The challenges we solve

What's getting in the way for most businesses.

If any of these sound familiar, your environment has gaps worth addressing, and Sentire can help you close them.

Slow wireless costs more in lost productivity

Poor wireless coverage causes more daily frustration and lost work than almost any other infrastructure issue, and it's often ignored.

Network outages cascade

One misconfigured switch or failing uplink can take down entire floors. Without monitoring, the first sign is your staff calling to say nothing works.

No documentation means every fix is archaeology

When engineers change, network knowledge disappears. Troubleshooting without topology maps wastes hours and risks misconfigurations.

WAN failover is an afterthought

Single ISP connections fail without warning. Businesses with no failover route stop operating until the carrier resolves it, on their timeline, not yours.

Network Build

Physical and Wireless Network Infrastructure

Structured cabling, enterprise wireless, and firewall installation delivered by certified engineers, clean, fully documented, and built to support your business for years without being rebuilt.

Structured Cabling

PHYSICAL

Cat6 and fibre installation with professional patch panels, labelling, and documentation. Build clean, certified, future-proof network infrastructure for offices of any size in Nairobi.

  • Cat6 and fibre-optic installation
  • Professional patch panels and labelling
  • Complete network documentation

Enterprise WiFi Deployment

WIRELESS

Site surveys, professional access point placement, and controller configuration for Ubiquiti and Cisco Meraki. Reliable coverage across open-plan offices, multi-floor buildings, and warehouses.

  • Site survey and RF planning
  • Ubiquiti and Cisco Meraki deployment
  • Coverage for offices, warehouses, and multi-floor buildings

Firewall and Network Security

SECURITY

Sophos XGS or Mikrotik firewall installation and configuration with VPN, VLAN segmentation, and traffic policies. Build a secure perimeter that protects your Kenyan business.

  • Sophos XGS and Mikrotik deployment
  • Site-to-site and remote access VPN
  • VLAN segmentation and network isolation

Connectivity & Monitoring

WAN Connectivity and Network Monitoring

Resilient WAN connectivity with automatic failover so your business stays online even when a primary link drops, monitored continuously so issues are caught and resolved before your team notices anything.

WAN and Internet Failover

WAN

Dual-ISP failover with Safaricom fibre plus Airtel or 4G backup. Load balancing and automatic failover so internet outages don't stop your business.

  • Dual-ISP configuration and management
  • Automatic failover in seconds
  • Load balancing across ISP connections

Network Monitoring

MONITORING

24/7 monitoring of switches, routers, access points, and firewalls. Proactive alerts before outages. Monthly network health reports.

  • 24/7 monitoring of all network devices
  • Proactive issue detection and alerting
  • Interface utilisation and performance tracking

Specialist Networks

Regulated and High-Security Network Design

Network architectures for environments where data segregation, audit trails, and regulatory compliance are non-negotiable. Clinical network segmentation with VLAN isolation and documented data-flow maps built for Kenya DPA and healthcare audit requirements.

Healthcare Network Segmentation

COMPLIANCE

Clinical system isolation using VLAN design, keeping EMR and patient data systems on a separate, documented network segment from general staff and guest traffic, with a written configuration record for DPA compliance.

  • Dedicated clinical VLAN for EMR and patient-facing systems
  • Documented network segmentation configuration for DPA audits
  • TP-Link Omada managed switching for VLAN enforcement

HOW WE DELIVER

Three phases from survey to a monitored network.

Site Survey

We assess your existing cabling, power, switching, and wireless coverage. You get a written design and bill of materials before any work starts.

Installation

Our engineers install structured cabling, switches, routers, access points, and patch panels, cleanly, labelled, and fully documented.

Handover & Monitoring

We hand over full network documentation and integrate your infrastructure into our monitoring platform. Issues are caught before your staff notice them.

FAQ

Common questions about Networking & Infrastructure

What networking hardware does Sentire work with?

We design and deploy networks using TP-Link Omada (our primary platform for SME deployments), Cisco, and MikroTik equipment. For Wi-Fi, we use Omada EAP access points with centralised management across single and multi-site deployments. We also take over and support networks built on other enterprise platforms.

How long does a network infrastructure project take?

A standard office network for a 50-person organisation — structured cabling, managed switching, firewall, and Wi-Fi — typically takes five to ten business days from site survey to handover. Larger deployments or multi-site rollouts are scoped and phased per project. We do not start work without a completed site survey and a signed-off design.

What is a managed switch and do we need one?

A managed switch lets you create separate network segments (VLANs) for different types of traffic — staff devices, guest Wi-Fi, VoIP phones, and CCTV cameras each on their own isolated segment. This is a security and performance requirement for any business with more than a handful of devices. Unmanaged switches treat all traffic identically, creating security gaps and performance issues under load.

How does ongoing network monitoring work?

After installation, we monitor your network infrastructure continuously. Switch health, access point uptime, firewall policy, and internet link quality are all monitored from our systems. Firmware updates are applied on a tested schedule. You contact us when something needs attention rather than a vendor support line in another country.

Can Sentire take over management of an existing network?

Yes. We carry out an initial assessment of the existing infrastructure, document what is in place, identify gaps and risks, and agree a remediation and ongoing management plan. We take over management of your existing hardware where appropriate and recommend replacement only where hardware is end-of-life or insufficiently capable.

What documentation do we receive at project handover?

A complete network topology diagram, IP address schema, VLAN and routing policy, firewall ruleset documentation, wireless SSID configuration, and a hardware inventory with warranty expiry dates. This documentation is kept current by Sentire as the network changes.
