JJM Networks | Managed IT Services
A neatly cabled comms rack with structured network cabling, the kind of business network infrastructure JJM Networks installs across Cumbria

Reliable network infrastructure for businesses across Cumbria

Bad infrastructure costs you hours every week. We design, install and look after the cabling, switches, Wi-Fi and servers Cumbria's businesses rely on, so the building works the way it's supposed to.

Built to last

The physical foundations your business depends on

Every server, workstation, phone call and file transfer relies on physical network infrastructure. When cabling, switches and Wi-Fi are done right, you never think about them. Done wrong, you think about nothing else.

We design and install network infrastructure for businesses across Cumbria and Dumfries & Galloway. Whether you're fitting out new premises, expanding, or replacing outdated kit, we handle the whole project from site survey through to handover and ongoing management.

We've delivered everything from single-office cabling jobs in Carlisle to full-scale builds for manufacturers, construction firms and farms across the region. For larger projects and specialist server work, we operate nationwide.

In detail

Networks built like they should be

We've been doing this work for twenty years. Here are the seven disciplines that go into a network that lasts, and what each one looks like in practice.

Comms Room & Data Cabinet Fit-Outs

Your comms room is the heart of your network, and we build them properly. From wall-mounted cabinets to full floor-standing server racks, we supply and install the lot: data cabinets, patch panels, cable management, switches, UPS systems and power distribution. Every rack is neatly dressed, clearly labelled and properly documented, ready for handover. If your existing comms room has turned into a bird’s nest of cables, we’ll redesign and rebuild it from scratch.

Includes

  • Wall & floor-standing racks
  • UPS & power distribution
  • Patch panels & cabling
  • Labelling & documentation

Point-to-Point Wireless & Multi-Site Networking

Got multiple buildings that need connecting? We install point-to-point wireless links that bridge sites without the cost of digging trenches for fibre. Using Ubiquiti airMAX and UniFi technology, we’ve connected farms, dairies and industrial estates across rural Cumbria, where physical cables are often impractical. Every building sits on one seamless network with shared security policies and central management, all controlled from our hosted UniFi controller.

Includes

  • Building-to-building bridges
  • Multi-site farm networks
  • Ubiquiti airMAX & UniFi
  • One central controller

Enterprise Wi-Fi & Wireless Networks

Slow Wi-Fi and dead spots cost your team hours every week. We design and install wireless networks using Ubiquiti UniFi access points, backed by professional site surveys that map every corner of your coverage before a device goes on the wall. Every indoor or outdoor access point is PoE-powered and cloud-managed from our hosted controller, so coverage stays seamless across offices, warehouses, hotels, farms and multi-building sites.

Includes

  • Ubiquiti UniFi access points
  • Professional site surveys
  • PoE-powered & cloud-managed
  • Indoor & outdoor coverage

CCTV Modernisation & Smart Surveillance

Most businesses have older CCTV that still works but lacks modern features. Rather than ripping it out, we upgrade your NVR to Ubiquiti UniFi Protect: existing cameras keep working, and you gain remote viewing, smart motion detection, AI analytics, PTZ control and number plate recognition. For new installs, we fit complete PoE UniFi Protect systems on the same network we manage, with every camera accessible from one dashboard.

Includes

  • Legacy system modernisation
  • AI analytics & detection
  • PTZ & plate recognition
  • UniFi Protect PoE cameras

Network Design & Planning

Every infrastructure project starts with a proper design. We survey your premises, understand how your business works, and produce a detailed plan covering cabling routes, switch and access point placement, server room layout, power requirements and timelines. It accounts for future growth, not just today. From there we handle procurement, contractor scheduling, installation, commissioning and testing, with the full documentation pack on handover.

Includes

  • Site surveys & assessments
  • Detailed network diagrams
  • Future-proof designs
  • Handover documentation

Structured Cabling & Fibre Optic Installation

Whether you’re wiring new premises, expanding an existing setup, or replacing ageing cabling on a single site or across many, we project manage the entire installation. We commission Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a and single- or multi-mode fibre, working with local electrical contractors for the runs and containment. Our engineers then terminate, test and certify every line to industry standards, with full test results, cable schedules and documentation on handover.

Includes

  • Cat5e, Cat6 & Cat6a copper
  • Single-mode & multi-mode fibre
  • Full testing & certification
  • Cable schedules & documentation

Managed Infrastructure & Ongoing Support

We don’t just install and walk away. Every Ubiquiti device we deploy across switching, wireless and firewall is added to our hosted UniFi controller, giving real-time visibility and remote management across your entire network. For wider infrastructure and point-to-point links, we use UISP for monitoring and alerting. This means we often know about a problem before you even do, and in many cases we can resolve it remotely without needing a site visit.

Includes

  • Hosted UniFi controller
  • UISP link monitoring
  • Remote troubleshooting
  • Ongoing support contracts

Ongoing care

Hardware maintenance for Cumbria businesses

Once your network's installed, the kit needs looking after. Switches age, access points fail, UPS batteries die quietly until the day the power dips. Our hardware maintenance keeps Cumbria businesses running on the build they paid for.

Vendor liaison and warranty management

We handle Dell, Lenovo, Ubiquiti, Cisco Meraki and HPE warranty claims and RMAs for you. No more spending afternoons on hold.

On-site response across Cumbria

When a switch fails on a Friday afternoon, an engineer is out the door. Configured spare kit held for managed clients.

Lifecycle and refresh planning

We track every piece of warranty cover and flag end-of-life 12 months out so you can budget the replacement, not be surprised by it.

Don't just take our word for it
