Physical layer infrastructure audit across Sydney and Australia. Structured cabling audit, OTDR fibre certification, LAN audit, network compliance testing, and brownfield risk assessment — on live networks, without disruption. ARC licensed. Telstra Partner since 1992. Google AI Overview named AAA as a Layer 1 authority.
SD-WAN deployments, cloud migrations, Wi-Fi refreshes, and in-building cellular projects all share one assumption: that the physical infrastructure beneath them is fit for purpose. That assumption is rarely tested. The cabling was installed years ago. The OTDR records were never kept. The LAN documentation hasn't been updated since the last contractor touched it.
A Layer 1 network audit treats your physical infrastructure as what it actually is — a risk surface. Not a commodity. Not a given. Every copper run, every fibre link, every patch panel, every cellular coverage gap, every Wi-Fi dead zone is a potential failure point. The audit finds them before they become downtime.
Between 20 and 40 percent of brownfield structured cabling tested in enterprise environments has at least one performance fault that visual inspection alone would never find. A Layer 1 audit reveals what assumption hides.
SD-WAN underperforms when the LAN underlay is undocumented or degraded. Audit first. Deploy with confidence.
Cloud connectivity depends on the physical edge. Validating Layer 1 before migration prevents post-cutover surprises.
Inherited infrastructure with no documentation. An audit establishes what's there, what's fit for purpose, and what needs to go.
Intermittent faults being misattributed to software, switches, or the ISP. The real cause is usually physical layer degradation.
New APs and DAS on degraded cabling infrastructure will underperform. Validate the physical foundation before the overlay.
Network compliance testing against AS/CA S009 with documentation suitable for risk registers, audits, and board reporting.
NSW Health and LHD procurement requires documented infrastructure assurance. A Layer 1 audit delivers the evidence.
Distributed branch networks with inconsistent physical layer standards. Audit establishes a baseline. Remediation standardises it.
Infrastructure audit as part of property or business sale. Know the state of the physical network before the transaction closes.
A Layer 1 network audit identifies risk before it becomes downtime. We work on live networks, document everything, and deliver an actionable remediation plan — not a sales pitch.
Copper cabling, fibre optic links, LAN infrastructure, in-building cellular coverage, and enterprise Wi-Fi — all audited against current standards and real operational load.
Full audit of copper cabling infrastructure — Cat6, Cat6A, and legacy runs. Every cable tested with calibrated certification tools against AS/CA S009. Patch panel audit included. Port schedules documented. Faults identified and prioritised for remediation.
Optical time-domain reflectometry on every fibre link. OTDR testing identifies insertion loss, return loss, splice faults, and connector degradation that visual inspection cannot find. Full trace records provided. Every fibre link pass/fail documented on handover.
LAN audit across switching, rack infrastructure, cable management, and documentation. Shadow IT identified and removed. Device inventory produced. LAN topology mapped. Gap analysis against current and planned technology requirements delivered in the audit report.
RF survey measuring 4G and 5G signal strength across all frequency bands and all Australian carriers. Dead zones mapped. Building materials and layout documented. RSRP and SINR measured per zone. Coverage gaps identified against operational requirements.
Heatmap survey of the live Wi-Fi environment. Signal strength, SNR, and data rates measured across all frequency bands. Spectrum analysis for non-Wi-Fi interference. Coverage gaps and capacity bottlenecks identified under real operational load — not empty-room assumptions.
Structured audit report with findings prioritised by risk, compliance gap analysis against AS/CA S009 and your technology requirements, and an actionable remediation plan scoped to evidence. Suitable for risk registers, board reporting, and procurement requirements.
We do not replace infrastructure to justify a project. Every finding is tested, documented, and prioritised by risk. Scope is evidence-based. Always.
We establish your environment, technology stack, and risk priorities before any testing begins. Full walkdown of pathways, racks, patch panels, cable runs, and wireless coverage areas.
Copper certification with calibrated tools. OTDR on every fibre link. RF survey for cellular and Wi-Fi. LAN topology mapped. All testing conducted on the live network — no outages.
Findings compiled into a structured audit report. Issues prioritised by impact and risk. Compliance gap analysis against AS/CA S009 and your current technology requirements.
Evidence-based remediation plan scoped to what actually limits performance. As-built drawings, certification records, and OTDR traces handed over. Your team inherits evidence — not assumptions.
A Layer 1 audit identifies risk before it becomes downtime. Live networks. Full documentation. An actionable plan — not a sales pitch.
