Integrated Communications Networks

One network. Every service. Designed, installed and supported by specialists.

Why an ICN?

Over the past 20 years, communications networks in commercial buildings have evolved from simple voice and data systems to encompass BMS, Wi-Fi, CCTV, access control, lighting, energy management, cloud applications and IoT — all on a single converged network. An ICN brings order, efficiency and future-readiness to complex building environments.

Our Approach

We manage the full project lifecycle — from network design and sub-system workshops through to installation, integration, programming and on-going support. Our highly skilled technicians deliver tailored ICN solutions using innovative products and proven methodologies, backed by ISO 9001 certification.

What You Get

A single, converged network supporting data, Wi-Fi, security, CCTV, intercom, access control, BMS, IPTV and more. Decreased hardware costs, improved cyber security, end-to-end management, and a scalable platform that grows with your building's needs — supported by same-day fault response and quarterly maintenance.

Future-Ready Infrastructure

ICNs are the backbone of today's smart buildings and tomorrow's environmental sustainability. A converged network delivers operational savings, tighter security and the flexibility to adopt new technologies as they emerge.

Decreased Hardware

A single converged network dramatically reduces the active hardware, fibre optic and structured cabling components required across a development.

Cyber Security by Design

Increased network integrity with Unified Threat Management, advanced firewall rules, VLAN segmentation and encrypted communications protecting people and assets.

High Availability

Enterprise-grade design with built-in redundancy ensures the network supports your required traffic profile and keeps essential services online.

End-to-End Management

A unified network management platform with diagnostics provides full visibility and control across all connected systems from a single pane of glass.

Scalable & Future-Proof

Built on open IP standards, the ICN platform scales to accommodate new services and technologies over the full life of the development without costly re-cabling.

Converged Services

Unify data, Wi-Fi, security, access control, BMS, voice, CCTV, IPTV, free-to-air TV, intercoms and nurse call systems onto one network.

Our ICN Capabilities

From initial design through to on-going support - we manage every stage of your ICN project.

Network Design

Detailed IP schematics, fibre backbone, VLAN configuration, redundancy and cyber security planning.

Installation

Industrial, commercial and residential ICN installation by experienced, certified technicians.

Cyber Security

Unified Threat Management, advanced firewalls and proactive monitoring to keep your network safe.

On-Going Support

Quarterly maintenance, fault ticketing, same-day response and next-day equipment replacement.

About ICN

What is an Integrated Communications Network?

An ICN or Integrated Communications Network is a network that brings together all IP-based services in a smart building onto one singular network. Rather than running separate, disparate systems for data, security, CCTV, access control, BMS and more, an ICN converges them all — delivering significant cost savings, improved reliability and a platform that supports the full life of the development.

Commercial buildings, retail spaces, educational institutions, aged care facilities and industrial sites are all switching to converged ICNs — not only because it saves them money, but because the platform is future-proof and easy to expand as technology evolves.
