Business networks · Mid-Atlantic & Tri-State
Networks that never let you down.
I’m Sam LaMartina. I build business networks and look after them once they’re in. Cabling, switches, wireless, firewalls, cameras, door access. New buildings and old ones.
You deal with me from the first walkthrough to the last cable test.
What we do
Everything between the wall jack and the internet
Two kinds of work, mostly. Building a network from scratch or fixing one that grew without a plan, and then looking after it monthly for the businesses that want that.
Cabling
Cat6 and Cat6A pulled, terminated on patch panels, tested, and labeled at both ends. Fiber between buildings when the distance calls for it.
MoreSwitching and Wi-Fi
Switches sized to the load, access points placed from a walkthrough of the actual building rather than a floor plan.
MoreFirewalls and segmentation
Guest traffic kept away from your files. Cameras and thermostats kept away from everything. Rules written down so they survive staff turnover.
MoreCameras and door access
Coverage planned around what you need to see, storage sized for the retention you want, badges instead of rekeying after every turnover.
MoreDesign and assessments
For networks that already exist and nobody can fully explain. We map what's installed and tell you what's worth changing.
MoreOngoing support
Monthly contracts for businesses that would rather call one person than manage three vendors.

We’ll put in whatever the job needs
We’re not tied to a brand. Ubiquiti, Cisco, Meraki, Aruba, Fortinet, SonicWall, pfSense, OPNsense — we install and support all of it. If you already run something, we’ll work on it rather than tell you to rip it out.
If you have a preference, you get it. If you don’t, we’ll pick based on the building, the budget, and what you’ll need from it in five years, and we’ll explain the choice in plain terms before you sign anything.
Where it matters, we’ll also tell you when the cheaper option is genuinely fine. That happens more often than you might expect.
What a job usually includes
- WalkthroughIn person, before anything is quoted
- Written scopeModel numbers, drop counts, what it costs
- The installScheduled around your hours, not ours
- TestingEvery run tested, results handed over
- DocumentationDiagrams, IP plan, labeled panels
- AfterYou have my number
Why hire us
One person, start to finish
The person who walks your building is the person who designs the network, pulls the cable, configures the hardware, and answers the phone afterward. Nothing gets handed to a subcontractor you never met.
That limits how many jobs we take at once. It also means when you call about something odd two years later, you’re talking to someone who remembers your building.
Everything gets written down. Diagrams, addressing, what’s plugged into which port. If you ever hire someone else, they can pick it up without calling me.

Things worth writing down
Answers to questions we get asked often enough to type out properly.

Sizing a gateway: what actually decides the model
Most people pick a firewall or gateway off port count. Port count is the least important number on the box. Here's the order we work through instead.

Wi-Fi 7: when it's worth the money and when it isn't
Wi-Fi 7 is a real generational jump. It's also wasted in about half the buildings we walk into. Here's how to work out which one you are.

The wiring closet checklist we work through before calling a job done
You can tell how a network was installed within ten seconds of opening the closet door. This is the list we go through before we hand one over.

Tell us about the building
Square footage, roughly how many people, and what's bothering you about the network now. That's enough to start.
