Learn how our designs focus on meeting the demands of your streaming and remote work video conferences.

Online access provides your home with an almost infinite array of entertainment options, from 4K streaming movies from Netflix and Dolby Atmos music from Spotify to news and social media. While your home’s router is hardwired, most people utilize a wireless connection.

It’s A Wireless World
If you look around the room you are in, you can likely spot at least five devices that rely on WiFi in some way. The average home is reported to contain 20-30 units, including phones and tablets, media dongles, light switches, and smart speakers.
While wireless communication is convenient, allowing you to roam freely while watching a movie or TV show without worrying about wires, it has limitations. WiFi transmits over small bands of radio frequencies, and the number of devices that can connect and the amount of data possible is limited.
As with any radio, interference from other wireless units, neighbors routers, or even some older electronics can inhibit the signal, further degradi.ng speed and reliability.
Places Everybody!
We tend to think that radio waves, like those from a local station, are everywhere. Just like those from a local station, all we have to do is set up an antenna and tune in. The reality is that all sorts of obstacles can affect or block these signals from reaching you. Anyone who relies on GPS knows the frustration of losing signal in a no cell tower community; you have to drive blind until the connection returns.
Our certified network design team conducts a review of your home’s structure, layout, and an RF spectrum scan to determine the best placement of hardware. Where a router is installed directly influences how well it will perform for you while making sure the aesthetics of your home are not disturbed.
