What is SD-WAN and does my Perth business need it?
SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) intelligently routes traffic across multiple internet connections for reliability and automatic failover. Perth businesses with multiple sites, high Microsoft 365 or Teams usage, or VoIP deployments benefit most — it reduces latency and ensures calls and files stay accessible even when one connection drops.
Why does my Perth office need a business-grade firewall?
A business-grade firewall provides intrusion prevention, DNS filtering, application control and detailed traffic logging that consumer routers simply don't have. These are essential for detecting and blocking the ransomware, phishing and data-exfiltration attempts that target Perth SMBs every day.
Can EvoTech design and install a network for a new Perth office?
Yes. I provide end-to-end network design and installation for new Perth offices — structured cabling, rack build, firewall configuration, managed switch deployment, Wi-Fi installation and optional ongoing managed network support. Hardware is sourced through EvoTech's supply chain at competitive pricing.
How much does business networking cost for a small Perth office?
A basic setup — business-grade firewall/router, managed switch, 2–3 Wi-Fi access points — typically starts from $1,200–$2,500 in hardware plus installation labour, depending on office size and whether cabling is required.

What's the difference between a consumer router and a business firewall?
Consumer routers provide basic NAT and Wi-Fi — nothing more. A business firewall like FortiGate or Meraki MX adds IPS, deep packet inspection, DNS filtering, application-layer controls, site-to-site VPN, VLAN management and full traffic logging. For any Perth business handling client data, this difference is critical.
Can you improve Wi-Fi coverage in my existing Perth office?
Yes. A Wi-Fi site survey identifies dead spots, interference sources and coverage gaps. I design an access point layout that delivers reliable, seamless roaming coverage — and can supplement or replace your existing infrastructure with enterprise-grade Ubiquiti or Cisco Meraki access points.
Do you provide ongoing network support after installation?
Yes. I offer remote network monitoring and management for Perth businesses — 24/7 uptime alerts, firmware updates, security patches and rapid remote response when issues arise. Monthly network health reports are included so you always have visibility over your infrastructure.
Can EvoTech connect multiple Perth office locations?
Yes. I design and manage site-to-site VPN and SD-WAN connectivity between multiple Perth locations — giving staff secure access to shared resources and ensuring your network behaves as a single, well-managed environment regardless of how many sites you operate.
