Get Every Device Connected Without Tearing the Building Apart
Structured cabling and legacy-wiring solutions for the western GTA.
Modern networks need modern cabling. But most buildings were wired long before IP phones, access points, and security cameras existed.
Older commercial buildings — hotels, schools, offices, restaurants — were typically wired for analog telephone service and coaxial TV, not for the density and range of IP devices that modern operations depend on. Running new Ethernet throughout a finished building is expensive, disruptive, and sometimes outright impossible without significant construction.
The result is a hard constraint on what the network can support. Devices get added without proper cabling. Wi-Fi access points are positioned for convenience rather than coverage. VoIP phones don’t make it to every room. And the network underperforms because the physical layer was never designed for what it’s running.
Fidalia’s network cabling practice handles both standard structured cabling projects and purpose-built solutions for legacy buildings using Actelis and Phybridge technology — deploying Ethernet over existing twisted-pair wiring where new runs would be prohibitively costly.
The Problem
Legacy twisted-pair wiring throughout the building
No Ethernet to guest rooms or classrooms
Wi-Fi access points placed without a site survey
IP phones couldn’t reach all locations
Full recabling quote came back too high
Heritage or leased building with construction restrictions
What It Means
Cannot run IP phones or access points without new infrastructure
Devices and rooms that cannot be connected without major work
Coverage gaps and dead zones throughout the property
Phone system rollout stalls or stays incomplete
Project gets shelved waiting for budget that never arrives
No viable path to modern connectivity
What's Included
Fidalia's network cabling services cover both new structured cabling and legacy-wiring solutions:
Structured Cabling
Cat6 and Cat6A installation for new construction, renovations, and buildings that need a clean infrastructure foundation. Designed to spec, tested and certified on completion.
Useful for:
- New construction or gutted renovation
- Office build-outs and tenant fit-ups
- Campus buildings getting a full infrastructure refresh
Ethernet over Twisted-Pair (Actelis and Phybridge)
Deploy IP phones, access points, and IP devices over existing telephone-grade twisted-pair wiring without new Ethernet runs. Actelis and Phybridge hardware extends Ethernet and PoE over existing copper at distances beyond standard Ethernet limits.
Useful for:
- Hotels and motels with analog telephone wiring throughout
- Schools and office buildings with legacy cabling in walls and ceilings
- Any building where recabling would require significant construction
Power over Ethernet Extension
Standard PoE reaches 100 metres. Phybridge and Actelis extenders push power and data over existing twisted-pair beyond those limits — keeping devices powered without new cable runs.
Useful for:
- IP phones at the end of long cable runs
- Access points in difficult-to-reach areas
- Security cameras and access control devices in remote locations
Cabling Assessment
Before any project begins, Fidalia’s team tests and documents existing cabling to determine what can be reused, what needs to be replaced, and what technology is the right fit for each area.
Useful for:
- Due diligence before committing to a deployment approach
- Identifying exactly where new runs are actually required
- Avoiding a full recabling quote when a targeted solution will work
Patch Panel and Distribution
Structured installation of patch panels, cable management, and distribution hardware in telecommunications rooms and wiring closets.
Useful for:
- New IDF and MDF builds
- Consolidating messy legacy wiring into a managed distribution point
- Documentation of all cabling for future reference and troubleshooting
Cable Certification and Testing
All cabling work is tested and certified on completion. Fidalia provides test results and as-built documentation so you know exactly what was installed and how it performed.
Useful for:
- Compliance with TIA/EIA cabling standards
- Proof of installation quality for warranty and insurance purposes
- Baseline documentation for future adds or changes
Commonly Combined With
Network cabling is rarely a standalone project. It’s most often deployed alongside:
VoIP Deployment
Cabling work is typically done alongside a phone system deployment — ensuring every phone location is properly connected before the system goes live.
Useful for:
- Hotel and hospitality phone system rollouts
- School and campus 3CX deployments
- Office VoIP migrations
Wi-Fi Site Survey and Deployment
A wireless site survey identifies optimal access point placement and the cabling required to support it — coordinated with the cabling project for a single deployment.
Useful for:
- Properties adding managed Wi-Fi coverage
- High-density environments like classrooms and hotel floors
- Buildings where access point positioning has never been properly planned
The Right Cabling Approach for Your Building.
Not every building needs a full recable. Not every legacy wiring situation is a dead end.
Fidalia’s team assesses what’s there, determines what technology fits your building, and delivers a solution that gets every device connected without unnecessary construction.

Existing Wiring Reused
Western GTA
The Problem
A 95-suite boutique hotel in Port Credit needed IP phones throughout the property as part of a phone system upgrade. The building had no existing Ethernet infrastructure — only the legacy analog telephone wiring installed during original construction. A standard Cat6 recabling quote came back too high and too disruptive for a property that couldn’t take floors offline during a busy season.
The Result
- Fidalia’s team assessed the existing twisted-pair cabling throughout the building
- Determined the existing wiring was in suitable condition for VoIP deployment using Phybridge technology
- Deployed IP phones to all 95 guest rooms, common areas, and staff stations using existing wiring — no new Ethernet runs
- PoE delivered to each phone over the existing copper without new power infrastructure
- Project completed during a scheduled low-occupancy period with minimal guest disruption
The Business Impact
Full IP phone deployment completed at a fraction of the cost of a structured cabling replacement. Every room connected and operational before peak season.
Why Organizations in the Western GTA Choose Fidalia for Network Cabling
Fidalia’s cabling practice is integrated with its broader network and communications deployments. When cabling is done as part of a phone system, Wi-Fi, or network project, it is coordinated under one scope and one team — not subcontracted and managed separately.
And for buildings where new Ethernet isn’t viable, Fidalia’s experience with Actelis and Phybridge technology gives you options that most cabling contractors can’t offer.
