Smart Hands IT Support in Singapore for Overseas Teams

Megatron Technology provides smart hands IT support across Singapore, with limited coverage in Kuala Lumpur, for overseas IT teams that need certified network engineers on the ground. Most of our current smart hands work is in data centres, where partners ship routers to us to be installed or replaced. We receive drop-shipped equipment, configure and stage it, then deliver and install it on site while your remote engineers stay in control. We can also store your routers locally, so you can redeploy them without repeat import and export shipping and customs costs.

Megatron Technology is an authorised Cisco Networking Partner and Managed Services Provider in Singapore (est. 1990), and a Fortinet reseller. We have worked with overseas teams to implement networks in Singapore and Malaysia for over a decade.

What's Included

In general, a junior network engineer is assigned to tasks like these. Our certified engineers are trained in WAN and LAN technologies, and can give your team useful insight during installation and troubleshooting.

• Basic network troubleshooting, directed by your remote team
• Connecting and disconnecting devices and cables
• Mounting and dismounting devices (rack and stack)
• Local console access and local web access to devices for your remote engineers
• Router installation and replacement in data centres
• Receiving, configuring and staging drop-shipped equipment
• Local storage of your routers for redeployment
• A complete sign-off document after each visit

Data Centre Smart Hands

Most of our current smart hands jobs are in Singapore data centres. Partners ship routers to us, and we install them or replace existing units on site, working with your remote engineers throughout.

• Router installation and replacement
• Rack and stack: mounting and dismounting devices
• Cabling and patching to your equipment
• Local console access for your remote engineers while they configure and test
• Holding removed or spare units locally if you want to redeploy them later

Receiving Drop-Shipped Equipment and Staging

Ship equipment to our Singapore office instead of straight to site. We receive it, configure and stage it to your instructions, then deliver it and install it on site. Your team gets a confirmed, ready-to-install unit on the day, and you don't need to fly an engineer from overseas or talk a non-technical person through the work.

Local Spares Storage for Redeployment

If you replace routers in Singapore or move equipment between sites, we can store your routers locally. When you need one, we redeploy it here instead of shipping it out of the country and back in again, which helps you avoid repeat import and export shipping and customs costs. We don't give customs or tax advice, so please check the treatment of your own shipments with your freight forwarder.

How It Works

1. Send us the scope: the site or data centre, the tasks, the equipment list, your preferred dates and your remote contact.
2. We confirm the scope and the rate card that applies, and assign an engineer.
3. If needed, you ship the equipment to our Singapore office. We receive, configure and stage it.
4. On the day, our engineer works on site with your remote team, doing the physical work and giving local console or web access.
5. We complete the sign-off document and send it to your team. If you want, we store spare or removed units for later redeployment.

Who It's For

We work with local and international IT teams, and with partners who ship equipment to Singapore, who need support on the ground during and outside business hours. We understand how to work with remote technical support teams and what a complete, useful sign-off document needs. Our engineers work in English and Chinese.

Coverage

• Singapore: all of Singapore, including data centres
• Malaysia: limited support in Kuala Lumpur only. We don't cover the rest of Malaysia.

Recent Work

We constantly work with partners in USA, UK, Hong Kong, China for projects in Singapore.
