About H2 Technologies

Leadership
Austin Hadley, Founder and Chief Executive Officer
Austin Hadley founded H2 Technologies in 2023 and leads its engagements directly. Clients work with the engineer who does the analysis rather than a salesperson who relays it, which is the practical reason the firm can take on network, software, and security questions in the same conversation instead of routing each to a different vendor.
He operates AS17290, a public autonomous system, and publishes its BGP routing policy openly, including the RPKI, IRR, and Letter of Authority validation required before a route is accepted. That document is the most direct evidence available of how infrastructure work is approached here: filtering that is explicit, registrations that are maintained, and decisions that another operator could review.
The same standard applies to the written material on this site. The technical guides are written to be useful to someone evaluating a decision without hiring anybody, and the frequently asked questions say plainly where the answer is “it depends” rather than manufacturing certainty.
Areas of technical focus

- IPv6 deployment

- Network segmentation and firewall policy

Based in Ashland, Ohio, with onsite coverage across Ashland, Richland, and Wayne counties and remote delivery statewide.

We look for approaches that remove a problem rather than manage it, and we recommend the simpler option when a newer one would add cost without adding value.

Collaboration
We believe in the power of teamwork and open communication.
