Design smarter networks with Hyperspan™
Hyperspan helps consultants, installers, integrators and end users design cleaner, longer-reach network infrastructure with fewer cabinets, fewer active devices and less installation complexity. We can help assess your project and compare a standard Cat6 approach against a Hyperspan-led design.
How we help
We work with customers at pre-sales, planning and design stage to help determine whether Hyperspan can simplify the network layout and reduce infrastructure overhead.
Instead of simply selling cable, we help review how far your devices need to run, where cabinets or telecom rooms are positioned, and whether a cleaner design can be achieved using extended-reach copper.
Typical support includes
- Reviewing your building or site topology
- Assessing target device distances from source
- Comparing standard Cat6 vs Hyperspan design options
- Highlighting where cabinets, extenders or additional hardware may be reduced
- Advising on suitable use cases such as CCTV, Wi-Fi, BMS and campus edge devices
- Helping installers and consultants present a stronger design case to clients
What to send us
The more information you share, the better we can help. Even a simple sketch, floorplan or brief description is enough to start.
Project type
Warehouse, campus, stadium, office, retail, smart building, car park or public realm.
Device types
CCTV, ANPR, access control, Wi-Fi APs, BMS, IoT sensors, signage or edge devices.
Target distances
Approximate run lengths from switch, rack or source cabinet to the end device.
Current constraints
Lack of cabinet space, high enclosure cost, power limitations, difficult routes or retrofit issues.
Useful project inputs
- Floorplans or marked-up drawings
- Number and location of devices
- Preferred cabinet / rack positions
- Power and PoE requirements
- Internal or external installation environment
- Whether the design is new build, refurbishment or expansion
Hyperspan vs standard Cat6 design comparison
One of the most valuable ways we help is by comparing a conventional Cat6 infrastructure layout with a Hyperspan-led alternative.
Standard Cat6 approach
- Limited reach often forces additional cabinets or telecom rooms
- May require intermediate active devices or powered enclosures
- Can increase install complexity and supporting infrastructure
- More hardware may mean more cost, power demand and maintenance points
- Longer sites often become constrained by the 100m channel mindset
Hyperspan approach
- Helps support longer edge runs from source infrastructure
- Can reduce the need for additional cabinets and intermediate hardware
- Supports a cleaner and more centralised network topology
- Can simplify project delivery and improve serviceable area from each rack
- Creates a stronger design option for difficult or distance-challenged installs
| Design consideration | Standard Cat6 | Hyperspan-assisted design |
|---|---|---|
| Long-distance edge devices | Often requires redesign or extra hardware | Can support a cleaner long-run strategy |
| Cabinet count | May increase across large sites | Can often be reduced |
| Installation complexity | More distributed infrastructure | Potentially simpler topology |
| Maintenance / failure points | Higher where more active devices are introduced | Reduced where hardware overhead is lowered |
| Project presentation to end client | Standard approach | Stronger value-engineered alternative |
Where design assistance adds most value
- Large warehouses and industrial facilities
- Campuses with distributed buildings or perimeter assets
- CCTV and ANPR deployments with long external runs
- Wi-Fi projects where AP location is constrained by coverage rather than cable length
- Smart buildings with widely spaced BMS or IoT devices
- Retail, hospitality and commercial spaces with difficult cabinet placement
Why customers ask for help
- Too many cabinets in the initial design
- Distance to devices exceeds normal planning assumptions
- Power and enclosure costs are too high
- Retrofit routes are difficult or expensive
- The client wants a cleaner infrastructure model
- The installer wants a stronger technical proposal
What the outcome can look like
- Fewer telecom rooms or field cabinets
- Reduced active hardware count
- Simplified containment and routing strategy
- Clearer project cost justification
- Improved serviceability from central source locations
- A smarter design conversation with the end customer
How the process works
Send your layout
Share your drawing, distances, device list or initial concept.
We review the topology
We assess device locations, cabinet positions and where standard Cat6 may create inefficiency.
We compare options
We help show where a Hyperspan design may reduce infrastructure overhead.
You build the stronger proposal
Use the comparison to support planning, pricing and customer decision-making.
