Proper Cabling is Necessary for Today’s Tech
If you want a seamless home technology experience—for convenience, productivity, entertainment, or security—you need a quality wiring/cabling plan. Design (or redesign) your home thoughtfully for seamless connectivity and peak performance, both for the tech experiences you want now and the ones you dream about.
In many homes, old wiring is impeding new technology. Slow load times and poor connectivity can ruin productivity when working from home. Your free time can become an aggravating struggle instead of a relaxing one-button entertainment experience. Or the automations you create for convenience and security can fail their core purposes because they are unreliable.
Get Your Tech’s Full Potential
Consumer technology gets more awesome every day. OLED TVs, 4K projectors, and home theater tech have quickly become mainstays. The problem is that many people who buy these devices don’t have the network or cabling infrastructure to see their advertised capabilities. Even if you buy all the latest cinematic toys for your media room, you can’t enjoy your TV’s rich, vibrant color display without the right cabling and calibration.
Unless your home was built after 2018, its wiring probably can’t support the full capabilities of the devices you rely on every day. Many of us live in homes built during the late 1970s building boom and still have the same basic wiring, even though we now live completely different lifestyles! Sophisticated devices struggle unless they have the fast data flow from more recent low voltage wiring, such as Cat6 or fiber optic cabling.
Low voltage wiring can run signals all over your home in a safer and more energy-efficient way. Low voltage wiring carries less than 50 volts, far less than traditional wiring, which can carry up to 240 volts. A comprehensive low voltage network is essential for new construction and renovations to ensure that all AV devices perform as expected throughout the home.
Maximize Home Automation
The age of smart home automation is here. Home Automation Networks elevate our quality of living and create more free time. You can create programs to make your most repeated tasks faster, error-free, or automatic. Then create perfect settings for unwinding after your work is done: play games, relax to music, watch sports, or immerse yourself in a show or movie.
Well-crafted smart home design gives function to your home so that it operates like a living, breathing organism: each integrated part plays a crucial role. With a voice command or the swipe of a mobile device, you can control your environment—shades, lighting, temperature, screens, cameras, and audio.
But your lighting, security, audio, video, and other automation features are also only as effective as the cabling in your walls. The wiring and WiFi serve as your home’s central nervous system, sending the electrical signals that make each part of your home automation control system work seamlessly.
Design your home with intention—rather than treating cabling as an afterthought—and you’ll save time, money, and frustration.
Customize Your Network to Your Needs
Planning your home network is a personal process, but you can use a professional to help you look into your future. Cabling decisions depend on your entertainment and productivity needs, the size and age of your home, and the setup of your rooms. We can recommend wiring, pathways, and access points to meet your needs now and in the future.
Some questions to consider when upgrading a home network:
- How many people work from home?
- Is your family growing up or moving out?
- Do you plan to sell your home in the next 5-10 years?
- Are you tech savvy, or would you benefit from home tech monitoring?
- Is your yard a current or potential outdoor entertainment space?
- Do you need outdoor lighting for curb appeal, entertainment, or security?
- Does your dream home have a home theater or golf simulator?
- Do you have smaller spaces where a 4K short throw projector would work better?
Consult with Revelation AV® to upgrade your cabling to best support your tech. Whether it’s a one-day installation service or a whole house upgrade for peak connectivity everywhere, we’re here to help you get the best out of your home and technology.
Strengthen Your WiFi
“What’s your WiFi info?” When your guests ask this question, it’s a reminder that your WiFi network needs to support high speeds with multiple connected devices without missing a beat.
Friends and family shouldn’t have to fight for bandwidth. Whether providing daily support for everyone’s devices, building a home theater, or maximizing work productivity throughout your home, update your cabling. Get the solid foundation you need to enjoy today’s tech and be ready for tomorrow’s marvels.
Investing in WiFi optimization is one of the most practical steps you can take because you use it daily for work, study, and leisure. You’ll get a strong, reliable signal without using WiFi extenders, which can actually slow down your network speeds.
How do you know if your network cabling is giving you problems?
- Do you see pixelation on your HD television?
- Does your home office have spotty WiFi, even with an extender?
- Are long loading times ruining your streaming experience?
- Are your new devices not performing as promised?
If you invest in great technology for your home, don’t sabotage your experience by ignoring what’s in your walls. Upgrading wiring/cabling is a wise investment for people who love their tech.
Builders: Construct a Better Future
Builders should always carefully design a home’s cabling network. Both new construction projects and renovations can be designed to maximize information flow while hiding cables and multiple access points. Most importantly, good cabling design in the building/rebuilding process minimizes the need for future disruptions to walls and finishes!
If you’re not wiring for modern needs, you’re losing potential profits. Make your properties more valuable with cabling that supports current and future technology. Consult with Revelation AV® to make proper cabling a part of your residential or commercial construction process.
