Future-Ready Connectivity: How First Aurora Upgraded WeWork Perth’s Network for Performance, Security, and Scale

Leading international businesses like WeWork choose First Aurora to design and install their systems upgrades to enable perfect connectivity and performance without risk of any downtime for their end users.

A Seamless Workplace Needs a Rock-Solid Network

In a co-working environment like WeWork, connectivity is everything. From freelancers sending proposals to C-suite executives running video conferences, the daily rhythm of business depends on fast, reliable, and secure network performance. That’s why First Aurora was engaged for WeWork’s Perth offices to refresh and modernise their legacy Cisco infrastructure—eliminating bottlenecks, reducing downtime risk, and elevating the user experience for every member and guest on-site.

From Legacy to Leading-Edge: The Cisco Refresh

First Aurora replaced WeWork’s aging Cisco chassis with modern Cisco switches purpose-built for today’s traffic patterns and tomorrow’s growth. The result is a step-change in performance and capability:

• Higher throughput and smarter bandwidth management for modern, high-density environments.

• Faster uplinks and better performance under heavy concurrent loads like video, collaboration apps, and cloud services.

• Stronger security with advanced telemetry and encryption to safeguard users and data.

• Greater visibility and analytics to proactively manage the network and minimise disruptions.
  

This upgrade also addresses common pain points of legacy switches—limited PoE/PoE+ power budgets, slower uplinks, constrained software features, and older operating systems that struggle to support automation and newer management capabilities. In short, the new stack delivers more power, more insight, and more control.

At First Aurora, our technicians are highly trained on complex network installations Like for WeWork in Perth.

Built-In Future-Proofing for Growth

Beyond immediate gains, the refreshed architecture gives WeWork long-term investment protection. The design accommodates:

• Multi-gigabit access and higher speeds as usage scales.

• A surge in connected devices (including IoT) without performance trade-offs.

• Granular network segmentation for stronger security and compliance.

• Automation workflows that reduce operating overhead and accelerate response. In other words, WeWork Perth now has meaningful “headroom” to adapt to evolving demands—without frequent forklift upgrades.

How First Aurora’s regional model worked for WeWork and could for you

Executing a live network upgrade in a busy workspace takes more than technical skill—it requires operational finesse. First Aurora brings both. Our structured approach spans pre-project planning, stakeholder alignment, staged execution, and a comprehensive handover with clear reporting. Throughout the process, WeWork’s services remained uninterrupted, ensuring members and staff experienced business-as-usual—except faster, clearer, and more consistent connectivity.

First Aurora also assumes end-to-end responsibility for delivery, letting client teams refocus on their core priorities. The outcome is a seamless project with minimal disruption and maximum performance upside.

Careful and precise installation of structured cabling enables better performance and ongoing systems management.

Regional Reach, Consistent Excellence

The Perth deployment highlights First Aurora’s unique ability to mobilise top-tier resources anywhere across Australia and Asia. Whether it’s a single site or a multi-country rollout, we deliver consistent standards, consistent documentation, and consistent results. That makes us a trusted partner for organisations with distributed footprints and high expectations.

Who Else Benefits?

While this engagement centred on WeWork, the benefits extend to any organisation offering premium workplace experiences—think JustCo, IWG/Regus, Servcorp, and similar operators. If your brand depends on always-on collaboration, secure connectivity, and frictionless digital experiences, a modernisation initiative like this can measurably improve user satisfaction and operational resilience.

The Bottom Line

• New Cisco switches outperform legacy chassis on speed, capacity, security, and manageability.

• Modern architectures support more devices, more automation, and more uptime.

• First Aurora ensures upgrades are carefully planned, cleanly executed, and fully documented—without impacting day-to-day operations.

• With regional delivery across Asia and Australia, we bring the same rigour and reliability to every site.
