What are advanced networks?
Advanced networks are sophisticated communication infrastructures that integrate multiple technologies—structured cabling, fiber optics, high-speed switching, and unified management systems—to deliver reliable, scalable connectivity. These networks support modern business operations including cloud applications, VoIP communications, video conferencing, security systems, and data center operations with optimized performance and minimal downtime.
What is an advanced computer network?
An advanced computer network is a professionally designed and implemented infrastructure that goes beyond basic connectivity to include redundancy, scalability, security integration, and standards-based deployment. It typically features structured cabling systems (Cat6/Cat6A/fiber), managed switches, segmented VLANs, quality of service controls, and proper documentation—all designed to support enterprise-level performance, growth, and reliability.
How long does a typical network cabling installation take?
Installation timelines vary based on project scope. A small office with 20-30 data drops typically takes 2-3 days, while larger deployments spanning multiple floors or buildings may require 1-2 weeks. Data center projects and campus-wide fiber installations can extend to several weeks. We provide detailed project timelines during the consultation phase and work efficiently to minimize business disruption.
Do you provide certification and documentation for your installations?
Yes, absolutely. All our installations include comprehensive testing and certification using industry-standard equipment. You'll receive detailed documentation including cable maps, test results, warranty information, and as-built drawings. This documentation is essential for troubleshooting, future expansions, and maintaining manufacturer warranties on cabling systems.
What's the difference between Cat6, Cat6A, and fiber optic cabling?
Cat6 supports up to 1 Gbps at 100 meters and is suitable for most office applications. Cat6A supports 10 Gbps at 100 meters and is ideal for high-bandwidth environments. Fiber optic cabling supports much higher speeds (10-100+ Gbps) over longer distances and is used for backbone connections, data centers, and campus networks. We'll recommend the appropriate solution based on your performance requirements and budget.
Can you work around our business hours to avoid disruption?
Yes, we routinely schedule installations during evenings, weekends, or planned downtime windows to minimize impact on your operations. Our team is experienced in coordinated deployments and can work with your IT staff to ensure seamless transitions with minimal business interruption.
Do you service both Florida and Georgia?
Yes, Skybox Systems operates throughout Florida and Georgia with headquarters in Jacksonville, Florida and an office in the Atlanta Metro area. We serve businesses, educational institutions, and organizations across both states with the same level of certified expertise and customer service excellence.
What standards and certifications do your technicians hold?
Our team includes Panduit Certified Installers and technicians trained in BICSI, NEC, FOA, EIA, and TIA standards. These certifications ensure that every installation meets industry best practices, manufacturer specifications, and local building codes—providing you with reliable, compliant infrastructure backed by proper training and expertise.
