Background:  A multinational pharmaceutical and healthcare distribution company

Industry: Healthcare and Distribution 

Location: Parañaque City, Philippines 



In today’s digital-first environment, a fast, secure, and reliable wireless network is no longer option-al—it’s essential. Cerium Networks Philippines, Inc. (CNPI) recently delivered a full-scale Cisco Wireless Network implementation for a multinational pharmaceutical company.


Enabling a modern, high-performance connectivity environment built for enterprise demands, the client’s facility in Paranaque City required a scalable and secure network upgrade to support critical business operations.


The Challenge

The client’s existing wireless environment required an upgrade to:

  • Improve network performance and coverage
  • Support seamless roaming across multiple floors
  • Ensure high availability and business continuity
  • Enable centralized management and future scalability

Any implementation needed to be executed with minimal disruption to ongoing operations.

The Solution

A Scalable Cisco Wireless Network Built for Performance.

The project involved the design, deployment, and commissioning of a Cisco Wi-Fi 6 infrastructure, featuring:  

  • Cisco Catalyst 9800-L Wireless LAN Controllers
  • Cisco Catalyst 9300L PoE Switches
  • Cisco 9115AX Wi-Fi 6 Access Points

This enterprise-grade architecture was designed to deliver:

  • High-speed wireless connectivity
  • Seamless roaming and mobility
  • Redundant and highly available wireless services
  • Improved network visibility and manageability

This architecture was carefully planned to provide seamless roaming, high availability, stronger cover-age, and improved network manageability across multiple floors. From hardware delivery and staging to wireless migration and post-cutover monitoring, CNPI handled the implementation end-to-end.

Seamless Migration with Zero Compromise on Reliability


The wireless cutover and migration were completed successfully, transitioning both new and existing access points into a unified, centralized  controller environment. 

Comprehensive User Acceptance   Testing (UAT) validated critical functions such as high-availability failover, inter-VLAN routing, SSID broadcasting, and end-to-end connectivity—ensuring the network met the client’s performance and reliability standards.



Despite environmental challenges encountered during deployment, the project was completed and formally accepted, with only a small number of access points scheduled under a backlog agreement. The network is now fully operational and production-ready, supporting the client’s  day-to-day operations with enhanced speed, stability, and scalability.


Results & Business Impact 


Following final acceptance, the client now benefits from:

A production-ready Cisco Wi-Fi 6 network

Improved wireless speed, stability, and cover age

Scalable enterprise networking infrastructure

Enhanced reliability for daily operations
