Our work

Projects, and how they turned out.

A few projects we're proud of, from a network-wide outage to a 20-tower community network.

Office IT

2 hrs

from total outage to fully restored

A whole network down, traced and fixed within two hours

The situation

A First Nation government lost its entire network at once. Every system was down.

What we did

  • Identified the root cause: an unusual fault in one piece of network equipment
  • Fixed it and brought every system back online

The result

The whole organization was back up and running within two hours.

24/7

managed threat detection and response

A security turnaround for a Lethbridge engineering firm

The situation

A growing engineering firm was running unsupported operating systems, had no local backup, and scored 50% on our first security review.

What we did

  • Rolled out managed threat detection and response, watched 24/7 by a security operations team
  • Added email security, phishing simulations and full-disk encryption
  • Built local and offsite backups with tamper-proof snapshots
  • Wrote a step-by-step disaster-recovery runbook
  • Planned and budgeted the operating-system upgrades

The result

The firm now runs on a single managed plan covering security, support and backup, and reviews its technology with us every quarter.

Connectivity

20

towers in one network

A community internet network for a Southern Alberta First Nation

The situation

More than 1,200 homes across a large rural First Nation had no reliable high-speed internet. The community needed a network of its own.

What we did

  • Designed a 20-tower wireless network with high-speed links between the towers and backup routes built in
  • Planned how the whole network fits together, then set up every tower's equipment from that one plan
  • Built and tested the tower equipment kits in our shop before they went up
  • Coordinated the tower, grounding and project-management partners
  • Wrote the operations manual so the community can run it

The result

Towers are going up in phases. Lessons learned on the first three shop-built towers made every tower after them faster and more predictable.

Connectivity

72

strand fibre ring assessed

A fibre-ring health assessment

The situation

A community's 25-year-old, 72-strand fibre ring connected critical buildings, but nobody knew its condition or even its exact layout.

What we did

  • Organized testing of the fibre with a specialist partner crew
  • Located and photographed the underground fibre vaults, building by building
  • Mapped the real layout, which turned out to be two loops rather than one ring
  • Presented the findings and options to leadership

The result

Most of the fibres we tested had failed. We couldn't schedule enough downtime to test every strand, but by then the answer was clear: the ring was at the end of its life. We gave leadership a rebuild roadmap with a budget range.

Connectivity

Wi-Fi and radio links for a farm site

The situation

A rural agricultural site needed dependable Wi-Fi and network links across its buildings and yard.

What we did

  • Designed the Wi-Fi coverage and the radio links between buildings
  • Installed new poles and radios to reach the outlying buildings
  • Scoped the whole job in a detailed time-and-cost estimate before starting

The result

The site has one network across its buildings and yard, built to the plan agreed up front.

Connectivity

11

radio links

A community safety camera network over radio links

The situation

A community needed safety cameras in locations with no network cabling.

What we did

  • Designed 11 radio links to carry the camera video
  • Worked with a local security partner on the camera installation
  • Kept the camera system separate from the rest of the network

The result

The cameras went where they were needed, including spots that cable couldn't reach.
