Featured Projects
Most IT companies hand you off to a technician who’s never seen your setup. We don’t. Every project is handled personally by the founder.
We cover the full stack, web design, networking, hardware, and cloud, so you never juggle vendors. And we explain everything in plain language, with no jargon.

What Our Clients Say
Our start-up was in launch mode, and we hired Function Key to build a scalable site aligned with our unique needs & challenges. Joao did so quickly, thoroughly and in a very customer-focused way. Hiring them was one of our best decisions.
I was amazed since we had been battling our internet system not working reliably for so long, La Maida being such an old building and vast space. I was impressed with how Joao knew immediately what cutting edge devices would solve the problem, worked so efficiently in short time to get the system installed, and he’s such a nice guy to work with

Network Infrastructure
La Maida Institute is a 6,500 Sq. Ft. building that always had network problems. Due to it’s considerable size and very thick walls, Wi-Fi implementation was very tricky.
With the use of the newest technology, Function Key was able to overcome all the connectivity issues and create a seamless wireless network that covers the entire property with no dead spots.
Scope
Wireless Network, Mesh Wi-Fi, TCP IP
