Aruba WiFi 6 & Cat6 Network for Medikabazaar | Layerix

About Medikabazaar — India's Largest B2B Healthcare Procurement Platform

Medikabazaar (operated by Boston Ivy Healthcare Solutions Pvt. Ltd.) is India's largest B2B online marketplace for medical supplies and equipment — connecting 18,000+ hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, and healthcare institutions across India with a catalogue of over 1 lakh medical products sourced from trusted manufacturers and suppliers. Founded in 2015 in Chennai,the company has raised $65M+ in funding, expanded to 55+ cities, and operates 15 fulfilment centres across India.

Behind Medikabazaar's platform are hundreds of operations, procurement, technology, and customer success team members working in real time — managing orders, coordinating supply chains, updating product catalogues, and processing payments for healthcare institutions that cannot afford delays. In a B2B healthtech company at this scale, a slow or unreliable office network is not just an IT inconvenience. It affects order processing times, customer response, and the ability of procurement managers to coordinate medical supply deliveries to hospitals that need them urgently.

Medikabazaar's Chennaioffice engaged Layerix Networking Experts— a Cisco-certified, Aruba-deploying enterprise IT infrastructure company with 40+ full-time salaried in-house engineers and a zero-subcontracting model — to deploy a complete, properly configured enterprise network infrastructure. Survey-first Aruba AP21 WiFi 6 access point deployment, correctly sized TP-Link PoE+ managed switching, multi-WAN load balancing for internet resilience, CommScope Cat6 structured cabling, and 12×6 post-deployment support. One team. Full accountability.

The Challenge — A Healthcare Procurement Platform Needs a Network That Doesn't Drop

Medikabazaar's operations team is coordinating medical supply orders in real time — procurement managers, customer success, technology, logistics, and finance all working simultaneously from the same Chennaioffice floor. Their network requirements are more demanding than a typical office:

• Wi-Fi dead zones in a fast-paced operations office: When procurement managers move between desks and meeting rooms, their laptops and mobile devices cannot drop connection mid-order. A Wi-Fi dead zone in a B2B healthcare operations office has a direct cost in delayed orders and frustrated hospital procurement contacts. Aruba AP21 WiFi 6 access points, placed from RF heatmap survey data — not guesswork — were the answer.
• Internet resilience for a business that cannot go offline: A single-ISP internet connection is a single point of failure. For a platform serving hospitals that may be placing urgent medical supply orders, an internet outage at the Chennaioffice is unacceptable. The TP-Link ER605 multi-WAN load balancer provides automatic ISP failover — if the primary connection drops, the backup link takes over without user intervention.
• Correct PoE budget for enterprise APs and office devices: Under-sizing a PoE switch is the most common office network mistake — APs that fail to power on under load, or drop back to a lower power class, degrade Wi-Fi performance without any obvious error. The TP-Link SG2428P 24-port PoE+ managed switch was sized with Layerix's 20% PoE headroom policy — enough power for all connected APs and devices at peak load, with room to grow.
• Structured cabling with proper rack and patch panel finishing: An office at this scale needs structured cabling — not ad-hoc cable runs. CommScope Cat6 to every AP drop and LAN outlet, a D-Link 9U rack, CommScope 24-port patch panel, 40 patch cords, and 10 LAN couplers — everything labelled, documented, and maintainable by any engineer, on any future date.

Layerix responded with a single-scope deployment: survey, cable, switch, AP — and 12×6 support after handover. One team. Full accountability. No "call the AP vendor for the Wi-Fi issue and the switch vendor for the PoE issue."

The Scope — Every Component Designed as a System, Not a Shopping List

The CommScope Cat6 structured cabling feeds the D-Link rack and patch panel. The TP-Link PoE+ switch powers the Aruba APs over the same Cat6 drops. The ER605 load balancer sits upstream of the switch. Every component was specified to work together — not assembled from whichever vendor was cheapest.

Three Phases — Survey, Build, Deploy, Walk-Test, Support

Layerix follows the same six-step process on every enterprise access point deployment: RF heatmap survey, AP selection and sizing, mounting and cabling, configuration, walk-test and validation, cloud onboarding and handover. For Medikabazaar's Chennaioffice, this ran across three clean phases — structured cabling and rack first, switching second, WiFi 6 AP deployment and walk-test third.

Why B2B Healthcare Tech Companies Need Enterprise-Grade Networking — Not Consumer-Grade Wi-Fi

A consumer-grade router and two cheap access points would have connected the Medikabazaar Chennaioffice to the internet. But they wouldn't have provided VLAN segmentation between office Wi-Fi and management traffic. They wouldn't have given automatic ISP failover. They wouldn't have been placed from RF heatmap data. And they definitely wouldn't have been backed by a 12×6 support line staffed by the same engineers who installed them.

Medikabazaar serves hospitals placing urgent medical supply orders. Their operations team cannot afford a network that performs intermittently, drops connections during peak hours, or has no one to call when something goes wrong. The Aruba AP21 WiFi 6 access point deployment, correctly sized TP-Link PoE+ switching, and TP-Link ER605 multi-WAN failover that Layerix deployed are enterprise infrastructure choices — made for a B2B healthcare platform that operates at scale, not a small office that's happy if the Wi-Fi mostly works.

For B2B healthcare companies, medical tech startups, hospital supply chain platforms, and healthtech enterprises across Tamil Nadulooking at an office network upgrade, Layerix's enterprise access point deployment and structured cabling services are available as a complete turnkey engagement — survey, cable, switch, AP, walk-test, and 12×6 post-deployment support. One team. One BOQ. One number to call when you need us.
