Starting in 1984 with a dial-up BBS — arguably one of the earliest forms of social media — Drag/Net Systems has spent four decades figuring out how signals get from one place to another: cleanly, reliably, and without anyone downstream having to think about it. Broadcast transmission, cable infrastructure, enterprise networks, media workflows — different eras, same instinct.
Capabilities
Network Infrastructure
Multi-gigabit Ethernet networks, multi-VLAN routing, LAN-WAN architecture, firewalls, and remote VPN — designed and implemented end to end.
Broadcast Engineering
Transmitters (VHF, UHF, microwave, satellite), RF distribution, audio/video switching and routing, MPEG compression, and SMPTE 2110 media-over-IP.
Media Workflow
File-based media transfer workflows across LAN, WAN, and FTP — built to feel simple on the surface no matter how much is happening underneath.
Broadband & Telecom
DOCSIS and VoIP integration, hybrid IP/digital/analog telephone systems, tested and certified to spec.
Infrastructure & Systems
Servers, editing and playback infrastructure, domain controllers, virtualization, and mass storage — installed, configured, and kept running.
Project & Operations
Capital and operating budgets, contractor and vendor management, and the unglamorous logistics that make large installs actually happen.
