01 · SNS Networking — Scaffold / Research / TODO
Status: Business #1 — ACTIVE · Tagline: The Connected Foundation
Entity: SNS Networking LLC (operating subsidiary of SnS Network Solutions Holdings LLC)
Liability tier: High (physical/on-site + cyber E&O)
Signature accent: Signal Blue #1E6FFF
Formal brief: ../../divisions/sns-networking.md
Consolidates: former Infrastructure + Secure + Systems divisions into one entity. If it touches the network, protects the network, or runs on-prem compute — it's Networking.
Scope
Physical networking & cabling
- Structured cabling (Cat6/6A, fiber) and certification
- Enterprise networking (Cisco, MikroTik, Ubiquiti) — routing, switching, VLANs
- Wireless design, site surveys, Wi-Fi deployment
- Rack build-outs, patch panels, cable management, labeling
- Network documentation: IP schemes, rack diagrams, cable maps
Security (physical + cyber)
- IP cameras (design, install, NVR/VMS), access control, alarms
- Firewalls/UTM, VPN, network segmentation
- Security audits, hardening, monitoring, incident response
- Awareness training
On-prem systems
- Linux server design, deployment, administration
- Virtualization (Proxmox, KVM) and containers
- Self-hosted infrastructure (identity, files, backups)
- Storage, NAS/SAN, disaster-recovery design
- Ansible automation for repeatable builds
Boundary Rules
- Build, don't maintain. Project/build work lives here. Recurring managed contracts (SLAs, monthly monitoring, helpdesk) belong to SNS Support.
- Not cloud. Off-prem compute (AWS, Azure, hosted) belongs to SNS Digital.
- Not software/web. Custom apps, websites, and hosting belong to SNS Digital.

TODO → Launch
- Confirm name availability: SNS Networking LLC (or retain SNS Infrastructure LLC and file assumed name)
- Form LLC on INBiz (owner: Holdings LLC) · EIN · operating agreement
- Business bank account (separate from Holdings)
- Insurance: general liability + cyber E&O + workers' comp (field/low-voltage class)
- Confirm Indiana low-voltage / alarm / security licensing requirements
- Secure the ~$65–80k loan runway (personal guarantee likely)
- Hire the builder-operator; set up Field Nation / Work Market for labor
- Vendor accounts (Graybar, ADI, Wesco/Anixter) + Fluke certifier
- Finalize combined logo/branding for the consolidated entity
TODO → Security Service Line (formerly SNS Secure)
- Confirm Indiana alarm/security licensing — blocker for physical security work
- Decide launch shape: physical-first, cyber-first, or both
- Pick core product lines (cameras, access control, firewall/UTM vendors)
- Draft pricing + service packages (project vs. monitoring handoff to Support)
TODO → Systems Service Line (formerly SNS Systems)
- Define standard reference builds (hypervisor, backup, identity, monitoring)
- Build the Ansible baseline / IaC repo
- Pricing: project builds vs. handoff-to-Support maintenance
Milestones
Track build milestones here once the operator is onboarded and the plan is live.
Legal & Insurance
- Licensing flag: Indiana may require a state license to sell/install/monitor burglar/fire/electronic security, access control, and CCTV — verify before physical security work.
