# 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`](../../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**.
## Working Documents (carried from former Infrastructure)
- [`sns-infrastructure-hiring.md`](./sns-infrastructure-hiring.md) — operator hiring plan
- [`operator-compensation-proposal.md`](./operator-compensation-proposal.md) — pay proposal
- [`cash-flow-model.md`](./cash-flow-model.md) + [`cash-flow-model.csv`](./cash-flow-model.csv) — 12-month projection
- [`branding-prompt.md`](./branding-prompt.md) — logo prompt + variants
## 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 ~$6580k 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.
- Store formation docs, EIN letter, operating agreement, licenses, and insurance
policies in `docs/` when this splits into its own repo.
