Managed LAN
Fully Managed LAN services from a single provider - for ease of procurement and management
Benefit from a unified solution
Hughes Network Systems Europe is a specialist in connecting people, places and things. This means we are the ideal choice for designing, delivering and supporting your LAN infrastructure. We understand the importance of providing reliable managed connectivity for the people and things in every building in every location. So whether you need fixed or wireless LAN solutions, we can provide a fully managed LAN service, giving you the confidence that your employees and your customers will have the access they need whenever they need it.
With Hughes Managed LAN services you decide how much support you need and whether we should look after your network companywide as a comprehensive service combined with Hughes Managed WAN, or only in the branch sites where there are no dedicated IT personnel. We can also help you set up new locations quickly and easily – regardless of whether they are in another part of the city or at the other end of the world. We will always keep an eye on your LAN to ensure that it is working optimally.
Comprehensive Managed LAN Services
We provide all the hardware required for your local area network as part of the service package. This includes security devices, switches, and Wi-Fi access points (APs). We procure, take delivery, warehouse, and ship all the necessary hardware to your distributed locations, which means your employees do not have to handle any of the equipment at any point during the supply process. The entire provisioning process is carried out by our own inhouse teams, and specialist logistics companies.
All installation and configuration work necessary to provide the LAN service is carried out by Hughes network and field engineering teams and a network of trained and certified installation technicians. This includes cabling between the LAN switches and APs. To ensure speed, efficiency and your satisfaction, we create an installation specification that sets out exactly what happens when the installer arrives and how the installation is to be performed and verified. Upon completion, all aspects of the installation are documented and posted on the secure ServiceNow customer gateway. If you also require connectivity to the site, this can be provided via the Hughes Managed WAN service.
