The team is able to conceptualise, design and implement wireless solutions using brands such as Hikvision IP video, Ubiquiti broadband wireless, MikroTik routing, TG-NET data switching hardware, Trendnet SoHo to SMB networking products in both wired and wireless hardware, and Zycoo SMB IP PBX solutions.

“In addition, Switchcom Network Accessories offers a variety of networking utilities and hardware. From network cabling to brackets, poles and installation materials to support the WISP, security and IT installers,” says Keyser.

The company provides its customers with access to extensive product and system certified training at its facilities or on site, depending on customer requirements.
