Why Aurum Uses Enterprise-Grade Networking for Home Connectivity
The Digital Foundation of Modern Luxury Homes
The digital revolution has touched almost every aspect of our lives, from the ubiquitous smartphone in pockets and purses to your car and now the home. It didn't come overnight, and you are now used to it, but sometimes, we need to step back and realize its scale. In modern luxury homes, automated lighting, climate control, security, and entertainment all depend on robust, reliable connectivity. Experts predict over 50 billion connected devices by 2025—including the connected refrigerator that you didn't know you needed ten years ago—so home networks must be able to keep up with the massive increases in traffic, both internally and to the internet. That's why at Aurum Home Technology, we insist on specifying, designing, and installing enterprise-grade network solutions in our clients’ homes to serve as the foundation of your digital lifestyle.
Why Enterprise-Grade?
The distinction between consumer-grade and enterprise-grade networking is similar to that between consumer technology and business technology—it's about capability, reliability, and longevity. While consumer-grade equipment might suffice for basic connectivity, enterprise solutions offer the industrial-strength backbone that luxury properties demand. This is particularly crucial in larger homes, where basic networking equipment simply can't deliver the consistent, high-performance coverage needed across thousands of square feet of living space.
When planning a new home or renovation, the network infrastructure deserves the same careful consideration as any other critical system. Just as you wouldn't want your home's electrical or plumbing systems to not be able to handle the requirements of your home, your network infrastructure needs to be thoughtfully designed and integrated from the start.
Not All Networks Are Created Equal
Enterprise-grade networks offer several crucial advantages that directly impact daily experiences in the home that depend on connectivity:
Longevity: While consumer equipment is designed for replacement every 2-3 years, enterprise-grade components are built to last 10-20 years or more.
Advanced Security: The same level of protection used in banking and corporate environments keeps your home's digital life safe and private.
Intelligent Coverage: Using sophisticated heat mapping and professional design, we ensure consistent, strong signal coverage throughout your entire property.
Superior Performance: Enterprise-grade equipment handles dozens of simultaneous high-bandwidth activities without breaking a sweat—from multiple 4K video streaming sessions to remote work, gaming, and a network of continuously monitoring security cameras.
Configurability: The software for enterprise network gear is developed to higher, more robust standards, updated more frequently, and offers a higher degree of configurability.
Professional Tools for Professional Results
At Aurum, we approach network design with the same precision we bring to any high-performance home system. Enterprise-grade networks require sophisticated management of multiple wireless frequencies (2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz), each serving different purposes and device types. Unlike consumer solutions that take a one-size-fits-all approach, our systems allow precise control over each frequency band.
Take, for example, a large home with multiple access points. The 2.4GHz signal, which travels farther but at slower speeds, might only need two or three access points for complete coverage. However, the faster 5GHz and 6GHz bands, which travel less far, require more strategic placement. Using enterprise-grade Ruckus access points, we can fine-tune the power and coverage of each frequency band independently. This prevents your devices from staying connected to distant access points when closer ones would provide better performance—a common issue with consumer-grade equipment.
The backbone of this system consists of enterprise-grade components wired back to commercial-quality switches and routers. For network security, we implement the same level of protection used in banking and corporate environments. Our systems provide defensive firewalls and much more, protecting against advanced threats while allowing us to monitor and manage your network remotely.
Why is remote monitoring and management important? In a large, complex home with many connected systems, it’s important to proactively identify and resolve issues before they affect your experience. Remote monitoring can surface any unusual activity that might indicate security concerns, fine-tune network performance, push security updates and patches, and help adjust the system based on usage patterns.
