Network Installation
Wired and wireless networks, configured for business from day one.
A business network is not a hobbyist project. It is the connective tissue every other system depends on. Email, file shares, point-of-sale, IP phones, security cameras, cloud applications, the printer that everybody fights about. When the network is solid, none of that takes any thought. When the network is rough (consumer-grade router shoved in a closet, cables snaking across the ceiling, Wi-Fi that drops in the back conference room) every one of those systems becomes a daily problem.
MCR Business Tech Solutions installs business networks across the Greater Pittsburgh area, Kittanning, and the four-state region we cover. Wired runs, structured cabling, switches, firewalls, access points, the documentation to maintain it. Built once, built right, configured to scale.
We have done network installs in dental offices, manufacturing plants, retail shops, law firms, warehouses, and family-owned operations that have been around for fifty years. The right design depends on the building (concrete walls eat 5GHz signal), the team (accounting needs uninterrupted file-server access; the warehouse needs Wi-Fi to the loading dock), and the budget (commercial-grade does not have to mean enterprise pricing). We design around your situation rather than your situation around a catalog.
Most installations are wired and live in 1-3 days for small offices, 1-2 weeks for larger or multi-floor sites. We schedule around your business hours, document the install at the cable, switch, and IP-plan level, and hand over a network you can actually maintain (or that we maintain for you under managed IT).
What's included
Site Walkthrough & Design
We walk your space, map cable runs, and design coverage based on actual building layout (not assumptions).
Structured Cabling
Cat6 and Cat6a cable runs, terminations, patch panels, and labeled keystone jacks for clean documentation and easy future changes.
Switch & AP Configuration
Managed switch deployment with VLANs, QoS, and PoE for IP phones, cameras, and access points. Centralized AP management for office-wide Wi-Fi.
Firewall Integration
Network installation paired with firewall configuration so security policy is enforced from day one, not retrofitted later.
Documentation
Every install ships with a network diagram, IP plan, and equipment inventory. So when something breaks at 9 PM, the next person in does not have to start from scratch.
Minimal Downtime
We schedule installs around your business hours. Most office setups are wired and live within 1-3 days with zero interruption to your team.
Why businesses choose MCR
Designed for Your Building
We walk the space before recommending hardware. Cable paths, AP placement, and switch sizing match the physical reality of your space (not a generic template).
Commercial-Grade Hardware
We use business-class switches, firewalls, and access points from manufacturers with real warranties and real support, not consumer gear that fails after a year.
Security Built In
Firewall rules, VLANs, and access controls are designed into the network from day one, not retrofitted later when something gets compromised.
Documented
Every install ships with a network diagram, IP plan, and equipment inventory. So when something breaks at 9 PM, the next person in does not have to guess at the wiring.
Getting started
Site Walkthrough
We walk your building, map out cable paths, identify Wi-Fi coverage requirements, and ask questions about how your team actually uses technology day-to-day.
Design & Quote
Network diagram, equipment list, cable runs, IP plan, and itemized quote. You see exactly what is being installed and why before any work starts.
Installation & Cutover
Cabling pulled, equipment configured, services tested, and the network brought live. We schedule the cutover to minimize disruption (often after-hours or weekend for live operations).
Frequently asked questions
How long does a network installation take?
Most small-to-mid-size offices are wired and live within 1-3 days. Larger or multi-floor sites can take 5-10 days. We schedule around your business hours to minimize disruption.
What does a network installation include?
Cable runs, terminations, switch and access point configuration, firewall setup, IP planning, and documentation. We can also handle ISP coordination, VoIP cutover, and integration with existing servers.
Do you do new construction or just retrofits?
Both. New construction is easier because we can plan cable paths during framing. Retrofits in finished spaces require more careful planning but we have done hundreds of them.
What areas do you serve?
Businesses across Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, and New York, with a focus on the Greater Pittsburgh area, Kittanning, Armstrong County, Butler County, Allegheny County, and Westmoreland County.
