Certified Ubiquiti Partner
We chose Ubiquiti UniFi as our primary infrastructure platform because it delivers enterprise-grade features at a price point that makes sense for small and mid-size businesses. The unified management console gives us — and you — full visibility across every device on your network.
Signs Your Network Infrastructure Needs Attention
You're still running a consumer router or ISP-supplied gateway as your firewall
WiFi dead zones, slow speeds, or dropped connections in parts of your building
No VLAN separation between your security cameras, office computers, and guest WiFi
Outbuildings, warehouses, or second buildings running on long Ethernet cable runs or cellular
Network equipment with no monitoring — you find out about outages when employees complain
Server room or IT closet with unmanaged switches, unlabeled cables, and no UPS
Camera or VoIP system performing poorly due to network congestion or misconfiguration
No documentation of your network — IP addresses, VLANs, and passwords only in someone's head
Our Infrastructure Process
Network Infrastructure for Northern Indiana Businesses
Most small businesses in Northern Indiana are running on network infrastructure that was never properly designed — consumer-grade routers, unmanaged switches, and WiFi access points placed wherever the cable happened to reach. This creates security gaps, performance problems, and support headaches that compound over time.
NexGen Digital Solutions approaches every network infrastructure project with a design-first mentality. Before any hardware ships, we assess your facility, document your requirements, and produce a written network design that specifies exactly what goes where and why. You know what you're getting before installation begins.
As a certified Ubiquiti partner, we specialize in UniFi infrastructure — one of the most capable platforms available for businesses with 5 to 500 users. UniFi gives you enterprise-grade firewalling, managed switching, and WiFi under a single management interface, at a price that makes sense for a regional manufacturer, medical office, or multi-location retail operation.
For facilities where running cable between buildings isn't practical, our point-to-point wireless installations provide gigabit connectivity across parking lots, between adjacent buildings, or to remote outbuildings on large properties — commonly used for farms, rural businesses, and multi-building industrial campuses throughout Marshall, Elkhart, and Kosciusko counties.
Every infrastructure project concludes with complete network documentation: IP addressing scheme, VLAN assignments, switch port mapping, and equipment inventory. That documentation belongs to you — not locked in a vendor portal or a technician's personal notes.
Frequently Asked Questions — Network Infrastructure
Consumer routers from big-box stores are designed for home use — minimal security features, no centralized management, and limited performance under business workloads. Enterprise firewalls provide stateful packet inspection, application-layer filtering, VLAN segmentation, intrusion detection, content filtering, and centralized cloud management. For any business handling customer data, payment processing, or sensitive records, an enterprise firewall isn't optional — it's the foundation of a defensible network.
We do both. As a certified Ubiquiti partner, we supply and install UniFi hardware at competitive pricing. We can also design and install Cisco and Meraki infrastructure. If you've already purchased hardware, we'll install and configure it. Most clients prefer our supply-and-install approach since we handle procurement, warranty, and configuration as a single engagement.
We are a certified Ubiquiti partner and specialize in UniFi firewalls, switches, and access points for small and mid-size business deployments. We also install Cisco and Meraki infrastructure for enterprise environments. For UPS and power protection, we work with APC, CyberPower, and Eaton systems sized to your load requirements.
Yes. Point-to-point (PtP) wireless bridges are ideal when trenching fiber between buildings isn't practical. We design and install licensed and unlicensed PtP links capable of gigabit throughput at distances from 100 feet to several miles. Common applications include connecting a barn to a farmhouse, linking warehouse buildings, or extending network to outbuildings without conduit runs.
Infrastructure is the physical layer — the hardware we design, supply, and install to build your network. Managed IT is the ongoing monitoring, management, and support of that infrastructure after it's in place. Many clients combine both: we build a clean, properly documented network and then manage it under a flat-rate monthly plan. You can also engage us for infrastructure-only if you have in-house IT staff.
Yes. We plan infrastructure replacements to minimize disruption, typically scheduling cutover during off-hours or over a weekend. We document your existing network first, pre-configure replacement hardware off-site, and execute a phased cutover. For most small business environments, the transition takes a few hours and staff arrive the next morning to a fully upgraded network.
Yes. We handle structured rack installation, patch panel termination, cable management, UPS placement and load planning, cooling assessment, and network equipment configuration for server rooms and IT closets. We work alongside your IT team or take full ownership of the build depending on your preference.
