The invisible infrastructure of a connected building.
IP networks, Wi-Fi, cabling and equipment racks form the foundation for connected systems. NSB designs them to be reliable, structured and adaptable.
Everything connected depends on what you cannot see.
Performance starts with infrastructure.
An intelligent installation cannot last without a stable network, planned coverage, organised cabling and an architecture suited to building use.
Design the network as a system.
The network is not an afterthought. It is designed alongside the equipment, uses, architectural constraints and foreseeable development of the project.
Wired IP network
Structured Ethernet infrastructure for fixed equipment, building services, interfaces and uses that require stability and performance.
Wi-Fi
Equipment placement planned around spaces, materials, uses and coverage areas to provide consistent connectivity throughout the building.
Racks & patching
Clear organisation of active equipment, patch panels and connections to simplify operation, maintenance and future development.
Segmentation
Logically separate uses and equipment groups where the project architecture requires it, keeping the infrastructure understandable.
Connected equipment
Plan network requirements for Smart Building systems, monitoring, security, audiovisual and other integrated equipment.
Maintenance & development
Document and structure the installation so that future changes do not turn the network into a patchwork of solutions.
Stable. Structured. Clear. Adaptable.
Good infrastructure goes unnoticed day to day. It enables systems to work as intended and remains understandable when maintenance or building changes are needed.
Prioritise a coherent architecture and suitable connections for functions that require reliability.
Organise cabling, patching and equipment to avoid improvised installations.
Identify and document essential components to simplify operation and maintenance.
Plan for extensions and new uses to limit major rework in the future.
From the network core to everyday use.
The network carries communications between building devices. Its design needs a clear logic from the equipment rack to terminals and integrated systems.

Coverage is designed.
A well-positioned access point is better than a succession of devices added later. Placement should be planned around the layout, materials and expected uses.
Integrate connectivity into the architecture.
Planning locations at the design stage reduces aesthetic and technical compromises, organises the necessary power supplies and connections, and keeps the installation discreet.
Connected residence
A single, structured infrastructure can support the home’s digital needs, building services and connected equipment while remaining easy to maintain.
The network is not an optional extra.
It is part of the overall technical architecture and deserves the same attention as the building’s other systems.
The right time to plan the network is before the finishes.
Plan reviews, equipment locations, distribution, system requirements, Wi-Fi coverage, spare capacity and adaptability: NSB can incorporate network planning from the earliest project stages.
Prepare tidy, durable infrastructure for a new build or refurbishment without relying on improvised additions.
Plan plant rooms, routes, equipment and connection points in keeping with the architectural design.
