About

While under isolation in his apartment with COVID-19 in June of 2020, founder Jeff Ewalt took the opportunity to plan out his own computer networking business. He had designed a network for his current employer, a medium-sized business, which opened him up to the possibility there could be a market for building and working on networks for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Some of the advantages of the network he put in place for that employer included the following:

• The ability to filter web content

• Lower cost for internet service

• An added layer of security at the network level

• A separation of the physical network into multiple “virtual” networks, which gave the option for setting restrictions separately for each virtual network

  • This could be useful for an organization if different groups of users, for example executives and accountants, need access to different network resources

  • This could also be useful if certain groups of users need more restrictions, such as guests

• Increased Wi-Fi accessibility

With all his technical knowledge of computer networking, including a Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA), he made the decision to create a networking business targeted for SMBs. His idea was SMBs could benefit from some of the same technologies large enterprises used, but at costs affordable to them.
