AmeriTel Communications Corp is proud to support the mission of O.C.E.A.N. Inc. and its Head Start programs by completing a full network installation during their recent move to the historic First National Bank building at Main and Washington Streets in Toms River, NJ.
O.C.E.A.N. Inc. operates Head Start locations across New Jersey, providing critical early education, health, and social services for children ages 3 to 5 from disadvantaged families.
To support their growing communications and technology needs, AmeriTel installed a secure, high-performance rack-mounted network and voice infrastructure tailored for long-term functionality and scalability.
What’s Included in the Installation:
Patch Panels & Structured Cabling:
A fully labeled patch panel system ensures all network connections are organized, easy to trace, and maintain. This allows each workstation and device in the building to be quickly identified and supported.
YuanLey 18-Port PoE Switch:
This managed switch provides Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities, enabling connected VoIP phones, access points, and devices to receive power and data through a single cable.
SonicWall TZ350 Firewall:
A robust firewall offering threat protection and secure internet access, helping to safeguard sensitive data and ensure compliance for all internet traffic within the organization.
Rack-Mounted Servers and UPS:
The installation includes multiple rack-mounted servers and an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) for system stability, data backup, and seamless failover in the event of power loss.
Softphone & VoIP Compatibility:
The new system supports VoIP phones and software-based calling solutions that integrate with AmeriTel’s cloud-based platform, giving staff access to business phone features on desktops and mobile devices.
Clean Cable Management:
Thoughtful cable routing and tie-downs ensure a clean and accessible installation, making the entire rack easy to maintain and update as needed.
AmeriTel’s solution was designed with flexibility, security, and future expansion in mind. As O.C.E.A.N. Inc. continues to serve communities throughout New Jersey, their new network infrastructure will support administrative communications, classroom technology, and day-to-day operations without interruption.
