Case Study: Financial Services Firm

Transforming Wireless & Network Infrastructure

Client Overview

Our client is a regional financial services firm with 50+ employees. Reliable, secure connectivity is critical to their operations and client engagement.

The Challenge

• Poor WiFi connectivity in the main conference room, disrupting video conferencing and streaming.

• Spotty coverage throughout the office impacting productivity.

• Legacy Ubiquiti switch and APs installed by a previous vendor who was no longer accessible — leaving the client locked out of managing their own network.

• Outdated firewall and a PBX with no vendor support adding complexity to upgrades.

The Solution

Kingsbury Network Consulting delivered a comprehensive redesign:

• Conducted a wireless site survey to identify gaps and interference.

• Replaced outdated APs with WiFi 6e Ubiquiti access points for modern, high-performance coverage.

• Installed an additional PoE switch for capacity and scalability.

• Implemented a Ubiquiti Dream Machine to replace the unsupported firewall.

• Redesigned the network with a standardized IP scheme and VLANs for data, VoIP, and management traffic.

• Ensured PBX compatibility with thorough testing and troubleshooting.

• Optimized AP placement for stronger signal (no more hidden above ceiling tiles).

The Results

• Reliable, wall-to-wall coverage: Video conferencing and streaming issues resolved.

• Modernized security & performance: WiFi 6e and VLAN segmentation improved speed and resilience.

• Full visibility & control: Client regained access to manage and expand their network.

• Future-ready design: Documented, scalable infrastructure to support growth.

• Operational efficiency: Seamless integration with Mitel PBX and VoIP systems.
