IT for Warrendale office parks, light industry and distribution
Warrendale, in Marshall Township, sits on Interstate 79 just south of Cranberry Township. Its office parks, light-industrial buildings and distribution space need networks, cameras and systems that stay up. KawaConnect builds and runs them, with visits by appointment.

Buildings with more than desks
A warehouse or light-industrial unit has dock doors, scanners, cameras and a few offices. One network usually carries all of it.
Cameras send video around the clock, and on a flat network an infected scanner or office PC can reach every other device in the building. We separate traffic into VLANs, put cameras on their own segment, and place OPNsense firewalls in high-availability pairs so a single failed box does not take the building offline.
Where we would start
- Walk the building. We visit by appointment from Coraopolis or Beaver Falls and note cabling, rooms and gear.
- Write the scope. You get a written plan covering what changes and in what order.
- Build and document. We install, then hand over diagrams, device lists and recovery steps.
- Run it. Monitoring and a named engineer continue as an ongoing agreement, or the project ends there.
Why on-site work matters here
Some jobs need a person in the building: tracing a cable run to a dock office, aiming a camera at a loading door, or checking Wi-Fi coverage in a far corner of the floor. We plan those visits so one trip covers several tasks, and we handle everything else remotely.

Questions about IT in Warrendale
Can you cover a site with offices and a warehouse floor?
Yes. We design the network for both, keep device traffic apart from office traffic, and monitor the whole thing.
How would we view cameras from home?
Through a VPN. We do not open ports to the internet for camera access.
What if we have several sites?
Site-to-site VPN and Tailscale connect them. Nearby Cranberry Township is covered on its own page, and the full area list shows the rest.
