Regional Network Infrastructure Refresh for a Leading Consulting Firm

Modernizing Middle East multi-office networks by deploying uniform Cisco Wi-Fi 7 networks, achieving 99.9% infrastructure availability across all locations.

Overview

Omnix spearheaded a multi-site regional network infrastructure refresh across several Middle East offices for a prominent global professional services firm. The program modernized legacy wired and wireless environments, introduced cutting-edge connectivity standards, and established a consistent, future-ready workplace experience across diverse regional locations.

The Challenge

The client operated multiple international offices with inconsistent layouts, varying technology room conditions, and fragmented legacy hardware footprints. Existing sites contained aging switching platforms, outdated wireless access points, and mixed cabling conditions that degraded user experience.

Key Challenges:

  • Navigating disparate office sizes, ranging from compact branch spaces to large regional headquarters.
  • Overcoming legacy hardware constraints, varied power arrangements, and mixed cabling qualities.
  • Standardizing infrastructure models across different nations while keeping day-to-day business operations completely undisrupted.
  • Establishing unified network documentation to ensure seamless, long-term operational support.

The Solution

Omnix executed a highly structured, survey-led refresh strategy that combined active hardware upgrades with passive infrastructure optimizations.

  • Wired Infrastructure & Active Switching: Upgraded access and core switching environments using premium Cisco switching platforms and SFPs, alongside systematic switch racking and stacking.
  • Passive Network Refinement: Verified and reused existing high-grade cabling (Cat6/Cat6A) where viable, rerouted clean patch cords, organized server cabinet dressing, and updated port labeling.
  • Next-Generation Wi-Fi 7 Deployment: Conducted physical site validations and predictive heat mapping to deploy advanced Cisco Wi-Fi 7 access points backed by 5-year Meraki Enterprise licensing.
  • Post-Launch Optimization: Performed active post-installation surveys to fine-tune wireless coverage, capacity, and employee roaming performance.
  • Operational Handover Package: Provided a pristine documentation baseline, including technical BoQs, data sheets, as-built High-Level/Low-Level Designs (HLD/LLD), port-mapping profiles, and serial/licensing catalogs.
