Improving Network Speed, Security, and Cost Efficiency for a Local Real Estate Business

Overview:
TotalScope Technologies helped a local real estate business modernize its technology environment by improving network performance, strengthening security, and reducing ongoing operating costs. The client wanted a more reliable setup for internet, cameras, and phones, along with better privacy and control over their systems.

Challenge:
The business was relying on outdated consumer-grade networking equipment and cable internet, which limited performance and created stability concerns. Their existing phone service was also costly, and their camera system depended on cloud-based subscriptions that added recurring expenses. They needed a more secure, more efficient solution that would support daily operations better.

Solution:
We upgraded the business from cable internet to fiber, improving speed and reliability across internet, cameras, and phones. We also replaced outdated networking gear with new data cabling, an enterprise-grade firewall, PoE switches, and wireless access points to create a more stable and secure infrastructure.

To reduce ongoing phone expenses, we helped the client switch from a cable provider phone service to a VoIP solution, saving the business 30% per year on phone costs. We also installed 12MP 4K local AI cameras that store footage in-house rather than in the cloud, giving the business better privacy and eliminating subscription fees. In addition, TotalScope Technologies took over management of the client’s computers, backups, and antivirus software.

Result:
The client now has a faster and more reliable internet connection, stronger network security, and a lower-cost phone system. The move to fiber improved performance across the building, while the VoIP transition reduced yearly phone expenses by 30%. The new local AI camera system improved privacy and control, and the business now benefits from ongoing IT management that keeps its systems protected and supported.
