Who deploys network infrastructure across bank and credit union branches nationwide?
SRS Networks is a nationwide infrastructure deployment contractor headquartered in South San Francisco, California, that installs and supports branch network infrastructure for banks, credit unions, and financial institutions. Crews deploy structured cabling, switching, firewalls, branch WiFi, teller and ATM connectivity, IP cameras, and access control to one written standard across all 48 contiguous states. SRS Networks has deployed 150+ bank branches and has operated since 1996. Institutions engage SRS Networks directly, and core-banking, ATM, and security integrators engage it as the white-label field arm behind their own branch programs.
- Deployments
- 150+ bank branches deployed.
- Coverage

What Goes Wrong Without a Branch Deployment Partner?
Financial institutions operate under some of the strictest regulatory frameworks in the world. Yet most branch networks are a patchwork of aging infrastructure, inconsistent configurations, and uncoordinated security - leaving compliance gaps that auditors and attackers both find.
PCI-DSS Compliance Gaps
Every branch location needs to meet PCI-DSS requirements for cardholder data. One misconfigured switch, one unsegmented network, and your entire institution is exposed to compliance violations and fines.
Branch Network Inconsistency
Your flagship location runs enterprise-grade infrastructure while a satellite branch still operates on aging consumer hardware. Inconsistent networks mean inconsistent security and unpredictable performance.
Secure Connectivity Demands
Teller systems, ATM networks, and internal applications all require encrypted, segmented connectivity. A single point of failure can halt transactions across multiple branches simultaneously.
ATM & Teller System Downtime
When ATM networks go down or teller workstations lose connectivity, customers walk out and revenue stops. Every minute of downtime costs money and erodes trust.
Multi-Vendor Security Sprawl
Firewalls from one vendor, switches from another, wireless from a third - with no centralized management. Coordinating security patches and firmware updates across dozens of branches becomes a compliance nightmare.
Hardened Infrastructure.

The Standards Behind Every Branch We Deploy
Branch infrastructure is examined against published security and cabling standards. These are the sources behind the compliance claims on this page.
PCI DSS
PCI Security Standards Council
Payment card security requirements applying to card-present transactions, ATM networks, and teller payment paths.
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (Safeguards Rule)
Federal Trade Commission
The federal rule requiring financial institutions to protect customer information, including the systems it moves across.
NIST Cybersecurity Framework
NIST
The control framework most examiners map branch network segmentation and monitoring expectations back to.
ANSI/TIA-568
Telecommunications Industry Association
The commercial cabling standard every certified branch cabling run is tested and documented against.
SRS Networks installs and documents to these published standards. Links go to the issuing body so you can verify the requirement yourself - we are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or accredited by any organization listed unless stated elsewhere on this site.
What the Branch Infrastructure Terms Actually Mean
The vocabulary that comes up on branch scoping calls, defined the way it gets used on a bank or credit union deployment.
- Cardholder Data Environment (CDE)
- The systems, network segments, and cabling that store, process, or transmit payment card data inside a branch. Anything connected to the CDE falls into PCI DSS scope, which is why teller, ATM, guest WiFi, and camera traffic get separated physically and logically during a branch deployment.
- Interactive Teller Machine (ITM)
- A lobby or drive-up terminal that handles standard ATM transactions and also connects the customer to a live remote teller over two-way video. An ITM needs more than an ATM footprint: dedicated cabling, uplink headroom, and a low-latency video path back to the teller center.
- Teller Cash Recycler (TCR)
- A machine at the teller line that accepts, authenticates, stores, and re-dispenses cash under teller control. Each recycler needs its own network drop and conditioned power at a fixed position in the millwork, so its location is set during branch design rather than after the furniture lands.
- Core Processor Connection
- The circuit linking a branch to the institution's core banking platform, where accounts and transactions actually post. Branch deployments treat this path as the critical one: diverse or backup connectivity, its own segment, and documented failover testing before the branch is handed over.
- Pneumatic Tube System
- The carrier system that moves deposits between drive-up lanes and the teller line. Each lane also carries intercom audio, a customer-facing camera, and often a display, so the tube run and the low-voltage cabling out to the island get coordinated as one scope during construction.
- After-Hours ATM Vestibule
- The card-access lobby that keeps an ATM reachable when the branch is closed. It combines a reader, door controller, cameras, duress signaling, and lighting on circuits that stay live after hours, which makes it one of the most cable-dense areas in the building.
- FFIEC IT Examination
- The information technology examination federal banking regulators conduct against Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council handbooks. Examiners ask how branch networks are segmented, monitored, and documented, so as-built drawings, port maps, and cable test results become evidence the institution presents rather than reconstructs.
- Alarm Line Supervision
- Continuous electrical monitoring of an alarm circuit so cutting, shorting, or disconnecting the line raises a signal instead of silently disabling protection. Vault, safe, and holdup devices in a branch ride supervised circuits, which constrains how those runs are pathed, terminated, and tested.
