Moving Forward.
Adelaide & Melbourne. Nationally capable.
From initial survey through to commissioning and validation, we handle every layer of your network.
Complex multi-AP deployments across challenging RF environments including historical buildings, warehouses, hospitality venues, and outdoor spaces. We solve the wireless problems others walk away from.
Pre-deployment predictive modelling, on-site passive and active RF surveys, and post-deployment validation surveys. Comprehensive heat map analysis delivered as professional documentation.
Full switching infrastructure design and deployment, VLAN architecture, inter-VLAN routing, QoS, and redundancy. From design through to commissioning and as-built documentation.
Design and deployment of pfSense-based firewall and routing solutions. Stateful packet inspection, VPN tunnels, traffic shaping, captive portals, and BYOD segmentation.
802.1x port-based authentication, guest network isolation, BYOD policies, security camera system integration, and network segmentation for OT and IoT environments.
Real-time GPS tracking solutions for fleet management and asset monitoring. Accurate, reliable location data with easy-to-read dashboards and reporting.
Live personnel tracking for tunnels, mines and construction sites. Helmet tags and gateways show who is on site and where, with a muster list that is ready before the alarm goes. Gateway coverage is designed around the precision you actually need, from simple on-site or off-site through to exact-room detail for confined spaces.
Automatic consult timing for hospital departments. Room and patient tags plus an app in the doctor's pocket produce a checkable time record for billing reconciliation, with nothing for clinicians to tap, start or write down.
Discreet, camera-free monitoring for a vulnerable or isolated person living on their own. Room sensors show that their day is going normally and quietly let the people who care know when something looks different. No cameras, no microphones, nothing to charge.
IoT SIM card supply and management for connected devices such as GPS trackers, remote sensors, LoRaWAN gateways, and field equipment. Multi-network SIMs with data plan management, live usage monitoring, and remote provisioning.
End-to-end LoRaWAN network design, gateway placement, and deployment for wide-area IoT applications. From agricultural monitoring and asset tracking across vast properties to smart building and campus sensor networks, we design for real-world RF propagation, not theory.
Visual flow-based automation and data integration using Node-RED. Connect sensors, APIs, databases, and dashboards into powerful automated pipelines, without complex custom code. From simple alert workflows to multi-source data aggregation and real-time processing.
MQTT broker setup and configuration for reliable, lightweight IoT messaging. Whether you need an on-premises Mosquitto broker, a cloud-hosted solution, or a hybrid architecture, we design and secure the messaging backbone your IoT devices depend on.
Custom IoT dashboards that turn raw sensor data into actionable insight. We build and deploy monitoring solutions using Grafana, Node-RED dashboards, and other platforms, giving you live visibility over your devices, thresholds, and operational data from any browser.
Independent assessment of your existing IT and network infrastructure, identifying gaps, risks, and opportunities for improvement. We deliver clear, actionable findings and technology roadmaps that help you plan and prioritise with confidence, whether you're scaling up, tightening security, or just not sure what you've got.
Some jobs need more than a good network. These are the areas where we've built complete solutions, each with its own page explaining exactly how it works.
Predictive modelling before you buy hardware, on-site RF surveys to measure what you've actually got, and validation surveys to prove the fix worked. You get heat maps and a plain-English report, not a shrug and a quote for more access points.
Live tracking for vehicles, trailers, plant and high-value assets on a proper fleet platform. Geofence alerts, trip history, driver reporting and service reminders, all configured around how your business actually runs before you get the login.
Helmet tags and gateways show where every worker and visitor is, live, in the control room and on a supervisor's phone. The muster list is already written before the alarm sounds, sorted deepest first. Built for tunnels, mines and construction sites.
Small tags in each consult room and on each patient wristband, plus an app in the doctor's pocket. The time report is done at the end of the shift, ready to reconcile against billing, instead of being written from memory twelve hours later.
For anyone worried about a vulnerable or isolated person living on their own. Discreet room sensors and a small tag show that their day is going normally, and let you know when it isn't. No cameras, no microphones, and nothing for them to charge or remember.
LoRaWAN network design, IoT SIM supply and management, MQTT brokers, Node-RED automation and live Grafana dashboards. If you need data off something in the field and into something useful, this is the part we do.
Not every RF environment is straightforward. Thick stone walls, metal structures, high-density user loads, outdoor environments. 802 Group has the tools and experience to design and validate wireless networks that genuinely perform.
Floor plan import, AP placement simulation, and coverage prediction before a single cable is run. Saves time, reduces waste, and sets the project up for success.
Passive and active surveys using professional tools to measure real-world signal strength, interference sources, channel utilisation, and SNR across every area of the site.
Detailed signal coverage heat maps showing RSSI, SNR, channel overlap, and interference. Delivered as professional reports for client sign-off and ongoing reference.
Post-installation validation surveys confirm the network meets design specifications and client requirements. Walk-test methodology with documented pass/fail thresholds.
Heritage buildings, underground spaces, high-RF-noise industrial floors, large outdoor venues, and multi-storey deployments. If it's difficult, we've likely done it.
Enterprise authentication with RADIUS integration, BYOD onboarding portals, guest SSID isolation, and captive portal deployment for visitor and public-facing networks.
Identification of co-channel and adjacent-channel interference, rogue AP detection, and optimised channel plans across 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands. Essential for dense environments where spectrum is contested.
Long-range outdoor AP deployment for campus environments, industrial yards, carparks, and open spaces. Includes weatherproof hardware selection, point-to-point bridging, and mesh backhaul design where cabling is not viable.
