Networking · Data cabling · Wi-Fi
The network underneath everything else, installed and labelled properly.
Cameras, screens, TV distribution, point of sale and guest Wi-Fi all share the same cabling and switches. Signal Master installs structured data cabling, commercial Wi-Fi and wireless links across Darwin and the NT, with ACMA licensed cablers and documentation you can hand to the next contractor.
What we install
A large share of "the CCTV is playing up" calls we get are really network problems: a cheap switch, unlabelled patching or a wireless link that drops every afternoon storm. We build the network as part of the system, not as an afterthought.
Structured data cabling
Cat6 and Cat6A cabling, patch panels, racks and cable management for new fit-outs and upgrades, tested and labelled.
Commercial Wi-Fi
Designed coverage for venues, hotels and offices, with separate guest and operational networks.
Point-to-point wireless links
Connecting outbuildings, car parks and remote cameras where cabling is impractical.
Network switching and PoE
Switches sized and powered for cameras, access points and displays, in a rack that stays cool in a Darwin comms room.
Fibre and backbone runs
Backbone links between buildings and floors where distance or lightning risk rules out copper.
Documentation
Every rack and outlet labelled, with a port map handed over at completion.
One contractor for the whole system
Because Signal Master installs the cameras, the screens and the TV distribution as well as the network, there is no gap between contractors when something does not work. One call, one team, one set of documentation.
FAQ
Common questions about networking & data cabling
Are your cablers licensed?
Yes. Signal Master technicians are ACMA licensed for cabling work and hold Certificate III qualifications in Telecommunications and/or Digital Reception Technology.
Can you fix an existing network rather than replace it?
Usually. We test and document what is installed, replace the components that are failing or undersized, and clean up the patching. Replacement is quoted only where the cabling itself has failed.
Do you provide internet connections?
No. We install the cabling, switching and Wi-Fi on your side of the connection, and work with your internet provider so it all comes together.
