Networks

The success of any home technology solution is based around the infrastructure that it is built on. The ability to stream audio, video and data around a building, quickly and without interference is key. We will use wireless networks where appropriate but we, as a rule, will always recommend a hardwired solution wherever physically possible because of the increased speed and robustness.

The network needs to be able to support the levels of activity today but also be able to cope with the demands of new technologies as they come on stream e.g. HDTV, VoIP, Broadband, Multiroom audio/video. Redundancy and capacity needs to be designed in at the beginning of the project.

Our networks are built around industry standard protocols and managed using hardware from the leading manufacturers, including Cisco and 3 Com.
