The VAR Deployment Partner That Becomes Your Field Team
You sell the hardware and win the project. We execute the installation — structured cabling, rack and stack, wireless, staging, and certified close-out — under your brand, in all 48 contiguous states. No field bench required on your payroll.
One MSA, one rate card, one project manager. Fluke-certified testing on every link, COI audited before every dispatch. NET 30.
SRS Networks is a nationwide VAR deployment partner headquartered in Salinas, California, executing the field installation layer for value-added resellers across all 48 contiguous states since 1996. We've delivered 500+ deployments across 5,000+ sites with in-house W-2 leads and a vetted W-9 subcontractor bench — every project staged through our configuration centers and tracked live in our Project Command Center. For VARs with no field crew of their own, we are the standing install arm behind every deal you close.
You sold the project. Who installs it?
Mid-size VARs win deals on relationships, pricing, and product expertise — not on a payroll full of cabling techs. The install is where the margin you quoted goes to die. Four ways it usually happens:
Subcontractor roulette in every metro
Every new client geography means sourcing, vetting, and babysitting a different local installer — and the one who was great in Denver doesn't exist in Charlotte. Your PM spends the project managing strangers instead of managing the client.
Drop-ship chaos at the dock
Gear shipped direct to sites gets lost, signed for by the wrong person, or sits in a back room for three weeks. Drop-ship fails roughly 1 in 6 times on first attempt at scale — and every failure is a schedule slip your client blames on you.
No certified close-out package
The local sub says “it works” and leaves. No Fluke reports, no as-builts, no labeled port schedule. Six months later your client's next project starts with hours of toning — and your name is on the install.
Margin leaks on every re-work
Failed drops, missed inspections, COI gaps that stall a jobsite for a day — re-work and idle time come out of the project margin you quoted. One bad sub can turn a profitable install into a break-even apology.
The fix isn't hiring a field org you can't keep busy. It's a standing deployment partner who already has one — the same model our MSP partners run every day.
What SRS executes behind your quote.
Everything between your client's signed PO and a certified, documented, working install. We don't sell hardware and we don't touch your resale margin — the gear stays on your paper.
Structured cabling
Cat6, Cat6A, Cat8, and fiber — pulled, terminated, dressed, and labeled to TIA/EIA-606-B at every site on the list.
Structured cablingRack and stack
Rack install, switch and router mount, power coordination, cable management, and MDF/IDF buildout to your design.
MDF/IDF buildoutWireless deployment
AP installs, heat-map validation, controller coordination, and post-install survey — on the gear you sold.
WiFi deploymentStaging and configuration
Your hardware routed through our Salinas configuration center: asset-tagged, configured, labeled by site, shipped pre-staged.
How we track itCertified testing
Fluke DSX-8000 on every copper link, OLTS/OTDR on fiber. Failures re-terminated before the crew leaves the site.
Testing standardDocumentation at close
As-builts, port-to-panel schedules, pass reports, and site photos — delivered on your template, under your brand.
White-label close-outThe staging step is the one VARs underestimate.
Route your hardware through our Salinas configuration center — or our East Coast staging facility for eastern rollouts — and it arrives at the site asset-tagged, configured, labeled, and matched to the install schedule. Drop-ship to a site fails roughly 1 in 6 times at scale; pre-staged shipments fail under 1 in 50. That gap is the difference between a clean rollout and a quarter of schedule apologies.
How a standing VAR partnership runs.
Not a per-project bid scramble. A standing agreement that makes every quote you send faster and every install you deliver predictable — built on the same white-label deployment model we've run for channel partners since the early 2000s.
White-label by default
Our crews execute as your field team — your apparel, your documentation templates, your branding. Non-circumvention is written into the MSA: your client is your client, every time.
One rate card, signed once
Unit pricing for drops, fiber, racks, APs, and staging, plus T&M for change orders. You know your install cost before you quote the client — no per-project bid roulette.
One project manager
A single SRS PM owns your account across every project and every state. One phone number for scoping, scheduling, escalation, and close-out — not a dispatch queue.
Project Command Center
Every site tracked live at app.srsnetworks.com — tech check-ins, photos, punch items, COI audits, and close-out docs. Exportable to your PSA or shared co-branded with your client.
From first call to standing field team.
Onboarding typically runs 5-10 business days. If you have a live deal pending, we compress it around the real project. The full checklist lives on how to become a partner.
1. Intro call
Tell us what you sell, where your clients are, and what your current install pain looks like. Thirty minutes, no deck.
2. MSA + rate card
NDA, master agreement, white-label requirements, COI exchange, and the unit rate card you'll quote against.
3. Pilot project
Most partners start with one site to test the fit. Same crews, same PM, same close-out standard as a 200-site program.
4. Standing partner
From there, every deal you close has a field team behind it. You quote with confidence; we deploy on schedule.
Already have a field org? You want overflow, not a partner.
This page is for VARs who have no field bench and want a standing deployment partner behind every deal. If you're a national VAR with W-2 install crews who just runs thin in tier-2 metros or during Q4 crunch, that's a different engagement model — surge capacity alongside your existing org, not in place of one.

What VAR owners and sales VPs ask us before signing the first MSA.
Close the next deal knowing the install is covered.
Tell us what you sell and where your clients are. We'll send the rate card, walk you through the white-label model, and scope your first project — usually inside one business day.
