The Network Your Phones, Cameras, and Doors All Depend On
Every system you run, the phones, the security cameras, the access control, the IP paging, rides on the cabling and network underneath it. When that backbone is designed right, you never think about it. When it is not, you chase intermittent failures that nobody can pin down, and every vendor blames the other one. Structured cabling and sound network engineering are how a multi-campus district or a county facility keeps a thousand devices online without the building fighting back.
True IP Solutions designs and installs structured cabling and LAN/WAN networks for K-12 districts, county and local government, healthcare facilities, and multi-site businesses across North Carolina. Because we also install the phones, cameras, and door access that run on top, we engineer the network to carry all of it from day one, not patch it together after the fact.
Structured Cabling Done for Your Building, Not a Template
There is no one-size cabling plan. A 1960s brick elementary school, a new county annex, and a three-story medical office each demand a different design. Before we pull a single cable, we account for:
- The size and layout of each building and campus
- The construction and age of the building the cabling runs through
- Environmental factors that affect the install, including humidity and disaster risk along the coast
- Whether the deployment needs to grow or shrink over time
- Which equipment best fits your needs now and a few years out
The result is a cabling system that handles today’s load and the next expansion, in clean runs and labeled racks instead of a server room buried in cable.
Built for Multi-Campus Districts
A district is not one network. It is a dozen buildings that have to behave like one.
- Campus-to-campus connectivity. Connect every school to the district network so staff reach the same systems from any building.
- Capacity for one-to-one device programs. Cabling and switching sized for the device count a modern classroom puts online at the same time.
- Backbone for security and paging. The same network carries cameras, door access, and IP paging for bell schedules and lockdowns.
- E-Rate awareness. Cabling and network infrastructure are designed with E-Rate Category 2 eligibility in mind where it applies, so districts can fund the work they are entitled to.
Built for County and Local Government
County facilities are spread across town and across the county, and they have to stay connected and secure.
- Connecting facilities across distance. WAN links tie courthouses, annexes, and field offices into one network, secured with VPN and IPsec.
- Centralized access to shared systems. Staff reach the same files, applications, and records from any county building.
- Secure segmentation. Separate public-facing networks from staff and records systems on infrastructure built to support it.
- Room to grow. A network engineered to add buildings and users without a rebuild.
LAN and WAN, Designed Around Your Footprint
For a single building, a local area network gives you fast, secure, contained connectivity that is straightforward to scale. For an organization spread across multiple sites, a wide area network ties those locations into one, with VPN and IPsec security and centralized access to shared files and applications no matter where a user sits. We design the right mix for your footprint and engineer it to carry voice, video, security, and data on one reliable backbone.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is structured cabling?
Structured cabling is a designed, installed cabling system that carries your network, phones, cameras, and other devices in an organized, labeled, and scalable way. Instead of cable run ad hoc as needs come up, the whole system is planned around your building so it handles current load and future expansion cleanly.
Can you cable and network a multi-building school district?
Yes. We design campus-to-campus connectivity so every school behaves as part of one district network, sized for one-to-one device programs and carrying security and paging on the same backbone. We design with E-Rate Category 2 eligibility in mind where it applies.
What is the difference between a LAN and a WAN for my organization?
A LAN connects devices within a single building with fast, secure, contained networking. A WAN connects multiple locations into one network, secured with VPN and IPsec, so staff reach the same systems from any site. We design the right mix for your footprint.
Do you handle E-Rate for cabling and network infrastructure?
We design cabling and network projects with E-Rate Category 2 eligibility in mind where it applies, so districts can fund eligible infrastructure. We walk the eligibility question with you during scoping.
Why use the same company for cabling and for phones or cameras?
Because the network is what everything else runs on. When one team engineers the cabling and also installs the phones, cameras, and door access, the backbone is sized to carry all of it from the start, and you have one number to call when anything needs attention.
Do you provide structured cabling near Wilmington, NC?
Yes. True IP Solutions is based near Wilmington with a satellite office in Clinton, NC, and we design and install cabling and networks for schools, government, healthcare, and businesses across North Carolina.
