Internet, fibre and networking

Reliable connectivity. Properly engineered.

From fibre-optic infrastructure and structured cabling to business Wi-Fi and network integration, we plan and install connectivity systems around your property, operations, and performance requirements.

What we do, and what your provider does

We build the network. Your provider supplies the internet.

We are an electrical engineering company. We assess, install, configure, test and maintain connectivity infrastructure at your property. We are not an internet service provider or fibre network operator.

Your internet service provider

  • The internet subscription and its price
  • Coverage, bandwidth and service levels
  • The external connection to your property and its terminal equipment
  • Connection dates

Kell Electricals

  • Assessing the property and what the network must do
  • Cabling, fibre distribution, racks and outlets inside your building
  • Routers, switches, Wi-Fi and firewall installation and configuration
  • Testing, documentation and maintenance

Availability, bandwidth, subscription pricing, service levels and connection dates depend on the provider you select, and we cannot guarantee them before the provider confirms them.

Our networking services

Internet, fibre, cabling, Wi-Fi and network management

Choose a category. Items marked 'Subject to confirmation' are offered only once the required capability or authorisation is confirmed for the project.

Availability, bandwidth, subscription price, service levels and connection dates come from your internet service provider, not from us. We help you assess options, prepare the building and make the connection work properly inside it.

Security is a result of the whole design, not of one device. We do not run intrusive scans or change customer systems without explicit authorisation, and we ask you never to send passwords in an enquiry.

Networking and security

Your security systems are only as reliable as your network

Cameras, access control, intercoms, alarms and smart locks all depend on the network and on power. A weak or shared network can make them unreliable or exposed.

  • Keep security devices on their own network

    Cameras and access control should not share an unrestricted network with guests or office traffic.

  • Cable what matters

    Power over Ethernet and cabled links are more dependable than Wi-Fi for cameras and readers.

  • Protect remote access

    Remote viewing needs secure set-up, never default passwords or open ports.

  • Plan backup power

    A network that goes down in an outage takes cameras, intercoms and gate controllers with it.

See CCTV and security systems, gates and access control, burglar alarms and home automation.

Network equipment in plain language

Modem or optical network terminal (ONT)
The provider’s device that receives the service. For fibre, the terminal converts the optical signal to a network connection.
Router
Connects your network to the internet and manages traffic between devices. Many home routers include Wi-Fi.
Wi-Fi access point
Adds Wi-Fi to a network and usually connects to the router by cable. Larger sites use several.
Mesh Wi-Fi
Several units that work together as one wireless network. Units connected by cable generally perform better than units linked only by radio.
Switch
Adds wired ports so more devices, cameras and access points can connect.

FAQ

Common questions

View all FAQs →
Can you help install fibre internet at my property?

We can plan, install and test the cabling and equipment inside your property so a provider’s fibre service can be used. The fibre connection to your boundary and its terminal equipment come from the provider you choose. We are not an internet service provider.

Is fibre broadband available at every address in Abuja?

No. Fibre is available only where a provider has network reach, and that changes over time. Only the provider can confirm availability for a specific address, so check with them before planning around it. We can help you decide what to ask.

What is the difference between fibre internet and Wi-Fi?

Fibre is a type of physical connection that carries your internet service to the building. Wi-Fi is how devices inside connect wirelessly to a router or access point. You can have fibre feeding a Wi-Fi network, and Wi-Fi can also be fed by other types of connection.

What is the difference between a router and a Wi-Fi access point?

A router connects your network to the internet and manages traffic. An access point adds Wi-Fi to a network and usually connects back to a router by cable. Many home routers include an access point; larger sites often use several access points around one router.

Is mesh Wi-Fi better than a single router?

Not always. Mesh can help in homes where adding cable is hard, but mesh units connected by cable generally perform better than units linked only by radio. The right choice depends on the building, and we recommend after an assessment.

What is the difference between Cat6 and Cat6A cabling?

Both are copper network cables. Cat6A is built to carry higher speeds over the full cable length and is thicker and stiffer, so it is usually more expensive to install. Cat6 suits many homes and offices; Cat6A is chosen where there is a clear need for it.

Can fibre connect separate buildings?

Yes. Fibre links are commonly used between buildings on the same site. The route needs protecting from damage and moisture, and a route that crosses public or third-party land needs the owners’ permission and any required authorisation.

Can I have two internet providers for backup?

Yes. It needs two separate subscriptions and a router or firewall that can manage both. We design and configure the in-building side. Your providers supply the connections and their availability.

What is automatic internet failover?

It is a set-up that switches your traffic to a backup connection when the main one fails. How quickly and smoothly it switches depends on the equipment, and the backup connection needs its own subscription and power.

Can CCTV cameras run on a network?

Yes, IP cameras are network devices and are usually powered over the same cable. They are best on a reliable cabled network kept separate from guest and office traffic, with enough capacity for recording.

Can I separate guest Wi-Fi from my main network?

Yes, with suitable equipment. A guest network keeps visitors off the devices and files on your main network. How well it isolates depends on the equipment and its settings.

How do you diagnose slow Wi-Fi?

We test inside the building first: the router, the cabling, the Wi-Fi signal and interference, and the number of devices. That shows whether the problem is the provider’s service, the equipment, the cabling or the layout. If it is the provider, we help you document it.

Can an existing network be upgraded without replacing every cable?

Often, yes. We check what is installed and test it. Sometimes only some runs need replacing or the equipment needs upgrading. Older or damaged cabling may limit what is possible.

Does a new building require network cabling during construction?

It is much easier and usually cheaper to plan conduits, risers and outlet positions during construction than to retrofit them later. We recommend including network pathways in the building plan.

Can network equipment run on an inverter or solar backup?

Routers, switches and access points use little power compared with most appliances, so they are good candidates for backup power. The total load and runtime must still be checked against your inverter and batteries, and the provider’s own equipment also needs power.

What information is required for a network quotation?

The property type and location, number of floors and buildings, number of users and devices, what the network must support, what equipment and cabling exist, any current problems, and whether you need backup connectivity. The questionnaire on this page collects these. Do not send passwords or other credentials.

Do you provide the internet subscription itself?

No. The subscription, bandwidth, service level and connection date come from the internet service provider you choose. We provide the technical assessment, installation, configuration, testing and maintenance of the network at your property.
