Richweb has had many business models over the years; network engineering has always been the constant. We design networks, deploy them, and operate them - for businesses with one office and for carriers with regional footprints. Whether you want us to run the network as a subscription, work alongside your team, or come in for a defined project, the work is the same engineering practice underneath.
See how we work at your scale:
Same engineering team and operational tooling - the difference is how much of the work is ours versus yours.
Fully managed subscription. We design, deploy, monitor, and operate the network - hardware, software, and engineering effort roll into one monthly fee. Capacity, refreshes, and upgrades are part of the contract.
You operate the network day-to-day; we plug in for the hard stuff. Architecture review, escalation, change windows, fabric upgrades, vendor escalation, on-call backup. Lighter monthly commitment, no full takeover - good fit for teams that have one or two network engineers and don't want to staff up to handle every spike.
One-time engagements: greenfield builds, Cisco-to-Juniper migrations, campus core migrations, M&A network consolidations, hardware-vendor interop testing, IPv6 readiness audits, layer-2/3 design reviews. Scoped, priced, delivered, handed off.
Networks of all sizes, sized to the customer rather than the data sheet. Common thread: "you don't want to staff a full network team in-house, but you need one."
5 - 100 users in one location. Wireless, switching, firewall, internet circuits, and the policy work to keep all four current. Common for professional services, schools, and SMB.
A handful of offices that need to feel like one network - SD-WAN, site-to-site VPNs, consistent SSIDs, central authentication. Mergers and acquisitions often live here too.
Schools, hospitals, larger corporate campuses. Distribution and core switching, EVPN-VXLAN where it earns its keep, dense wireless with proper RF planning rather than auto-channel-and-pray.
WISPs and fixed-wireless operators who need a managed core and edge. We handle BGP, transit, IP planning, and operations so the team can focus on customer acquisition and tower work.
Regional carriers and broadband providers needing engineering depth without building it internally. MPLS, peering, route policy, PON management, and operational tooling at carrier scale.
Massive enterprise / global campus deployments and tier-1 ISPs - shops at that scale almost always have in-house teams. We're a fit for everyone below that line, which is most of the market.
The kind of work that shows up in our scope of work documents, regardless of engagement model.
Topology design, capacity planning, redundancy, route policy. We document what you'd want to read at 2 AM, not at a sales presentation.
EVPN-VXLAN fabrics, distribution / core / access tiers, dense wireless with proper RF planning, SD-WAN and site-to-site between branches.
WISP and broadband operator launches - core, edge, IP planning, BGP / transit relationships, operational tooling, customer provisioning patterns.
MPLS, BGP, layer-2/3 designs across SP-oriented protocols, packet network DevOps, templating and service upgrade pipelines.
Cisco-to-Juniper migrations, school district campus core migrations, M&A network integration. Scripted, scheduled, with cutover plans we've actually run before.
Partnering with Juniper Unified PON, fully managed ISP delivery from the core down to the OLT / ONT layer for fiber-to-the-home operators.
Address-plan reviews, IPv6 readiness audits, and the cleanup work it takes to migrate without downtime or asymmetric-path surprises.
Lab time with the actual gear before it hits production. We test, document, and tell you what does and doesn't work together.
Management network as a service with Juniper SRX and OpenGear console servers - secure access to your gear when the production network is the problem.
We approach each design vendor-agnostic - picking the right device for each role based on the protocols, features, and interoperability the network actually needs. We test interop in our lab when a deployment calls for it. The result is that certain vendors and tools end up showing up often, but they're never a default.
Our primary routing, switching, and wireless platform. Mist for AP and switch management, EX/QFX for switching, MX for WAN, and SRX on the firewall and edge. Mist Cloud handles day-to-day ops; we use it as a tool, not a marketing centerpiece.
For ISP and carrier customers - Cisco, Arista, Ciena, Ribbon, A10 Networks, Cambium for fixed wireless, and the broader vendor mix used in service provider networks. We pick what fits the design.
Kentik, Ansible, OpenGear out-of-band, and the rest of the operational layer that keeps a managed network sane. We bring it; you don't have to license, host, or learn it.
Some network engagements lean on shared infrastructure underneath - things like a managed edge, CGN, DNS / DHCP, or out-of-band management hosted on our cloud. That sits in HVENS Cloud. The network practice and the cloud practice share an operations team, so a single engagement can cross both without separate handoffs.
