Business Networking Hardware — Switches, Access Points and Routers Supplied by PIP
Cisco, DrayTek, HP/Aruba and Ubiquiti — matched to your environment and deployed by the same team that manages your network. Networking hardware as part of a complete project, not a box drop.
The networking hardware that runs an office
The physical network is a handful of components working together. PIP supplies all of them — matched to the environment and configured as part of a network project, not sold as standalone boxes.
Switches
Connect devices within the network. Managed switches add VLANs, QoS and traffic management for businesses that need to segment and prioritise.
Routers
Connect the business network to the internet and link multiple sites together into one network.
Wireless access points
Reliable WiFi coverage across the premises — the access points that carry day-to-day wireless traffic.
Patch panels
The physical termination points for structured cabling in a server room or comms cabinet — where the network is wired together.
These rarely arrive on their own. Networking hardware supply at PIP is part of a network project — a new office, a refresh, or a coverage upgrade — with the configuration included.
Networking hardware brands PIP supplies
Four vendors cover the range, from a small-office network to a multi-floor building — all sourced through authorised partner channels and matched to the job.
As a Cisco partner, PIP supplies managed switches and routing hardware for medium and larger businesses — VLANs, QoS and enterprise network management, with the depth of Cisco’s feature set and support ecosystem behind it.
Switching, router and WiFi hardware suited to small and medium business — often deployed as part of PIP’s internet services for SMBs, where a simpler, all-in-one approach fits best.
HP switches for new office and premises deployments, and HP/Aruba access points for managed WiFi in medium-business environments — commonly supplied alongside HP desktop and server hardware in a full fitout.
PIP’s preferred platform for WiFi and WiFi mesh — used extensively for complete building wireless coverage, including the public areas of North Sydney office buildings. Access point placement and configuration is handled by PIP’s team.
WiFi mesh and whole-building coverage
Patchy WiFi is one of the most common complaints in any office. It’s usually a coverage-design problem, not a router problem — and it’s a problem PIP solves properly.
PIP designs and installs WiFi mesh networks using Ubiquiti access points, with coverage planned from a site survey through to deployment. A mesh eliminates dead zones — devices roam seamlessly from one access point to the next as people move through the building, with no dropped calls or manual reconnecting.
Whole-building coverage — multi-floor offices including public areas and common spaces — is a genuine PIP speciality. We’ve completed many full-building WiFi projects across North Sydney office buildings, where covering several floors and shared areas reliably is exactly the kind of job consumer gear can’t handle.
“Most WiFi problems in office buildings aren’t router problems — they’re coverage design problems. Access points placed without a site survey, consumer-grade hardware in a commercial environment, or a single AP trying to cover three floors. PIP’s mesh deployments are designed from the floor plan, not improvised.”
— PIP Talk to PIP →Full premises networking, one team
A new office or fitout needs more than hardware — it needs a coordinated deployment. PIP handles the whole premises network, so there’s one team accountable from the cabling to the configuration.
Business networking done properly means every layer lines up: the cabling, the switches, the WiFi and the edge all configured to work together. PIP performs its own structured cabling and patch panel installation as part of full premises rollouts — not handed to a separate contractor — so nothing falls between the gaps.
- Hardware supply — switches, access points, routers and patch panels
- Structured cabling and patch panel installation
- Switch configuration, VLANs and WiFi deployment
- Firewall and router setup for the network edge
The team that deploys the hardware is the same team that manages the network — no handover, no gaps. Ongoing network monitoring and management is handled through PIP’s network services once the network is live.
