WiFi 7, CCTV & Biometric Access for RockED India Office | Layerix

About RockED — Where 80,000 Dealership Employees Go to Learn

RockED (The RockED Company Inc.) is a Fort Lauderdale-based performance development platform purpose-built for the automotive industry. Their mobile-first platform is where more than 80,000 dealership employees across 12,000+ dealers go every day — two-minute bite-sized guides in the flow of work, AI virtual coaching before customer conversations, and service performance analytics that connect learning directly to revenue. They are trusted by JD Power, JM&A Group, Dealer Tire, and 37+ industry partners. Over 35,000 industry certifications issued. 15 million+ learning completions.

That's what RockED does for their clients. A company that is in the business of making other people's operations run more effectively takes the same standard seriously when setting up their own. When RockED established their India office in Bengaluru, they needed someone who could handle the complete IT infrastructure — cabling, security cameras, door access, and WiFi — without the usual drama of coordinating five separate vendors, chasing three different support numbers, and wondering which one to call when something doesn't work at 9am before the first stand-up.

That someone was Layerix Networking Experts. One team. Five systems. Everything commissioned before the India team walked in on day one.

The Challenge — Five Systems, One Office Opening Date, Zero Tolerance for "We'll Sort It Later"

New office IT deployments have a fixed problem: the opening date doesn't move. When RockED's Bengaluru team was scheduled to start work, the office needed to be fully functional — not "mostly done." That meant all five systems had to be scoped, procured, installed, configured, and tested before day one:

• WiFi that actually reaches every desk: An office full of software engineers, product managers, and operations staff running video calls, cloud tools, and internal platforms simultaneously needs WiFi 7 — not a consumer router and a prayer. The C-400 WiFi 7 access points with cloud licences were selected specifically for their high-density multi-user performance and the ability to manage the entire wireless network remotely from day one without being on-site.
• Door access that's not a padlock: A US tech company does not want a manual key system or a guard at the door. They want fingerprint biometric authentication at the main entrance, an EM lock on the single-leaf door, RFID cards for staff, an exit push button, and a biometric attendance log that HR can actually use. The ESSL F22 + EM lock + RFID system delivers all of that. It also means the CISO or IT head in the US can see who entered the India office and when — which matters more than most people mention out loud.
• CCTV that records, not just streams: Two Prama 2MP turret cameras, a 16-channel NVR, and a 4TB surveillance hard disk — sized for extended retention, not just "we have cameras." When a US headquarters asks for footage from an incident three weeks ago, the answer needs to be "yes, here it is" not "we only keep two days."
• Structured cabling done once, not twice: CommScope AWG23 Cat6 UTP cable to every drop point, CommScope 24-port loaded patch panel, RJ45 jacks, patch cords, and a cable manager — structured cabling installed correctly the first time so the network doesn't need to be rewired in six months when throughput issues surface.
• Internet resilience — because a Bengaluru ISP going down cannot stop a US product team from reaching their India engineers: The TP-Link ER7206 multi-WAN load balancer means if the primary ISP goes dark, the backup link takes over automatically. No IT ticket. No downtime. No stand-up cancelled because "the internet is down in Bengaluru."

Layerix scoped all five systems together, planned the installation sequence so cabling went in first and everything else followed in order, and commissioned the full deployment before RockED's India team moved in.

The Scope — Everything the India Office Needed, From One Team

Every item below was sourced, installed, configured, and commissioned by the same Layerix in-house engineering team. No vendor coordination for RockED to manage. No finger-pointing between systems. One team. One handover. One number to call.

How Layerix Delivered It — Cable First. Then Security. Then Network.

Every system depends on the one before it. You can't power a camera without a cable. You can't connect an AP without a switch port. You can't commission a biometric terminal without a network to register on. Layerix sequenced the RockED deployment in three phases so every subsequent system came online onto a verified, working foundation.

What the RockED Engagement Actually Demonstrates About Layerix

A US company trusted by JD Power, JM&A Group, and 12,000+ automotive dealers chose a Bengaluru IT infrastructure company to build their India office network. That's not a decision made by whoever was cheapest or available fastest. It's a decision made by a company that knows how to evaluate technical capability — because evaluating training effectiveness for 80,000+ people is literally what they do for a living.

The five systems Layerix deployed at RockED Bengaluru — WiFi 7, Prama CCTV, ESSL biometric access control, CommScope Cat6 structured cabling, and TP-Link PoE switching with multi-WAN failover — are the same category of infrastructure that Layerix delivers for airports, biopharma campuses, luxury residential towers, and Grade-A commercial buildings. The scale changes. The engineering discipline doesn't.

For IT companies, US-headquartered tech firms with India offices, and fast-growing startups across Bengaluru who want infrastructure that works on day one and keeps working — with an actual support team behind it — Layerix is ready to discuss your requirements.
