Betterbox

IT INSTALLATION SERVICES

Installation support through our sister company, Lynx Networks.

Supplying the right equipment is only part of the job. For cabling, wireless networks, cabinets, switching, routing and hardware projects, you also need the work installed, configured and finished properly.

Betterbox can help you move from product supply to practical delivery by connecting your requirement with the installation and technical teams at Lynx Networks. From copper and fibre cabling to cabinet tidy work, wireless surveys, infrastructure design, equipment installation and hardware configuration, we can help you get the job done properly.

When Product Supply Needs Practical Installation

Some IT projects are not solved by simply ordering products online. The equipment may need to be surveyed, specified, installed, tested, patched, configured or integrated into an existing environment. This is where Betterbox and Lynx Networks work well together. Betterbox can help with the product and supply side, while Lynx Networks can support the installation, design and technical delivery where required.

You are planning a cabling project

New desks, offices, classrooms, comms rooms, access points, cameras or network devices may all need reliable copper or fibre cabling installed and tested.

Your WiFi needs improving

Poor coverage, slow speeds, unreliable roaming and growing device counts often need more than a new access point. A proper survey and design helps avoid guesswork.

Your cabinet needs tidying

Messy patching makes faults harder to find, airflow worse and future changes more risky. A tidy cabinet is easier to support and maintain.

Your network needs designing

Switches, VLANs, routing, WiFi, cabinets and cabling all need to work together. Infrastructure-level design helps prevent expensive mistakes.

You need equipment installed

Cabinets, switches, access points, sensors, firewalls, servers or other hardware may need fitting, mounting, patching and connecting correctly.

You need hardware configured

Some products need setup before they are useful, from switches and wireless access points to monitoring devices, firewalls and network appliances.

Installation services we offer

Data Cabling: Copper & Fibre

Professional data cabling gives your network the physical foundation it depends on. Through Lynx Networks, we can support structured copper cabling, fibre optic cabling, cabinet links, office moves, new outlets, comms room upgrades and installation projects of different sizes.

Work can include site surveys, cable route planning, installation, termination, labelling, testing and handover information, depending on the requirement.

New office cabling
Additional network points
Cat6 and Cat6a installations
Fibre links between cabinets or areas
WiFi access point cabling
CCTV, AV or device connectivity
Comms room and cabinet upgrades

Data Cabinet Tidy

A messy cabinet slows everything down. It makes faults harder to trace, creates airflow problems, increases the risk of accidental disconnections and makes future changes more stressful than they need to be.

Through Lynx Networks, we can help tidy, re-patch and improve data cabinets so they are easier to understand, easier to maintain and better prepared for future work.

Overgrown patching
Poor cable management
Unlabelled connections
Hard-to-access equipment
Airflow concerns
Cabinet refreshes
Out-of-hours tidy work

Equipment Installations

Some hardware needs more than delivery. Cabinets, switches, access points, firewalls, monitoring devices, rack equipment, PDUs and other infrastructure products often need fitting, mounting, connecting and checking on site.

Betterbox can help supply the products, while Lynx Networks can support the installation work where appropriate.

Network switches
Wireless access points
Data cabinets
Rack accessories
Firewalls and routers
Comms room equipment
Office and site rollouts

Wireless Networking

A reliable wireless network starts with proper planning. Through Lynx Networks, we can support wireless surveys, access point placement, WiFi design, installation and configuration for organisations that need better coverage, speed, security and manageability.

This is especially useful where the current network has dead spots, unreliable roaming, too many devices, poor performance or no clear design behind it.

Offices and warehouses
Schools and colleges
Hospitality and public spaces
Multi-site wireless networks
Guest WiFi
Cloud-managed wireless systems
WiFi upgrades and refreshes

Network Design

Infrastructure design is about making sure the cabling, switching, routing, wireless and cabinet layout all support the way the organisation actually works.

Betterbox can help customers move from a rough requirement to a more practical plan, with Lynx Networks supporting the technical design where required. This can include cabinet layout, switch planning, wireless coverage, VLAN considerations, hardware selection and future expansion.

New sites
Office moves
Network refreshes
Comms room upgrades
Multi-cabinet environments
WiFi and switching projects
Infrastructure improvement plans

Hardware Configuration

Many infrastructure products need configuration before they are ready to use. Through Lynx Networks, we can support setup and configuration work for suitable network hardware, helping customers avoid the gap between “product delivered” and “product working”.

This can include configuration support for switches, wireless access points, firewalls, monitoring equipment and other network infrastructure devices, depending on the project.

Switch setup
Wireless access point configuration
Firewall or router installation support
VLAN and network settings
Monitoring device setup
Cloud-managed hardware
Pre-installation configuration
