CIP by CtrlAtlas Inc. / Division 27
Network Infrastructure & Commercial Wi-Fi
CIP connects the physical network to the needs of the people operating it. We coordinate racks, switching, routers and access-point deployment with owners and IT teams during fit-outs, expansions and technology refreshes.
Request installation pricingInstallation scope
- Racks, cabinets and cable management
- Switches, routers and access-point installation
- Business Wi-Fi deployment and coverage troubleshooting
- Network cleanup and agreed integration and handover tasks
What to include in your package
Share floor plans, device counts, intended coverage, existing equipment and IT standards. Configuration access, licensing, connectivity dependencies and responsibility for managed services are confirmed separately.
For new construction, renovations, expansions and technology upgrades across Southern Ontario. Scope and availability are confirmed before a bid is accepted.
How it works
Access-point placement is driven by coverage area, expected device density and physical interference such as metal shelving, coolers or concrete walls, which makes warehouses, restaurants and retail floors meaningfully different design problems from a typical office. PoE switching lets access points, cameras and some phones draw power over the same cable as their data connection, simplifying installation and reducing the need for separate electrical runs. CIP installs and cleans up network racks, labels and tests ports, and coordinates AP and switch placement with the structured-cabling plan so the physical network and the wireless coverage are designed together rather than as separate afterthoughts.
Where this applies
- Offices and multi-tenant commercial space
- Retail floors and restaurants
- Warehouses and distribution facilities
- Multi-site businesses standardizing network equipment
Does a Division 27 installation include ongoing IT management?
Not automatically. The installation scope and ongoing support are different responsibilities. CIP coordinates physical deployment and agreed integration with the owner or IT provider.
Division 27 communications and contractor project supportFrequently asked questions
What is involved in a commercial Wi-Fi installation?
Access-point placement based on coverage, device density and interference, PoE switching to power the APs, and cabling back to the network rack. Configuration is coordinated with the owner or IT provider.
How many access points does a space need?
This depends on square footage, construction materials, ceiling height and how many devices need to connect at once. CIP reviews the floor plan and intended use before recommending a layout.
Does CIP provide ongoing network management?
Installation and configuration coordination are part of the standard scope; ongoing managed IT support is a separate responsibility, typically owned by the client or their IT provider.
Can existing network equipment be reused?
Often, yes. Existing racks, switches or access points are reviewed during scope confirmation to determine what can stay in service versus what needs replacement.
Do you handle high-density environments like restaurants or retail?
Yes. These environments have different coverage and interference considerations than a standard office, which is accounted for during the design review.
Can network cabling and Wi-Fi be installed together?
Yes. Structured cabling and Wi-Fi deployment are commonly coordinated as one project so pathways, racks and access-point cabling are planned together.
