Your business runs on your network—literally. From keeping your team connected to protecting sensitive data, your firewall, switches, and WiFi aren’t just hardware—they’re your digital backbone. Whether you’re setting up a new location or upgrading your current setup, Microtalk helps you build a fast, secure, and future-ready network that works for you, not against you.
What do I need to build a secure and reliable business network?
If you’re wondering what it takes to build a modern business network, here’s the short list:
- Router / Firewall — Protects your data and manages traffic
- Network Switch — Connects all your wired devices with speed and control
- WiFi Access Point — Gives you fast and secure wireless access
Let’s break each one down so you know what to expect and how Microtalk can help:
1. Routers / Firewalls — Your First Line of Defense
Think of your firewall like a security gate—it keeps intruders out and lets the right traffic through. At Microtalk, we deploy Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs) that go far beyond what a typical firewall or your ISP’s router can do. They inspect, filter, and manage encrypted traffic in real time without slowing down your business.
Using an outdated or low-quality firewall can actually hurt your performance and give you a false sense of protection. NGFWs handle modern threats and bandwidth demands, while features like encrypted traffic analysis and real-time filtering keep your business protected at all times.
We also provide monitoring services and regular updates—because a firewall without up-to-date threat intelligence is like a lock that everyone already has the key to.
2. Network Switches — Keep Everything Wired and Fast
Switches connect your wired devices—computers, printers, phones—and make sure they can talk to each other without lag. Microtalk installs business-grade switches that are built to handle your traffic load with speed and reliability.
Choosing the wrong switch—too small, too basic—can actually create performance bottlenecks and frustrate your team. We help you size and configure the right switch with features like:
- Improved Speed and Reliability — Handles heavy business traffic smoothly
- VLANs — Create virtual segments for better organization and security
- Quality of Service (QoS) — Prioritize voice, video, or mission-critical traffic
- Port-based Security / NAC — Control what devices can connect and from where
3. WiFi Access Points — Fast and Secure Wireless Coverage
Your team expects reliable wireless access everywhere in the office. Microtalk designs and installs WiFi networks with enterprise-grade access points that eliminate dead zones and protect your data over the air.
