A network is only as good as the powered equipment routing traffic through it. OTS designs, deploys and supports active networking infrastructure – switches, routers, firewalls, wireless and SD-WAN – built for the connectivity, security and uptime an enterprise network actually needs to run on.

Active networking covers the powered devices that manage, direct and control how data moves through your network – the equipment that has to be configured correctly for everything else to work. Get this layer wrong and even the best cabling in the world won’t save network performance.

Seven capabilities, one accountable team. Whether it’s a single office wired from scratch or a multi-city refresh across branch locations, these are the core services behind every OTS networking engagement.
Reliable switching that connects users, servers, devices and applications without turning into a bottleneck as headcount and device density grow.
Efficient routing that manages traffic between networks, branch offices and data centres, so multi-site businesses stay connected without added latency.
Enterprise-grade Wi-Fi built for secure, consistent connectivity across offices, floors and campuses - sized for real device density, not a single router.
Firewalls and security appliances configured to protect network traffic and business resources from unauthorised access.
Centralised management of network devices, policies and connectivity from a single point, instead of configuring every device individually.
Intelligent WAN connectivity that improves performance, flexibility and cost efficiency across branch offices and cloud environments.
Analyse your existing infrastructure and business requirements.
Develop an architecture based on performance, security and scalability requirements.
Select the appropriate active networking equipment for the environment.
Deploy and configure network devices according to the approved design.

Network architecture built around your performance, security and scalability requirements – not a fixed product list.
Active networking solutions are the powered devices – switches, routers, firewalls, wireless access points, controllers and SD-WAN equipment – that manage, direct and control how data moves across a business network. Unlike passive infrastructure, active devices process and route traffic rather than simply carrying it.
Common active networking devices include switches, routers, firewalls, wireless access points, network controllers, load balancers and SD-WAN appliances. Each plays a different role in moving, securing or managing traffic across the network.
Active networking involves powered devices that manage and direct data traffic, such as switches and routers. Passive networking is the physical infrastructure – cabling, patch panels and racks – that provides the connectivity those devices rely on. A network needs both layers working together.
A network switch connects devices within a network – computers, servers, printers, phones – and directs data between them so traffic reaches the right destination efficiently. As more devices join a network, switching infrastructure is what keeps performance consistent.
A router manages traffic between different networks, such as a local office network and the internet, or between branch offices and a central data centre. Without proper routing, multi-site businesses struggle to keep locations connected reliably.
Firewalls monitor and control incoming and outgoing network traffic based on defined security rules, filtering out unauthorised access attempts before they reach business systems – typically the first line of defence in a layered network security approach.
Yes. Routers, SD-WAN and network controllers can be configured to connect multiple offices, branches and data centres, giving IT teams centralised visibility and control across every location instead of managing each site separately.
Well-designed active networking reduces latency, prevents bottlenecks and keeps applications responsive as usage grows. Centralised management also means issues get identified and resolved faster, reducing the operational impact of network problems.
Yes. OTS handles active networking end to end – from assessment and design through hardware selection, installation, configuration and ongoing monitoring – for new offices and existing environments alike.
Yes. Active networking upgrades can be phased around business operations, replacing ageing switches, routers or firewalls without requiring a full network rebuild, typically planned around an assessment of the current environment first.
From switching and routing to wireless, firewalls and SD-WAN, talk to OTS about active networking infrastructure built around your environment – backed by structured implementation and 24×7 monitoring.
