Communications & Data Infrastructure

Overview

Reliable communications infrastructure is the backbone of any modern industrial operation. Deftec designs, builds, and maintains the network and data infrastructure that keeps your systems connected — from the control room to the field.

What we deliver

Industrial network engineering

Our team designs and implements Layer 2 and Layer 3 industrial networks built for the demands of OT environments. We work with all major industrial networking vendors and understand the unique requirements of SCADA, DCS, and ICS communications — including latency, redundancy, and segmentation.

Structured cabling and fibre optics

As ACRS Master Cabler registered installers, Deftec designs and installs structured cabling and fibre optic infrastructure across industrial sites. From new installations to upgrades and fault rectification, our cabling work is documented, tested, and certified to Australian standards.

Network protection and resilience

Industrial networks must be available when it counts. We design redundant network architectures with ring topologies, dual uplinks, and automatic failover — ensuring your operations continue even when individual components fail.

Server room and data centre design

We design and build server rooms and data centres appropriate for industrial environments — including power distribution, cooling, physical security, and cable management. Our designs meet the operational requirements of mining and heavy industry sites.

Wireless and radio communications

For remote and mobile assets, we design and install wireless communications infrastructure including licensed radio, Wi-Fi, and cellular backup systems that maintain connectivity across large and challenging sites.
