Ensure a Reliable, Fast Home Network for Your Smart Home
Today’s Smart Homes Demand a Robust Home Network
Your home network is the hub for all your smart home devices. It allows you to control the temperature, lighting, climate, entertainment, security, and more with one mobile device – tablet, wall touchpad, remote, or smartphone. To ensure that all of these systems are functioning at their peak requires a reliable home network.
A robust home network installation connects all of your smart devices to the internet and to each other. It allows the communication required for full functionality. Do you want your shades to lower at the end of the day, your lights to adjust, and the doors to lock in your Denver, CO home? To achieve all of this and more requires a solid network.
As home automation and home networking experts, we've witnessed the changing landscape of home networks. What once worked reasonably well is no longer sufficient as more advanced smart home devices take center stage. Instead, you need a reliable and secure network that ensures corner-to-corner coverage, no dropped connections during video conferencing or Wi-Fi calling, and an enjoyable evening when tuning in to streaming services and watching your 4K HDR TV.

The Backbone of Your Home Network
The core of your home network is built with four devices: routers, modems, switches, and wireless access points. The modem brings the internet into your home, and the router distributes it, directing incoming and outgoing internet traffic on your home network in the fastest and most efficient way.
A smart home with multiple devices and family members that stream online games and 4K video content requires a router that can handle high-bandwidth traffic. Additionally, high-performance switches may process your audio and video traffic at higher speeds, eliminating the buffering and lag when streaming TV shows or enjoying your favorite playlists.
Wi-Fi 6 for Smart Homes
Wi-Fi 6 changed the game for smart homes. This new standard, also called 802.11ax, offers a host of improvements. One of the most important ones is an enhanced multi-user feature called OFDMA. Now, instead of devices competing with each other to send data, each device is simultaneously scheduled to transmit data in parallel or simultaneously. This allows access points to handle traffic from multiple devices more efficiently.
With strategically placed hardwired access points in your home, you experience a reliable, strong Wi-Fi signal for any size home or estate. Now, you can count on fast and dependable internet throughout your home and into expansive yards, guesthouses, and pergolas.
Some of the best news is that this equipment features remote cloud management, allowing our technicians to monitor, upgrade, and troubleshoot your network remotely and provide 24/7 monitoring.
