Typical Project

Startup Office with 45 Workstations in Zurich

Situation

A growing tech startup in Zurich-West had 45 employees in an open-plan office of 400 m2. The existing WiFi regularly dropped during video calls, especially when many employees were in meetings simultaneously. Onboarding new employees to the network was cumbersome.

Solution

Digital Runners installed a UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra, a Switch Enterprise 48 PoE for the backbone, and 4 U7 Pro Max access points for the high-density environment. Three VLANs separate staff, guests and IoT devices. An additional U7 Pro was placed in the meeting room area. QoS rules prioritise video traffic.

Result

Video calls now run without interruptions, even at full occupancy. New employees are onboarded in 2 minutes via the self-service portal. The network is designed for up to 100 workstations. Investment: approximately CHF 5,200.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many devices can UniFi handle simultaneously in an open-plan office?
A single UniFi WiFi 7 access point can manage over 300 simultaneous connections. For open-plan offices, we recommend multiple high-density APs that automatically distribute bandwidth and load.
Do video conferences work reliably over UniFi WiFi?
Yes. Quality-of-Service (QoS) rules allow video conferencing traffic to be prioritised. Combined with WiFi 6 or WiFi 7, low latency and stable connections are guaranteed.
Can the network grow as we hire more employees?
UniFi is modular. New access points, switches or even locations can be added at any time and managed centrally from a single dashboard – without a complete overhaul.
How fast is installation in an existing office?
Most office installations are completed within 1-2 days. Pre-configuration is done at our premises, so on-site work is limited to mounting hardware and activating the network.
Can employees securely access the company network from home?
Yes. Via the integrated VPN server in the UniFi gateway, employees can establish an encrypted connection to the company network from home or on the go -- just as if they were in the office.
