Cost of Poor Network Planning: A Microtech Case Study

What’s the Real Cost of Poor Network Planning? A Microtech Case Breakdown

Introduction: Why Network Planning Matters

When it comes to running a modern business, your IT infrastructure isn’t just a support system—it’s the backbone of operations. Yet, poor network planning continues to be a costly mistake made by small and mid-sized businesses across Pakistan. In this blog, we reveal how one Karachi-based company nearly halted operations due to IT failures—and how Microtech Pakistan helped them recover and thrive. If you’re a business owner, IT manager, or corporate decision-maker, this real-world example will offer critical insights into what to avoid—and how to fix it.
Network Planning

What is Network Planning—and Why It’s Crucial

Network planning refers to the strategic design, implementation, and scaling of a business’s IT infrastructure. This includes everything from fiber internet and routers to switches, firewalls, access points, and security configurations. Done right, it ensures seamless operations. Done wrong, it causes daily frustration, lost revenue, and security vulnerabilities.

Case Breakdown: The Hidden Cost of Poor Network Planning

A growing trading firm in Karachi had recently moved into a new 5-story office. As part of their expansion, they needed high-speed connectivity, secure internal networks, and zero downtime. Instead, they chose to hire a general electrical contractor who lacked IT expertise.

Within Weeks, These Problems Emerged:

  • Employees experienced constant Wi-Fi dropouts
  • Slow internet speeds despite a 100 Mbps connection
  • File sharing delays across departments
  • Weak cybersecurity with open access points
  • Hardware conflicts due to incompatible setups
Productivity losses were estimated at over PKR 2.5 million in just two months. Unlike home setups, business IT infrastructure demands structured network planning. A failure to do so often leads to inefficient bandwidth usage, overlapping IP conflicts, cybersecurity gaps, and bottlenecks. Even expensive equipment won’t perform unless it’s integrated properly.

How Microtech Solved It: A Smart Network Planning Overhaul

When Microtech was brought in, the goal was not just to fix the symptoms—but to re-engineer the entire network from the ground up.

1. Comprehensive Network Planning Audit

Microtech’s team conducted a detailed on-site audit, mapping out the building’s layout, identifying weak points, and diagnosing compatibility issues. From there, we designed a robust architecture with a fiber backbone.

2. Hardware Upgrade with Scalable Infrastructure

Old consumer-grade routers were replaced with:
  • Huawei Enterprise Routers
  • MikroTik Cloud Core Switches
  • eKitEngine Rack Mounts for secure server placement
  • VSOL GPON ONU devices for fiber deployment
  • Huawei Wi-Fi 6 Access Points for seamless roaming
All products were sourced from Microtech’s online store and professionally installed.

3. Security Layer Integration

To prevent data breaches and internal snooping:
  • MikroTik firewalls were configured
  • VLAN segmentation ensured data separation between departments
  • Remote access was made secure for offsite teams

4. Testing, Training, and Support

Once the network was live, Microtech ran multiple stress tests and trained the in-house IT team. The company also enrolled in our 6-month free maintenance program.

Common Network Planning Mistakes You Should Avoid

Mistake #1: Hiring Unqualified Contractors

Network planning isn’t electrical wiring. It needs professional IT minds with hands-on experience.

Mistake #2: No Scalability Consideration

Your business will grow—but can your network handle double the devices and traffic in the next 2 years?

Mistake #3: Using Consumer Hardware

Consumer-grade Wi-Fi or routers aren’t built for 30+ users per floor. You need enterprise-grade equipment.

Mistake #4: Overlooking Cybersecurity

An unsegmented network with basic passwords is a hacker’s paradise. Enterprise firewalls and VLANs are essential.

Mistake #5: No Expert Consultation

Skipping experts like Microtech leads to trial and error—and your business pays the price.
