NETWORKING

Network Cable Connections

Your network is the backbone of your business. Performance, reliability, and visibility matter—especially as businesses rely more on cloud services, video conferencing, VoIP, and remote access. As a proud UniFi Partner, GCS designs, deploys, and manages wired and wireless networks that scale with your needs and your budget. 

 

UniFi Network Platform – Centralized Control & Visibility 

 

UniFi provides a single, unified management platform that allows GCS to program, monitor, and manage your entire network—from one dashboard. 

 

With UniFi management, GCS has visibility into: 

  • Every switch port 

  • Every connected device 

  • Every wireless client 

  • Network performance and health in real time 

 

This level of insight allows faster troubleshooting, proactive maintenance, and better long-term planning. 

 

UniFi Dream Machine & Fortress Gateways 

 

UniFi gateways form the core of your network, combining routing, security, and management in a single platform. 

 

UniFi Dream Machine (UDM) Line 

  • All-in-one enterprise-grade gateway 

  • Integrated firewall and advanced routing 

  • VLAN support and traffic segmentation 

  • Centralized UniFi network management 

 

UniFi Fortress & Advanced Gateway Units 

  • Designed for higher performance and larger environments 

  • Multiple WAN connections for redundancy and failover 

  • Higher throughput for demanding workloads 

  • Ideal for multi-site or high-availability environments 

 

Multiple WAN Connectivity 

 

UniFi gateways such as the UDM Pro support: 

  • Dual or multiple WAN connections 

  • Automatic failover if one internet connection goes down 

  • Load balancing for improved performance 

 

This ensures business continuity and reduces downtime caused by ISP outages. 

 

UniFi Switching – From Gigabit to Multi-Gig & Beyond 

 

UniFi offers a wide range of enterprise-class switches to support networks of all sizes. 

 

Wired Network Speeds 

  • 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1 GbE) 

  • 2.5 GbE for high-performance desktops and Wi-Fi access points 

  • 10 GbE and higher for servers, storage, and backbone links 

 

Switch Options 

  • Standard gigabit switches 

  • Multi-gig switches for modern workloads 

  • Power over Ethernet (PoE / PoE+) switches 

  • Etherlighting-enabled switches for visual port identification 

  • Aggregation switches for high-speed backbone connectivity 

 

Fiber & SFP+ Support 

  • SFP and SFP+ ports for fiber connectivity 

  • High-speed uplinks between switches 

  • Long-distance and interference-free connections 

 

This flexibility allows GCS to design efficient, future-ready wired networks. 

 

UniFi Wireless – High-Performance Wi-Fi with Mesh Capabilities 

 

UniFi’s wireless lineup delivers enterprise-grade Wi-Fi with seamless roaming and advanced management. 

 

Wireless Features 

  • Wi-Fi access points 

  • High-density coverage for offices, schools, and churches 

  • Seamless roaming between access points 

  • Advanced RF optimization 

 

Wireless Mesh Technology 

 

UniFi access points can: 

  • Wirelessly mesh when cabling is not available 

  • Automatically form optimized wireless paths 

  • Extend coverage without sacrificing performance 

 

This makes UniFi ideal for challenging layouts, older buildings, or temporary expansions. 

 

VLANs, Segmentation & Guest Isolation 

 

Proper network segmentation is critical for security and performance. 

 

Advanced Network Segmentation 

  • VLAN creation and management 

  • Separate networks for staff, servers, guests, cameras, and IoT devices 

  • Traffic isolation between network segments 

 

Guest Networking 

  • Isolated guest Wi-Fi 

  • Captive portals and access controls 

  • Bandwidth limits and usage policies 

 

This protects your internal systems while still providing safe guest access. 

 

UISP – Wireless Point-to-Point & Site Connectivity 

 

For locations where fiber or traditional cabling is not practical, GCS deploys UISP wireless point-to-point solutions. 

 

What UISP Is Used For 

  • Building-to-building connectivity 

  • Campus environments 

  • Remote site networking 

  • High-speed wireless bridges 

 

Benefits of UISP 

  • Long-distance wireless links 

  • High throughput and low latency 

  • Cost-effective alternative to trenching fiber 

  • Centralized monitoring and management 

 

UISP allows GCS to deliver reliable connectivity across distances that traditional cabling cannot economically reach. 

 

Total Network Visibility = Better Support 

 

With UniFi management, GCS can: 

  • See every connected device 

  • Identify which switch port a device is connected to 

  • Monitor bandwidth usage and errors 

  • Troubleshoot issues quickly and accurately 

 

This dramatically reduces downtime and eliminates guesswork during support calls. 

 

Scalable Solutions for Any Size Business 

 

UniFi’s product ecosystem allows GCS to design: 

  • Small office networks 

  • Multi-floor buildings 

  • Multi-site organizations 

  • Campus-style deployments 

 

All while maintaining: 

  • Centralized management 

  • Consistent security policies 

  • Predictable costs 

 

Networking Done Right 

 

From gigabit desktops to multi-gig backbones, wireless mesh to point-to-point links, and simple offices to complex environments—GCS delivers secure, scalable, and fully managed networking built on the UniFi platform. 

 

Your network should be fast, reliable, secure, and visible. 

GCS makes that happen.
