Reliable, fast and secure home networking.
With the ever-increasing demand for video and audio streaming services, high-performance home networking has become more critical than ever. Data-hungry services such as Netflix, Prime Video and Apple Plus are putting a massive strain on the traditional home network.
In today’s modern smart home, a well-designed and installed network is key to delivering fast, reliable and secure connectivity for all the devices you may have. It not only delivers the ability to carry out common tasks such as browsing the web, playing online games and sending emails but also provides a robust and dependable platform for your smart home system.
Wired Networks
For fixed equipment such as smart TVs, game consoles and printers, we would recommend these devices be connected, with a physical cable, to a data wall outlet. This provides the devices with a super-fast, secure and reliable connection to the network and, consequently, the internet. Wired networks also provide the backbone and foundation of all smart home installations and are therefore a necessity for most projects. Wired networks need to be designed and installed during renovation works, and electricians carry out the cabling. We provide complete design packages for third-party electrical contractors to follow, or we can carry out the works in-house. Different grades of wired networks are available depending on the client's current usage needs and future-proofing requirements.
Wireless Networks (Wi-Fi)
A robust and reliable Wi-Fi connection is required for wire-free devices such as laptops, mobile phones and wireless smart devices; the goal of any wireless network is for the ability to seamlessly roam from room to room without any decipherable loss in signal quality. Because of this, a Wi-Fi network in the modern home needs to be very carefully and meticulously designed as many factors can affect the quality of the signal you receive. Environmental elements such as stone floors and brick walls, the shape and size of rooms and other radio signals such as next doors baby monitor can all have an immense effect on your Wi-Fi performance. We mitigate these issues by surveying pre-installation, enabling us to specify a solution tailored to your property. We install Wi-Fi solutions that utilise the latest wireless technology standards and security protocols.
Fiber Optic
In an ever-changing world, the next wave of technology is only ever around the corner. CEAV is preparing for this by offering fibre optic network solutions in our projects which will future-proof your home for years to come. Fibre optic cables can be up to 60 times faster than copper cables over the same distance. This massive increase in bandwidth and performance enables vast amounts of data to be transmitted around the home. We are already seeing traditional copper cables struggling with high-quality video signals such as 4K with HDR, and the problem will only grow. With TV manufacturers starting to roll out 8K sets, the need to upgrade to fibre optic has never been greater. By investing in a fibre optic structured wiring system, you are future-proofing your home for years to come.
Professional Surveying
Environmental factors can have an immense effect on your Wi-Fi performance. We mitigate these issues by carrying out an in-depth and detailed pre-installation survey which enables us to specify a solution tailored for your property. We combine our expertise with the latest surveying hardware and software to create a virtualised heat map of the property. By considering variables such as wall density and material, room shape and size and any other local radio signals that may cause interference, we can build a detailed picture of the environment and predict the performance of equipment before work begins. Surveying enables us to position Wi-Fi transmitters in the optimal positions for total coverage of a given area. We offer this service free of charge with all our wireless networking packages.
