The Network Behind Every Room.

Networking, wiring, racks and power: the hidden foundation of every system, planned with the residence and built to be forgotten.

Home network installation is the hidden foundation of every system in the house. We plan enterprise-grade networking and home Wi-Fi installation with the rest of the residence, so control, music, video, cameras and lighting all have something reliable to stand on.

Every room, wired back to one rack.

Home Wi-Fi installation starts with copper in the walls: the drawing below is the shape of almost every network we plan.

  1. ISP to rack

    One incoming line, brought to a single equipment rack in the garage.

  2. Rack to switches

    The core of the network sits in the rack, powered and protected.

  3. Switches to access points

    Ceiling access points, placed from the plans so every room is covered.

  4. Wired drops

    Every TV, panel and camera gets its own cable back to the rack.

  5. Their own network

    Cameras and controllers live on a separate network from guests.

What stands on it.

Six promises hold up everything above the network.

The foundation

Everything else in the house is a layer on top of it.

  • Wired first: every fixed device on copper or fibre
  • Wi-Fi access points placed from the plans
  • Separate networks for guests, cameras and control
  • Monitored remotely
  • Clean power, UPS and surge protection

Every system in the home is designed with the others in mind. These are a few of the everyday moments where they meet.

Do you also handle home Wi-Fi installation and the network behind it?

Yes. Home network installation is planned with the rest of the residence from the start, not added afterward, because a reliable network forms the foundation of every connected experience in the home. We design enterprise-grade networking and Wi-Fi for every system that depends on it.

Why does the network matter so much?

Every other system in the home stands on it: control, music, video, cameras and lighting. We plan networking, wiring, racks and power with the rest of the residence, so everything above it has something reliable to stand on.
