Professional services deployments
Office networks, structured cabling and managed protection.
What matters when you specify professional services projects
Office deployments are won on the parts of the job nobody photographs: the comms cabinet, the cable management, the patching schedule and the labelling. The published FUSE builds in this sector start there — a structured cabling and comms-cabinet fit-out, then the switching and wireless that sit on top of it — because a tidy, documented passive layer is what makes every later change cheap.
Above the cabling the pattern is consistent: a cloud-managed gateway, switch and access-point family so one dashboard covers the estate, VLAN separation between staff, guest and building services, and enough PoE headroom for the cameras, door readers and building-management endpoints that arrive after handover rather than before it.
The commercial shape matters too. Fit-outs run to a landlord's programme, so availability decides whether second-fix lands on time. FUSE quotes at trade pricing, shows live stock per SKU, and keeps quote and order history against the account so a phased office programme can be released room by room without rebuilding the bill of materials.
Professional services case studies
A building network with clear operational boundaries
Connect building services, corporate systems and contractors while keeping control traffic and maintenance permissions explicit.
An office network with one coherent operating model
Bring security, switching and wireless policy together in a Meraki-managed office design, with explicit licensing and a practical handover.
A recovery service built around the restore
Scope backup, endpoint protection and recovery as an operated service, with workload-specific licensing and evidence that restoration works.
A tidy comms cabinet starts with the outlet plan
Plan office outlets, patching and rack space together, with a traceable cable schedule and room to maintain the installation.

Frequently asked questions
What does a typical office fit-out include?
Structured cabling into a comms cabinet, aggregation and access switching, a cloud-managed gateway, an access-point plan sized on density rather than coverage, and PoE headroom for cameras and door access added later.
Can one supplier cover the passive and active layers?
Yes — FUSE carries cabling, patching and cabinet hardware alongside the switching, wireless and access-control families, so a fit-out does not need a second supplier for the passive side.
