Internet & phones in Frankton
When the internet drops, your IT provider and your internet provider shouldn't point at each other. We arrange business fibre, add a backup connection and set up cloud phones, then look after all of it alongside your IT.
Onsite technicians cover Frankton. Most problems are fixed remotely first; when a job needs hands, a technician comes to you.
Internet & phones for Frankton businesses
Frankton, just west of Hamilton's centre, grew around the railway junction and still mixes light industry, trade suppliers, workshops and transport businesses with a local shopping strip, health providers near the hospital and small professional offices.
Older industrial buildings here often have cabling added piecemeal over the decades, and offices attached to workshops cope with dust, vibration and equipment in unsuitable spots. Health-related businesses close to the hospital also need tight control over patient information on laptops and shared computers. Rail and road noise aside, the bigger daily risk is an unmanaged router shared by office and workshop alike.
If you already use Microsoft 365, your phone system can live inside Teams, so calls, chat and meetings are in one place. If you'd rather keep desk phones and a reception console, we set up a hosted system that does that well.
Our Hamilton technicians come to Frankton offices and workshops for cabling, computers and networks, and support staff remotely for everyday issues. Any installation is priced in writing beforehand.
What's included
Number porting
Your existing numbers moved across without losing calls, including 0800 numbers.
Teams calling
Phone numbers inside Microsoft Teams, so staff make and take calls from the app they already use.
Business fibre
The right plan for your address and team size, ordered and installed with your network.
Copper switch-off
If your old lines are being retired, we move alarms, EFTPOS and phones before the deadline.

A second connection on a different network that takes over automatically if fibre fails.
Cloud phone systems
Hosted phone systems with desk phones, mobile apps, call queues, recording and voicemail to email.
Is it right for your Frankton office?
This is a good fit if:
- Your phones still run on copper lines or an old onsite system
- An internet outage would stop your business
- Staff work between home and the office
- You want fewer bills and one number to call when something breaks
How getting started works
- Free IT health check. We look at your devices, accounts, backups and network and tell you what we find, in plain English.
- Clear proposal. A written monthly price per user and a list of any fixes, with nothing hidden.
- Handover. We collect admin access and documentation from your current provider and keep your team working.
- Day-one fixes. Security gaps, failed backups and urgent risks are dealt with first.
Internet & phones in Frankton: questions
Can computers survive in a dusty workshop office?
With the right choices, yes. Sealed or compact computers, a closed comms cabinet and regular cleaning during maintenance visits extend their life. We recommend suitable gear and placement after looking at the space.
Do you support small offices near Waikato Hospital?
Yes. We support health and professional offices around the hospital precinct with onsite visits from Hamilton and remote help, including securing devices that hold patient information.
Do you sell the internet plan or does a provider?
We arrange the plan with a wholesale provider and look after it as part of your IT, so you have one point of contact.
Is Teams calling right for us?
If your staff already live in Teams, usually yes. If you need a reception console, hunt groups or recording rules, a hosted phone system may suit better. We'll explain the trade-offs.
Can we keep our phone numbers?
Yes. Landline and 0800 numbers can be moved to a new system. We manage the port and time the change to avoid missed calls.
How long does the switch take?
Fibre installs depend on the building and provider. Phone system changes are usually done in a week or two once numbers are confirmed.
