VLAN-segmented and private point-to-point networks at installation scale — offices, barracks and depots on Wi-Fi 7 tri-band, with a dedicated low-energy layer for IoT sensors.
One installation. Many networks. Zero bleed-through.
A base, campus or district is never one network — it's resident Wi-Fi that must never see the admin VLAN, building controls that must never touch either, and mission systems that answer to their own accreditation. UniQ Network is our design-and-deliver practice for exactly that: VLAN-segmented, multi-layer architectures and private point-to-point links that let a government customer stand up large-scale connectivity — offices, barracks, depots, yards — with the separation enforced in the fabric, not in policy documents.
The separation is physical, the management is one pane.
Anyone can draw VLANs on a whiteboard. Making them hold at installation scale — across hundreds of APs, dozens of closets, barracks blocks and a flightline — is a design discipline: which traffic shares radios, which requires its own SSID or its own antenna, where a VRF ends and an air gap begins.
We design that fabric, quote every component line-by-line, and stage the switching, APs and bridges so each building arrives as a labeled kit. Wi-Fi 7 tri-band access serves people; a deliberately separate low-energy plane serves the sensors — so a $40 leak sensor never shares a broadcast domain with a command network.
▪Multi-layer segmentation — VLAN, VRF, and physical where warranted
▪Wi-Fi 7 tri-band (2.4/5/6 GHz) for density today and headroom tomorrow
▪Dedicated 2.4 GHz low-energy Wi-Fi + BLE plane for IoT
▪TAA-confirmed, §889-screened, staged per building
▪Network switching and cabling in a distribution rack.

Segmented by design
UniQ Network maps traffic classes to enforcement: guest and resident traffic, administrative systems, building controls and mission systems each land in their own segment — VLANs and VRFs as the default tools, physical separation where policy demands it, and deny-by-default routing between segments.
The distinction matters at audit time. A VLAN separates traffic at layer 2 — devices on different VLANs share switches but not broadcast domains. A VRF separates routing at layer 3, so even the paths between networks are distinct. Physical separation removes shared hardware entirely. Flat networks fail audits because a single compromised device can reach everything the network reaches — segmentation turns "trust everyone inside" into an explicit, inspectable list of who may cross which boundary.
▪Enforcement in the fabric, not the AUP
▪Deny-by-default between segments
▪Per-building repeatable kits — closet N looks like closet 3
UniQ Network designs Wi-Fi 7 access with all three bands — 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz — served simultaneously, with multi-link operation (MLO) and wider channels where clients support them. Density is designed from client counts and building construction: barracks rooms, open offices and hangars each set different numbers.
Wi-Fi 7's practical gains are spectrum and aggregation. The 6 GHz band is clean spectrum — no legacy devices contending for it — and Wi-Fi 7 can use channels up to 320 MHz wide there, double Wi-Fi 6E's maximum. MLO lets a client use multiple bands at once instead of choosing one, improving throughput and reliability under load. Those gains pay off where density is high and clients are current; legacy 2.4 and 5 GHz devices are still served, and PoE budgets and uplinks are reconciled before the quote goes firm.
▪6 GHz clean spectrum where density justifies it
▪Designed from client counts and wall construction, not coverage circles
▪Backward-compatible service for legacy 2.4/5 GHz clients
▪PoE budget and uplinks reconciled before the quote goes firm
Leak sensors, water and energy meters, and environmental and occupancy telemetry ride a dedicated 2.4 GHz low-energy Wi-Fi plane or a BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) mesh — never the user WLAN. Gateways are the only crossing point, bridging sensor data into the controls VLAN and nothing else.
Low-energy radio suits battery sensors for physical reasons: 2.4 GHz propagates farther through building materials than 5 or 6 GHz, and low-energy protocols spend most of their life asleep, waking briefly to report a reading — which is how a sensor's battery budget is measured in years rather than weeks. Keeping that plane separate also keeps its security model honest: a $40 sensor never shares a broadcast domain with a command network.
▪Leak, environmental and metering sensors on their own plane
▪BLE mesh or low-energy 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi per site geometry
▪Gateways are the ONLY crossing point into wired segments
Private point-to-point and point-to-multipoint links — licensed or unlicensed spectrum as the site dictates — tie remote buildings, gates, scale houses and yards into the fabric without trenching fiber. Every link is engineered: path and fade budgets calculated, not hoped for, and transport encrypted between endpoints.
The trade-offs are concrete. A point-to-point bridge is a fast, clean backhaul but a single link; point-to-multipoint shares a hub across several sites at lower per-site cost; fiber wins on capacity and longevity where the civil works pay for themselves. We put fiber where it pays and radio where it doesn't, and quote the mounting, grounding and surge protection alongside the radios.
