Connectivity is now mission‑critical & the stakes have never been higher

Modern organisations depend on fast, secure, and reliable connectivity to keep people productive and customers supported. But with more sites, more devices, more cloud applications, and ever‑rising cyber threats, traditional networks are struggling to keep pace. Slow performance, patchy Wi‑Fi, ageing infrastructure, or gaps in security don’t just cause frustration, they create real business risk.

Your Questions, Answered

Do you provide fully managed networks?

Yes. Lexel provides fully managed LAN, WiFi, WAN and connectivity services.
You can choose between:

Managed Network Services – where Lexel manages your network, and hardware is purchased separately,

or

Network as a Service (NaaS) – where management and hardware are bundled into a single monthly fee.

Will you take over my existing network and manage that?

Yes. We can take over management of your existing network, with the understanding that it will be progressively migrated to Lexel’s technology and design standards within an agreed timeframe. This ensures long‑term performance, security and supportability.

Is the networking hardware included in the managed network costs?

It depends on the service model you choose:

Managed Network Services exclude hardware, which is purchased separately by the customer.
Network as a Service (NaaS) includes both the hardware and ongoing management in a single monthly charge.

Do you offer Software Defined Networking (SDN)?

Yes, most of Lexel’s networking designs are SDN, but they can vary depending upon the customers requirements.

Do you support Zero Trust Networking?

Yes. Lexel supports Zero Trust networking architectures.

Zero Trust does depend on broader aspects of your IT environment (such as identity, device posture, and access controls), and Lexel can work with you to design and implement these elements as part of a wider security strategy.

What is SDN and Zero Trust?

Software‑Defined Networking (SDN) uses software to control and optimise network traffic, often leveraging internet connections instead of traditional private telco circuits.

Zero Trust is a security framework that assumes no user or device is trusted by default. When applied correctly, it significantly improves security, but it does require consistent adoption across your wider IT environment.

What are your preferred managed network hardware brands?

Lexel works across a range of leading enterprise networking platforms, selected based on environment, scale, and operational requirements.

Our experience includes HPE Aruba, Juniper, Cisco, Fortinet, Extreme Networks, Aerohive, and Meraki, alongside other enterprise‑grade platforms where appropriate. Vendor selection is driven by the use case, security requirements, and long‑term supportability — not a one‑size‑fits‑all approach.

Do you support mobile 5G failover?

 Yes. 5G mobile failover is a common component of many Lexel network designs, providing resilience when primary connections are unavailable. 

Do you support Starlink?

Yes, we do support Starlink where other preferable connection types are not available.
