About Modefin
Modefin (ModefinServer Pvt Ltd) is a Bengaluru-based global fintech company on a mission to drive the digital transformation of banking. Their flagship platform, Modefin OPEB, powers digital banking, mobile banking, mobile wallets, agent banking, digital onboarding, and omnichannel banking for 65+ banks, financial institutions, telcos, and governments across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
Modefin holds ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certifications, is PCI-DSS compliant, and has been recognised with multiple global awards — including the IBSI Sales League Table Industry Leader for Payments & Retail E-Wallets 2024, and the Most Innovative Omnichannel Platform award at the Africa Bank 4.0 Summit. They are also certified as a Great Place to Work.
With their engineering and product teams operating from a multi-floor office in Bengaluru, a reliable, high-performance network is not a convenience — it is the backbone of everything they build and deliver to clients around the world.
The Situation
Modefin's Bengaluru office spans 4 floors and is home to engineering, product, and operations teams who work on mission-critical fintech platforms around the clock. Their clients — banks and financial institutions across three continents — depend on Modefin's uptime, reliability, and security.
But their internal network was not living up to that standard. The team was experiencing persistent connectivity issues — performance gaps, inconsistent wireless coverage, and reliability problems that were impacting day-to-day productivity. For a company whose core product is a digital banking platform, an unreliable internal network was an unacceptable risk.
They needed a networking partner who could first identify exactly what was wrong — and then build something better.
A Two-Phase Engagement Built on Trust
Diagnose First. Fix Right. Build Trust.
Before any new hardware was deployed, Layerix sent in its engineers to do what most vendors skip: a thorough diagnosis. We investigated the existing network infrastructure — switch configurations, AP placement, cabling runs, DHCP and IP assignment behaviour, interference patterns, and traffic flow — to identify the root causes of Modefin's connectivity problems.
Root Cause Analysis
Systematic investigation of the existing setup — switches, APs, cabling, and IP configuration — to pinpoint every source of failure.
Performance Gap Identification
Mapped where and why the network was underperforming across floors, identifying coverage gaps, interference sources, and bandwidth bottlenecks.
Immediate Stabilisation
Resolved critical connectivity issues in the existing infrastructure, restoring reliable network access while the long-term solution was designed.
The outcome of Phase 1 was not just a stabilised network — it was a relationship built on demonstrated competence. Modefin saw how Layerix worked: methodically, without cutting corners, and with full transparency on what was wrong and why. That trust led directly to Phase 2.
Full-Scale Aruba WiFi, Router & Switch Deployment
With the diagnostic work done and trust established, Modefin engaged Layerix for a complete network infrastructure overhaul. We designed and deployed an enterprise-grade solution built on Aruba access points, routers, and managed switches — with every component configured for the specific demands of a fintech engineering environment.
Aruba WiFi Access Points
Enterprise-grade Aruba APs deployed across all 4 floors, positioned using a professional WiFi heatmap survey for optimal, overlap-free coverage.
Router Deployment & Configuration
Enterprise routers deployed and configured for secure, high-throughput connectivity — with routing policies suited to a globally-connected fintech platform.
Managed Switch Infrastructure
Full managed switch deployment with VLAN segmentation, QoS configuration, and PoE for access points and IP endpoints across all floors.
RF Tuning & Performance Optimisation
Post-deployment RF fine-tuning — channel planning, transmit power calibration, and roaming optimisation — to eliminate interference and maximise wireless throughput.
WiFi Heatmap Design
Before a single AP was mounted, a professional heatmap analysis determined exact placement to guarantee coverage in every area — meeting rooms, open floor, server zones.
End-to-End Configuration
Complete configuration of all network devices — SSIDs, security policies, management access, monitoring setup — and handover documentation.
Deployment Process
- 1Site Survey & Heatmap Planning: Floor-by-floor analysis and professional heatmap design to determine AP placement, antenna orientation, and channel allocation.
- 2Infrastructure Design: Network architecture design covering AP placement, switch stacking, VLAN scheme, QoS policies, and routing design.
- 3Aruba AP, Router & Switch Installation: Physical installation of all hardware — APs ceiling-mounted per heatmap plan, switches racked and labelled, routers installed and cabled.
- 4Full Configuration: Complete device configuration — SSIDs, VLANs, PoE budgets, QoS, security policies, and management access — all documented.
- 5RF Fine-Tuning: Post-deployment wireless survey to validate coverage, adjust power levels, resolve any co-channel interference, and optimise roaming behaviour.
- 6Performance Validation & Handover: Speed and throughput testing across all floors, handover documentation, and team walkthrough.

Why Network Quality Matters for a Global Fintech Company
Modefin's engineering teams build and support platforms that process financial transactions for millions of end users across Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. A dropped video call during a client onboarding session, a connectivity failure during a production deployment, or a slow network slowing down a product demo — none of these are acceptable for a company operating at Modefin's level.
The network Layerix deployed gives Modefin's teams the infrastructure confidence to focus on what they do best: building award-winning digital banking products. With Aruba access points providing enterprise-grade wireless across all 4 floors, managed switches delivering VLAN-segmented, QoS-prioritised connectivity, and a properly documented and configured routing layer, the network now matches the ambition of the company it supports.
And it started not with a sale — but with a genuine willingness to diagnose first, and let the quality of the work speak for itself.
"Our engagement with Modefin began with a troubleshooting call — and ended with a complete enterprise network. That's the Layerix approach: diagnose honestly, fix thoroughly, and earn the right to build something better."
