the IT room

We stage and configure the gateway and the switch first, then mount the wall rack in your IT room. Both light up.

Part of the 6-hour estimate

Three new cable runs

We pull and terminate three Category 6 runs, about 50 feet each, from the IT room patch panel out to each access point. Your existing wall drops are reused.

Part of the 6-hour estimate

Access points go in the ceiling

One at reception beside the large conference room. One by the executive office. One in the hallway near the other conference room, beside the copy room.

Part of the 6-hour estimate

The Wi-Fi comes on

We set up the controller, the Wi-Fi names, the separate networks, the firewall rules and the guest network. The three access points reach out and overlap.

Part of the 6-hour estimate

Desk phones move over

We move your desk phones onto the new switch, then check call quality and that each phone gets power.

Part of the 6-hour estimate

Cutover, test and write it down

We coordinate the cutover with the Comcast Business fiber install and check the handoff. Then we test the wireless coverage across the suite and document it for you.

Before and after

Drag the handle, or use the left and right arrow keys, to slide between your plan today and the plan with three access points.

We have not measured your current Wi-Fi, so nothing here is a result.

TodayThe plain floor plan with your existing setup. We have not measured it.

AfterThree UniFi U7 Pro access points on the ceiling, and the new gateway and switch rack in the IT room. Tap a puck to see what it is.

Your equipment closet

This is the closet today, and a drawing of how it looks with the rack and hardware in this proposal. Drag the handle, or use the arrow keys.

What you are looking at

Tap a dot on the picture, or a button below, to see what each piece is.

Watch the patch cords straighten out.

The current equipment is taken out of service. Patch cords are supplied for the new equipment. Mounting spot is confirmed on site.

Feel the difference

Three small things to try.

Joined to access point 1

Drag the dot across the plan, or focus it and use the arrow keys. As you move toward another access point, your device hands off to it. You do not have to do anything.

Sized with room to spare

Desk phones and access pointsPlenty of headroom

Illustrative, not to scale400W power budget

ATERNA sized the switch, with its 400-watt power budget, so it handles all of your desk phones and the three access points without strain. There is room left to expand, even if the phone count changes before the install.

That is also room to add cameras or door access later without buying a new switch. Those are not part of this quote.

Firm network

Your computers and files
Your desk phones

kept apart

Guest Wi-Fi

Clients and visitors get online
They never touch firm files

A guest network is a second Wi-Fi name, kept apart from your own. Clients waiting in reception can get online without getting anywhere near your files.

We set it up as part of the install.

Protect your investment: battery backup (UPS)

A recommended add-on. It is not in the quote total. ATERNA would size and price it separately, and it can be added now or any time later.

Protects the new gear. It shields the new gateway and switch from surges and power dips.
Keeps you working through short outages. The network and desk phones stay up for as long as the battery lasts.
Shuts down cleanly. In a long outage the equipment powers off the right way, then restarts on its own.
Small next to what it protects. It is usually a small fraction of the cost of the equipment behind it.
