## Why: A network that stays up when people depend on it

Universities and hospitals need a network that stays up when people depend on it. Government ministries need infrastructure that is secure and can be maintained. Businesses want offices that just work. Where grid power is unreliable, the network is only as dependable as its backup power.

## How: Survey the site, design and quote, then install, test and support

TpISENT (SL) Limited surveys your site and needs, designs and quotes, then installs, tests and supports. We have worked on infrastructure in Sierra Leone for years: we designed solar-capable computer laboratories for Holy Family Schools and Methodist Boys High School, with a thin-client design that cut operating cost by about 40% against standard desktop provision, and we launched a solar-powered server in 2013.

- A site survey before anything is designed or quoted
- Backup power planned in, with solar and batteries where the grid is unreliable
- Servers and networks documented and handed over
- Infrastructure audit and security work alongside installation
- Ongoing support and maintenance after handover
