More About Activo
Activo operates as a network and communication infrastructure services firm focused on enterprise, government, healthcare, education, and other institutional customers in Canada. The company engages in end-to-end projects that span initial site assessment, design and engineering, installation, and lifecycle support for networked systems deployed across buildings and campuses.
A core area of Activo’s work is structured cabling and physical layer infrastructure, covering copper and fiber-optic cabling, cable management, and related plant components (network infrastructure). This includes design and installation aligned to common enterprise standards for data centers, wiring closets, backbone cabling, and office or facility connectivity. By addressing the physical layer, Activo supports higher-layer services such as IP networking, voice, video, and building systems.
In IP networking, Activo delivers Local Area Network (LAN) and Wide Area Network (WAN) infrastructure services, typically involving Ethernet switching, routing, wireless access, and network segmentation (network infrastructure). These deployments are usually based on standard enterprise protocols such as Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), Ethernet (IEEE 802.3), Wi‑Fi (IEEE 802.11), and VLANs (IEEE 802.1Q). The firm’s role often spans configuration, integration with existing environments, and testing to align performance and reliability with organizational requirements.
The company also supports telephony and unified communications projects, including IP-based voice systems, voicemail, conferencing, and related collaboration tools (communications). These solutions integrate with enterprise networks using Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP), and other real-time communication protocols. Activo’s services frequently involve migration from legacy voice platforms to IP-based communication, as well as integration with contact centers and end-user devices.
Another service line is electronic security and surveillance, where Activo deploys IP cameras, access control, and associated low-voltage systems (physical security). These solutions run over converged IP networks and often integrate with video management software and monitoring centers. Activo’s role typically includes camera placement design, cabling, network readiness, and commissioning of endpoint devices.
Across these domains, Activo offers managed services and ongoing maintenance, such as monitoring, incident response, and scheduled upkeep for network and communication systems (managed services). This positions the company within marketplace categories covering network infrastructure services, unified communications integration, physical security integration, and managed network services. Its portfolio is used by enterprises and institutions seeking a single provider for cabling, networking, voice, and related low-voltage systems within multi-site or campus environments.
