Industry
Gated infrastructure sites
Utilities, substations, water and pump sites, telecom huts, and remote compounds behind a gate — power is there; backhaul often is not.
Starlink Business
Satellite WAN at the gate or pad
When there is no wire to extend
Remote WAN head-end — Peplink or Starlink, then Cambium PtP to the gate.
Gated infrastructure means power and a fence. It rarely means fiber to the gate house.
These sites are not office parks. They are a building or a pad, a gate, and a perimeter that has to be seen from somewhere an operator can reach. Peplink or Starlink Business lands as a head-end; Cambium point-to-point branches to cameras and access at the far corner.
We design for maintenance access, limited staff, and gear that has to survive outside. NDAA-compliant camera choices where required. We do not run utility construction or high-voltage work — network, cameras, and access design only.

Product lines we spec on these sites.
Peplink
Cellular WAN at the gate or pad
LTE or 5G when cable will not reach
Peplink cellular
LTE or 5G at the gate or pad — you keep the router login after we commission it.
cnWave V2000
V2000
Client at the pole or outbuilding — PoE out for a camera or small switch.
G3 Intercom
UA-G3-Intercom
Video intercom at the door or gate — directory, two-way audio, and unlock through the Access hub.

What we specify
Design for how the site is used day to day.
- 01
Remote WAN head-end
Peplink cellular with InControl handoff, or Starlink Business into a router — then the same PtP design language as an office wall.
- 02
Perimeter and gate coverage
Cameras on approaches, gates, and fence lines — with analytics that reduce noise on an unmanned site.
- 03
Access at the gate
G3 Intercom at the gate call box, mag lock or operator interface, and network over PtP when the gate is far from the building — light scope, not a campus badge program.
Related consulting: door access & intercom, networking & site links, camera systems.
ROI & efficiency
Gated and remote infrastructure
Utilities, pump stations, and telecom huts have power and a fence — not fiber, staff, or patience for copper theft.
- 01
Copper and equipment theft
Remote sites have been hit hard nationwide. Video-verified coverage has dropped break-ins dramatically for utilities — one documented program went from over a hundred incidents to near zero.
- 02
No building, no wire
Peplink or Starlink plus Cambium point-to-point plus cameras is the differentiator when there is nothing to extend from — coverage where infrastructure never existed.
- 03
Priority response
Video-verified alarms get treated as real events — Priority One — instead of ignored nuisance trips.
- 04
Compliance without overbuilding
NERC and similar standards reward documented physical security. Good design avoids expensive over-spec that does not survive maintenance budgets.
