ICT Consultant & Structured Cabling Design for Ireland

ASDV Consultant is a specialist ICT consultant for Ireland and structured cabling design provider, delivering complete network infrastructure and building technology design for commercial, healthcare, data centre, education and hospitality projects. Our ICT design service covers structured cabling, active network architecture, Wi-Fi planning, data centre ICT and building management system (BMS) integration — coordinated with the wider ELV and security scope as a single, clash-free package.

We deliver all ICT design services remotely, with overnight turnaround on markups and fees at 40–60% below comparable Irish consultancy rates. Every deliverable — cabling layouts, containment plans, rack elevations, telecommunications room designs and network architecture diagrams — is produced to the standards Irish planning, certification and procurement processes require.

As vendor-neutral consultants, we specify systems that can be tendered competitively. ASDV does not tie Irish clients to any single cabling, switch or wireless manufacturer. Our designs are compatible with all leading brands and backed by full warranty-chain documentation.

Structured Cabling Design Ireland — ISO/IEC 11801 & TIA-568

Structured cabling forms the physical foundation for every digital service in a building — from internet access and CCTV to VoIP telephony, building management and wireless networks. A well-designed structured cabling system in Ireland delivers a 25-year-warranted, standards-compliant infrastructure that accommodates technology changes without rewiring. A poorly specified system creates channel failures, warranty disputes and costly remediation works.

ASDV designs structured cabling systems to ISO/IEC 11801 (international generic cabling standard) and the ANSI/TIA-568 series (widely specified on Irish and multinational-tenant projects). Key aspects of our structured cabling design service include:

• Category 6A UTP and STP copper cabling — to support 10GBASE-T active equipment and PoE++ (90W) power delivery for APs, cameras, access control and digital signage
• OM4 and OS2 fibre backbone — multi-mode for short-range campus links, single-mode for long-distance and data centre interconnects
• Cable containment design — tray, basket, conduit and ladder systems sized for the cable population, with future-proofing allowances and fire-barrier specification at all penetrations
• Telecommunications room (TR) design — rack layouts, passive equipment specification, active equipment space allocation, power and cooling calculation
• MDA/HDA topology for data centres and large campus buildings
• Cable schedules and numbering — complete cable-by-cable schedules with unique identifiers for every outlet, patch panel port and cable run
• Channel performance verification — design-stage channel performance calculations to confirm Class EA / Category 6A compliance before installation

ICT Infrastructure Design Ireland — LAN, WAN & Network Architecture

Structured cabling is the physical layer. ASDV also provides the ICT infrastructure design that sits above it — active network architecture for LAN, WAN and internet connectivity in Irish commercial buildings, campuses and data centres.

Our ICT infrastructure design for Ireland covers:

• Network topology design — core-distribution-access three-tier and collapsed-core architectures
• Switch specifications — port count, PoE budget, stacking, redundancy and VLAN requirements
• Firewall and perimeter security specification — with GDPR and NIS Directive compliance considerations for Irish organisations
• WAN connectivity — specification of primary and secondary internet circuits, SD-WAN architecture for multi-site Irish organisations
• VoIP and unified communications infrastructure — PABX placement, VoIP gateway specification, QoS requirements
• IPTV distribution infrastructure — head-end specification and coaxial/IP distribution design for hotels, healthcare and education
• Digital signage and AV infrastructure design

Wi-Fi Planning & Coverage Design Ireland

Wireless network design in Ireland has become a primary ICT infrastructure deliverable as organisations adopt cloud-first IT strategies and mobile working practices. ASDV provides Wi-Fi design services for Ireland covering access point location planning, coverage modelling, channel planning, roaming design and PoE switch specification.

• Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) and Wi-Fi 6E AP location layouts for office, healthcare, hospitality and education environments
• Coverage simulation for high-density lecture theatres, conference centres and airport terminals
• Channel plan design to minimise co-channel and adjacent-channel interference
• Controller or cloud-managed WLAN architecture specification (Cisco, Aruba, Fortinet, Ruckus)
• Guest VLAN and captive portal design for hospitality and mixed-use buildings
• Integration with structured cabling — PoE budget and switch port allocation for every AP
• RTLS (real-time location services) infrastructure for healthcare patient tracking

Data Centre ICT Design Ireland — TIA-942 & EN 50600

Ireland's data centre sector is one of the most active in Europe, driven by the presence of hyperscale operators and a growing colocation market. ASDV provides specialist data centre ICT design in Ireland to TIA-942 and EN 50600 standards:

• Structured cabling backbone — inter-rack, intra-row and spine-leaf fibre topology design to TIA-942 Tier II–IV
• MDA/HDA/ZDA zone topology design for hyperscale and colocation data halls
• Top-of-rack and end-of-row cabling strategy specification
• Overhead cable management — ladder trays, cable ducts and overhead busway integration
• DCIM sensor and monitoring infrastructure design
• Out-of-band (OOB) management network design
• Carrier and cross-connect room (MMR, MDC, LDF) design

BMS Consultant Ireland — Building Management System Design

A building management system (BMS) controls the energy-consuming systems within a building — HVAC, lighting, metering, shading and equipment shutdown. As a specialist BMS consultant for Ireland, ASDV designs the BMS controls architecture and integrates it with the wider ELV and ICT systems in the building.

• BMS architecture design — controllers, field devices, backbone network and operator workstation specification
• BACnet, Modbus RTU/TCP, KNX and Lonworks protocol selection and integration
• HVAC controls integration — AHU, FCU, chiller, boiler and heat pump sequences of operation
• Metering and sub-metering design for SEAI compliance and energy management reporting
• Lighting control integration — DALI, KNX and relay-based dimming and switching
• Fire alarm interface and shutdown sequences for AHU dampers and smoke extract fans
• Fault management and remote monitoring specification for Irish facilities management teams
