Layer3 Systems Limited specialises in broadcast and media networking environments. Increasingly over the last ten years broadcast media and the Internet have increasingly integrated to a point where it is sometimes hard to tell where television ends and the Internet starts.

Formed in 1995 Layer3 develops computer networks and systems in highly demanding, high performance mission critical or broadcast chain environments. The company was formed to specialise in the niche area of broadcast and the Internet. Around this central core of technology the need to link various co-operating companies together has led us to develop some very secure low cost methods to safely interconnect communicating systems.

Over the last few years we have expanded our offerings to include consultancy, Services and now a small range of networking products.Our consultancy allows us to provide personnel capable of designing the architecture for higly scalable, high performance systems. We can develop or enhance local area or wide area networks, providing the design capability to ensure a robust and secure design. Our skills extend to the negotiation and purchase of network links and the management of movement of systems between sites.

We provide individuals or small teams who are experienced at implementing change in technical environments small or large, local or global.

We have a range of standard services that encompass areas as diverse as complete computer site review through integration of systems down to fault finding within systems or networks. We have a major investment in the understanding of not just the network and the systems but also the application layer too!

Our product range is still in its beginings, however we have a network monitoring tool that is being used by a major broadcaster, the control system for which runs on Sun hardware.

We have a number of strategic partners and we can usually provide a complete solution to any problem, providing a single point of contact where required.
