Connect: Network Assessments

Independent network assessment before install, so the product isn’t blamed for what the network caused.

Most installation problems are network problems. Connect is the first half of Connect & Protect, CMC’s core methodology. For manufacturers, distributors and integrators working across AV, security, UC and EPOS, a pre-install network assessment removes ambiguity before systems go in, so what is connected performs as designed. CMC provides the independent technical layer that sits alongside your project.

We understand how AV, security and UC systems behave on a network, and we report in the language IT expects, so both sides read the findings the same way.

  • A pre-installation network assessment, carried out before any system is deployed:

    • Network capacity review: bandwidth, latency and throughput

    • VLAN and segmentation requirements

    • Device discovery behaviour

    • Switch architecture and capacity

    • WiFi coverage and interference

    • Multicast and QoS configuration

    • Infrastructure readiness report: clear, actionable recommendations before install begins

    • Protects your margin by reducing call backs

    • Protects your reputation and your client relationship

    • A defensible position with IT departments and contractors

Connect is one half of Connect & Protect. Once systems are live, Protect keeps them secure. To talk about your next project, get in touch.
