A financial institution required a reliable and secure network foundation to support its critical operations at its MIAX location. With strict compliance requirements and a high demand for performance, the firm needed a solution that provided stable connectivity, robust protection, and seamless integration with existing systems. 

1- Regulatory Demands: The organization needed to meet strict security and compliance standards while maintaining efficient operations. 

2- Infrastructure Readiness: The existing cabling and equipment require verification, testing, and optimization before activation. 

3- Performance Requirements: The network had to deliver consistent uptime and fast response for financial transactions and data processing. 

4- Security & Segmentation: The firm required a secure design separating internal systems from external connections. 

NetVoiX provided a structured approach to build a high-performance, secure network environment for the financial institution. The solution combined meticulous physical setup, hardware installation, configuration, and end-to-end testing to ensure operational readiness. 

Physical Setup & Cabling

• Verified all network cable drops at designated work areas for functionality and labeling accuracy. 
• Performed cross-connects between the building’s internet demarcation point and the institution’s patch panel and network rack. 
• Tested and labeled all connections to confirm proper termination and device assignment. 

Network Hardware Installation

• Mounted and installed the network firewall, switches, and computers in secure, climate-controlled locations. 
• Connected uplinks from the service provider to the firewall and distributed LAN connectivity to workstations and printers. 
• Ensured appropriate power, grounding, and airflow for equipment reliability. 

Configuration and Optimization

• Configured WAN and LAN addressing, routing, and DHCP scopes to align with organizational policies. 
• Established firewall policies and access rules for secure internal and external communication. 
• Applied web and traffic filtering policies to enhance security and ensure compliance with internal standards. 
• Segmented traffic for critical devices to improve performance and reduce risk exposure. 

Testing & Validation

• Verified successful connectivity and internet access for workstations and network printers. 
• Tested wireless signal strength and coverage for access points. 
• Validated firewall protections, access rules, and traffic flow to ensure operational integrity. 
• Confirmed device performance, firmware levels, and documentation for client records. 

• Reliable Connectivity: Stable and high-speed connections across all workstations and network devices. 
• Enhanced Security: The implementation of advanced firewall rules and segmentation has reduced exposure to external threats. 
• Operational Readiness: The MIAX office achieved full network functionality with minimal downtime. 
• Compliance Alignment: The infrastructure now supports security and audit requirements for financial operations. 

Through precise planning and execution, NetVoiX delivered a secure, resilient, and compliant network infrastructure tailored to the specific needs of MIAX, a financial institution. The project ensured dependable connectivity, enhanced data protection, and a scalable foundation ready to support future growth and regulatory requirements.
