What network infrastructure covers
Network infrastructure in the Denver metro is the active closet: racks or wall cabinets, switches, firewalls, PoE budget for cameras and access points, patch fields, and the ISP or WAN handoff. Structured cabling and fiber are separate plant. A municipally licensed Denver general contractor coordinates the project and licensed specialty trades. Cost is project-specific and depends on port count, PoE load, and whether a new rack circuit is needed.

Permits and who coordinates the work
Low-voltage gear alone may not need a building permit; new circuits and hardwired racks typically do. Colorado DORA regulates electrical licensing. Cities and counties license general contractors. Colorado has no statewide general contractor license. Autotelic acts as a municipally licensed Denver general contractor and coordinates licensed specialty trades for network-infrastructure scopes.
text
What buyers should prepare
Existing drop count, PoE device list, closet location, and where the ISP demarc sits.
FAQ
Common questions
How much does WiFi & Network Assessment (Written Report) cost in Highlands Ranch?
$189.
How do I book?
Press Book next to the job, pick a date and a morning (8–12) or afternoon (12–4) window, and pay in full. We confirm within 24 hours or refund you in full.
What's not included?
Hardware and remediation labor are not included.
Who handles network infrastructure permits and licensing?
A municipally licensed Denver general contractor coordinates the project and licensed specialty trades. Colorado has no statewide general contractor license.
Is this the same as structured cabling?
No. Cabling is the homeruns. Network infrastructure is the rack, switching, PoE, and WAN handoff that those cables land on.
Why does PoE budget matter?
Cameras and access points draw power from the switch. Undersized PoE or a hot closet causes drops and thermal shutdown.
What information helps define scope?
Port count, PoE devices, closet photos, ISP demarc, and city or county.
