Preventive Maintenance: Keeping Your Network and Security Systems Running Smoothly
In a fast-moving business environment, downtime is more than an inconvenience — it’s lost productivity, lost communication, and sometimes, lost revenue. Whether you’re running an office in Atlanta, a warehouse in Kennesaw, or a healthcare facility in Rome, your network and security systems are critical to daily operations.
At Progressive Cabling, we don’t just install network and security infrastructure — we also provide preventative maintenance services that keep your systems running efficiently, safely, and reliably for years to come.
Why Preventive Maintenance Matters
Your cabling and network systems might be out of sight, but they should never be out of mind. Over time, even the best installations can degrade due to wear, environmental factors, or changing network demands.
Without regular inspections and maintenance, you could experience:
-
Intermittent connectivity issues that slow productivity
-
Degraded cable performance due to dust, vibration, or heat
-
Camera or access control failures at critical times
-
Outdated network hardware that limits speed or security
-
Code compliance risks for older or damaged infrastructure
Preventive maintenance helps identify and fix small issues before they turn into big, expensive problems.
What’s Included in a Network & Security Maintenance Plan
Progressive Cabling offers customizable maintenance services that keep your infrastructure performing at its best.
Here’s what a typical plan includes:
1. Routine System Inspections
We regularly inspect your cabling, connections, and network equipment to ensure everything is secure, clean, and functioning properly. This includes checking for wear, loose terminations, and damaged lines.
2. Performance Testing
We use diagnostic tools to test network speeds, data flow, and signal quality. These tests help detect hidden issues — such as interference or poor connections — that can cause slowdowns or random outages.
3. Security Equipment Checks
For businesses using security cameras, access control systems, or card readers, we verify that each device is powered correctly, recording or logging as expected, and properly integrated with your network.
4. Firmware & Software Updates
Network switches, access points, and security systems all rely on software that needs periodic updating. We ensure firmware and software remain up-to-date to protect against vulnerabilities and compatibility issues.
5. Cable Management & Clean-Up
Messy or tangled cabling can cause confusion and downtime during future upgrades or emergencies. Our team keeps cabling neat, labeled, and organized for easy management and reduced risk of accidental disconnection.
6. Documentation & Reporting
We provide detailed documentation after each visit, outlining maintenance performed, test results, and any recommendations for repairs or upgrades. This transparency helps you plan future investments confidently.
