Last winter we went to an auto parts factory in Shunyi, Beijing, to deal with a network failure. The owner told us that they used to spend RMB 700,000–800,000 a year on network equipment procurement and operations, and that whenever something went wrong they had to scramble to find an engineer at short notice — response times were simply not guaranteed. When I got on site, the core switch had been purchased five years earlier, and the data center room was stacked with equipment from three or four different brands that could not be managed together at all. This situation is all too common among manufacturers in Beijing — IT budgets rise year after year, yet network stability keeps getting worse.

Why Beijing Enterprises Choose Siwenlide’s Network Equipment Package

In fourteen years of providing IT operations services in Beijing, I have seen far too many companies driven to distraction by network problems. Too much equipment and no one to manage it, finger-pointing whenever something breaks down, and annual renewal fees that are a bottomless pit. Siwenlide’s Network Equipment Package service essentially solves the problem as one complete bundle — a single contract covering firewalls, routers, switches and wireless APs, free replacement of failed equipment during the contract term, and a monthly subscription so there is no large one-off capital outlay.

1. Zero procurement pressure: no need to invest hundreds of thousands upfront in equipment — all hardware is free within the contract term, and faulty units are replaced with new ones.
2. Unified operations and management: Cisco, Huawei, H3C, Aruba — whatever brands you were using before, we take over and manage them as one, avoiding finger-pointing between vendors.
3. Guaranteed response: on site within 4 hours anywhere inside Beijing’s 6th Ring Road, and within 2 hours in core areas. This response speed is our core competitive advantage over smaller service providers.

What We Have Done in Beijing

At that auto parts plant in Shunyi, the first thing we did after taking over was replace the whole jumble of equipment they had. We redesigned the original three-tier network into a flattened topology: Huawei S5720 at the core layer, two H3C 5560 switches at the aggregation layer, and Aruba wireless APs in the office areas. The whole project took three weeks. Today the barcode scanners, AGV carts and IoT sensors on their shop floor all run over the wired network, and latency has gone from unstable to a steady 5 milliseconds or less. Operations costs have dropped from RMB 700,000 a year to RMB 400,000 a year under the subscription model — the owner says it is money well spent.

Another case is a law firm in Beijing’s Chaoyang CBD with around a hundred staff. They had been running a consumer-grade router from some brand to handle a hundred concurrent users, and the partners’ video meetings would freeze at the drop of a hat. They came to us, and we deployed Siwenlide’s package solution: a Huawei firewall for perimeter security, 10-gigabit core switching, and Wi-Fi 6 APs throughout the meeting rooms and workstations. Crucially, law firms have high network security requirements, so we also brought in the sTrust Zero Trust Security solution, so that lawyers working remotely can access the internal network securely. A review three months later showed network fault tickets falling from a dozen-plus a month to zero.

Core Deliverables of the Network Equipment Package

Some clients ask me what the package actually covers. I usually tell them that Siwenlide delivers a genuine turnkey project. From network architecture design and equipment selection and procurement, through installation and commissioning, to ongoing operations and support, we handle everything — the client simply uses it. Specifically:

• Network architecture design and planning: a custom network topology tailored to your company size, business needs and budget constraints, avoiding both over-investment and insufficient capacity.
• Full range of hardware: firewalls, routers, core switches, aggregation switches, access switches and wireless APs — all provided free during the contract term and replaced outright if they fail.
• Professional installation and commissioning: equipment racking, cabinet cable management, VLAN segmentation, QoS policy configuration and wireless coverage optimization, all handled on site by our engineers.
• 24/7 operations monitoring: network device status monitoring, traffic analysis and anomaly alerts, so we find problems proactively instead of waiting for failures to happen.
• Fault response and resolution: on site within 2 hours for hardware failures, remote handling for software issues, and resolution within 4 hours for critical faults.
• Contract-term benefits: selected plans include enterprise broadband or a dedicated line at no extra cost, keeping your business connectivity more stable without having to deal with the carrier yourself.

Pricing Reference (Beijing)

Beijing’s IT market is a mixed bag, with prices ranging from the sky-high to the rock-bottom. I have seen providers quote very low prices, only for the follow-up operations and renewal fees to add up to more than the cost of buying the equipment outright. Siwenlide’s package service sticks to transparent pricing: monthly subscription, hardware fully covered during the contract term, no hidden fees. Below is the reference price range for the Beijing market:

Company Size	Equipment Configuration	Monthly Subscription Fee	Best Suited For
50–100 employees	Huawei firewall + core switch + 8–12 APs	RMB 8,000–15,000/month	Small and mid-sized offices, law firms, consulting companies
100–300 employees	Dual-core redundancy + firewall cluster + 20–40 APs + wireless controller	RMB 20,000–40,000/month	Manufacturing shop floors, chain retail stores, mid-sized office buildings

This price covers the provision and replacement of all hardware. Actual quotes are adjusted to each company’s specific needs — for example, whether multi-branch interconnection is required, whether additional security policies are needed, or whether the server room requires power and environmental monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can we reuse the Cisco and Huawei equipment we bought earlier?

A: Yes, you can. Siwenlide supports unified operations and management across multi-vendor equipment — whether you previously purchased Cisco, Huawei or H3C, we can take it over. That said, if equipment is too old or underpowered, we will recommend replacements, and the new equipment is also free during the contract term.

Q: How long is the contract term for the package service?

A: The standard contract term is 1–3 years, depending on company size and requirements. All hardware is replaced free of charge during the term, and service response times are guaranteed. We recommend a longer term — the price is more favourable, and you avoid the hassle of renewing every year.

Q: What if a device fails and the network goes down during repairs?

A: We deploy redundant equipment at critical nodes — for example, core switches run in active-passive hot standby, and APs use channel redundancy. Should a device actually fail, a replacement unit can be on site within 2 hours, keeping your business essentially uninterrupted.

Q: Beyond the Network Equipment Package, does Siwenlide provide other IT services?

A: Absolutely. Siwenlide is a one-stop IT subscription provider for enterprises in Beijing. Alongside the Network Equipment Package, we also offer IT Operations Outsourcing, Low-Voltage & Cabling Projects, and sTrust Zero Trust Security. Many clients hand us everything under a single contract — less hassle, less effort.
