IT support for Los Alamitos
Los Alamitos is a compact city on the Long Beach border, home to a joint forces training base, aerospace and defense suppliers, commercial printers, corporate offices and light industry. Defense-related businesses here face strict data protection and compliance requirements.
Katella Avenue, Los Alamitos Boulevard and the businesses between them
Los Alamitos is about four square miles, and a large part of it is Joint Forces Training Base Los Alamitos. Nearly all of the city’s office, retail and public buildings sit on two streets. Katella Avenue runs east from the 605, with light-industrial buildings between Bloomfield Street and Lexington Drive. Los Alamitos Boulevard is the main north–south route and connects to the 405 and the 22 just south of the city. Both are the city’s designated truck routes, and a planned-industrial district sits east of the Boulevard.
The employer list is unusual for a city this size. The city’s 2022 financial report names an aerospace parts maker on Katella Avenue, two large commercial printers, and an electronics company whose U.S. headquarters is on the Katella Office Campus. Each kind of business puts different demands on its network:
- Aerospace and defense suppliers handle controlled unclassified information and need documented access controls, audit logs and a path to CMMC compliance
- Printing and prepress shops move very large files all day, so internal network speed, storage and backups decide whether press schedules hold
- Office tenants along Katella need Microsoft 365 set up properly, secure Wi-Fi and phones that keep working when a circuit drops
From our Huntington Beach office it’s about 11 miles up the 405 and the 605, an easy drive for a planned visit or an urgent one.
A built-out city and the plan for Pine Street
The city’s Economic Development Strategic Plan, a five-year roadmap for 2024 to 2029, describes Los Alamitos as essentially built out, with virtually no vacant land. It names UCI Health – Los Alamitos as the largest employer, with more than 1,000 staff, and counts 850 full-time employees at Joint Forces Training Base Los Alamitos. New business will come from reusing existing sites, such as about 2.4 acres of commercial and office space at 5030–5090 Katella Avenue, and from a pedestrian-oriented Town Center around Pine Street, the one-block corridor near Katella Avenue and Los Alamitos Boulevard. The city also plans monthly business visits and a New Business Welcome Program with the Chamber of Commerce.
In a city with no empty land, most businesses move into a space someone else wired. Before you open or relocate here, we check the existing cabling and network closet, confirm which internet providers serve the address and set up Microsoft 365, devices and backups so they are working on opening day.
