Business Internet & Failover for businesses and homes in North Shore: we come to you, do the job on site and test it with you before we leave.
Network work on the Shore covers office fit-outs in Takapuna, data cabling and Wi-Fi for showrooms and workshops in Wairau Valley, and CCTV for retail and trade premises. Homes on sloping sections often need cabled access points on each level, or a wireless link out to a sleepout or garage office.

Visiting sites in North Shore

We work right across the area, including:
Signs it's time to book

- Staff go home when the internet drops because nothing works
