Network Design & Setup
VLAN segmentation, firewall design, structured cabling, Wi-Fi — networks that scale and survive an audit.
Flat networks with consumer-grade equipment are still the default in many Indian SMEs. They worked at 20 employees; they are a single ransomware-spread vector at 200. AstraCMITS designs and operates business-grade networks: segmented, monitored, documented, and auditable.
Why it matters
The risk of getting this wrong.
A flat network means once one device is compromised, lateral movement to your file servers, finance systems, and ERP takes minutes. Segmentation is the single highest-leverage cyber control.
Compliance frameworks (RBI CSF, DPDPA controls, Schedule M, USFDA) all increasingly require documented network architecture and segmentation evidence.
Production environments (factory floors, hospital wards, hotel guest networks) need physical and logical separation from corporate. Mixing them is operational risk.
Wi-Fi designed by someone walking around with a phone signal-strength app is not coverage planning. Coverage gaps and overlap kill productivity in unexpected ways.
What we deliver
Concrete, accountable deliverables.
VLAN segmentation
Logical separation of users, servers, IoT, guest, OT, and management traffic. Documented inter-VLAN policy enforced at firewall.
Firewall design
Next-gen firewalls with IPS, application control, SSL inspection, geo-blocking. Documented rule base, change-control workflow.
Structured cabling
Cat6A or fibre runs with documented terminations, rack management, labelled patch panels. The cabling outlasts three generations of switches.
Wi-Fi design
Site-survey based AP placement, SSID strategy (corporate / guest / IoT / 802.1x), seamless roaming, captive portal compliance.
Network documentation
L1 cabling diagrams, L2 VLAN maps, L3 routing, IP plan, device inventory. Living documents, updated with every change.
OT / production networks
Specialised design for shop-floor PLCs, MES, SCADA. Segregated from corporate, monitored for OT-specific threats.
How we engage
From discovery to delivery.
Site survey & design
Physical walk-through, application traffic profiling, growth modelling. Outputs: HLD + LLD + bill of materials.
Build & migrate
Phased rollout with documented cut-over plans. Old network kept in parallel until validation passes.
Operate & evolve
Continuous monitoring, capacity reviews, security policy updates, technology refresh planning.
Compliance & frameworks
Industries we serve
Measurable outcomes
Results, not activity.
Lateral-movement risk demonstrably reduced through segmentation.
Network documentation always accurate — auditor-ready.
Wi-Fi coverage / capacity meets actual usage patterns, with growth headroom.
OT and corporate networks separated; compliance evidence on demand.
