Smart, Intelligent, Future proof........Homes!
Overview
Call it what you want, but simply put it's the way forward. All future TVs, satellite receivers, computers, Hi-Fi's and even fridges will want to talk to each other, you and most importantly the Internet. Why, well why not? You will have access to unlimited knowledge, unlimited movies, unlimited music all at your fingertips. Your fridge will tell you what to and how to cook dinner. You can listen to that song you have not heard for 'x' years and then go watch a film on a totally flat TV with incredible cinema sound when you want to relax. It's the future....but it is here now so why wire a house with a few coax and telephone cables when a house wired with Cat5e or Cat6 cable will allow you to own a much more advanced and future proof house. Now nobody knows exactly what is round the corner, but by 'flood wiring' your home the option is there at least for you to be 'near-future proof' It seems that the biggest enemy of future proofing is bandwidth. i.e. how much data you can get down one cable at a time. Well flood wiring is another name for putting more cables in than you need - Now, but not later. Installing two cables to every data point means you have more capacity and more redundancy. This in turn gets you a bit closer to the future proofed house you need.
We can wire a new house, or re-wire an old. Working with your architects and electrical engineering contractor we can design you the best home for today and certainly one of the best homes for tomorrow.
So what do you get? Well its up to you and being honest about it, your wallet. The sky is the limit! The trick is wiring. Spend as much as you can getting the wiring (infrastructure) in at an early stage. Yes you could put everything else in now too, but if you want to budget it out then leave all the other parts until later, until the house is built, the kitchen is in, the lawn is sown etc.....just get the wiring right now!
Each customer wants different things. We have wired simple systems for TV, Data and music in each room right up to a fully automatic intelligently aware building. It really is the stuff of old 'Tomorrows World' programs, and it's now.
