SOLUTIONS · 03 · CONNECTIVITY

Connect what matters.
Replace what doesn't.

SMB, Enterprise, Higher Ed, Local Gov, and K-12.

/ The Reality

The Reality.

MPLS RENEWAL
  • Contract expiring soon
  • Auto-renewal looming
  • Spend per site unclear
CIRCUIT SPRAWL
  • Multiple carriers, overlapping circuits
  • Some billed but unused
  • Hard to consolidate
SD-WAN? SASE?
  • Every vendor pitching one or both
  • Acronyms, not answers
  • Unclear which fits
/ What we cover

Four pillars engineered for you.

4 pillars

Circuit & Carrier

The physical connections you pay for every month, and the contracts that lock them in. We audit, consolidate, and renegotiate.

  • Multi-carrier circuit aggregation
  • Contract renegotiation & consolidation
  • Physical diversity validation
  • Last-mile design (fiber, DIA, broadband)

SD-WAN & SASE

The overlay that makes the underlay irrelevant. We design for the org you're becoming, not the MPLS contract you're escaping.

  • SD-WAN architecture & vendor selection
  • SASE / SSE rollout, including identity integration
  • Cloud on-ramp & direct peering
  • Branch-in-a-box & thin-edge design

Voice & Collaboration

UCaaS, CCaaS, and the legacy voice infrastructure you're still paying to keep alive. We sunset what you can, integrate what you keep.

  • UCaaS migration (RingCentral / 8x8 / Teams Phone)
  • Contact center architecture & integration
  • SIP trunking & legacy PRI sunset
  • E911 compliance for distributed workforces

Managed Connectivity

When you don't want to run circuits and overlays in-house. A partner-delivered NOC for day-two operations.

  • Managed circuit + carrier monitoring
  • SD-WAN policy & change management
  • 24/7 NOC incident response
  • Telecom expense management
/ Methodology

The EdgeTeam Method.

4 steps
01 Listen

A senior engineer walks through your environment, your last three incidents, and what's on the roadmap.

02 Recommend

We come back with a short, defensible recommendation: two or three options with the trade-offs named in writing. We say which vendor we would pick and why.

03 Design

We validate the design before production. You get a reference architecture, a phased rollout plan, and a bill of materials with lines you can implement or defer. We provide it to your IT team or a deploy partner.

04 Collaborate

This is where your team and ours move from review to ownership. Standing call cadence, shared roadmap. Every decision gets named in writing: vendor, scope, sequencing. Your team owns the design. We don't leave when the project ends.
