Networking & IT Infrastructure
Switch sizing, PoE budgets, racks and enterprise Wi-Fi planning.
An enterprise network design begins with three questions: how many devices, how much PoE budget, and how many uplinks. The tools in this category sketch out the year-three load for Cisco / HPE Aruba / Juniper-class deployments — switches, access points, structured cabling and rack footprint.
The PoE budget calculator carries 30% headroom by default and resolves to a specific switch tier (PoE+, PoE++ Type 3 or Type 4), with SKU bands. The rack explorer lets you hover any unit and see what it is and why it is sized the way it is.
02 / In this category
3 tools, sized for
networking & it.
Network & PoE Calculator
Sized to year-three load — switches, Wi-Fi 7 access points, PoE budget, Cat6A run count, project cost. Cisco / HPE Aruba / Juniper-class enterprise gear.
Rack & Architecture Explorer
A reference AV cinema rack, IT/network rack and BMS panel. Hover any unit and we tell you what it does and why it's sized that way. The boring rack that runs the room.
PoE Budget Calculator
PoE-powered device counts in — total watts, switch tier (PoE+ / PoE++ Type 3 / Type 4), and indicative SKU band out. 30% headroom built in.
