Enjoy Seamless Connectivity Across Your Entire Property

There was a time when our home network connected a desktop, maybe a few laptops, and some smartphones to the internet. Times have definitely changed. 

Today’s smart homes may contain up to 200 or more connected devices, and many of these devices run simultaneously. From motorized shades to lighting, climate control, home entertainment, security systems, and much more, our Missouri homes have become an interconnected ecosystem that requires constant communication. 

Family members stream stunning 4K HDR video, connect to high-res playlists on TIDAL, play high-definition video games, and conduct video conference calls simultaneously. We ask a lot from our home networks. 

If your network came from an internet service provider, chances are that as more connected devices found their way into your home, connectivity problems began emerging. Dropped connections, slow speeds, and buffering are just a few of the signs that suggest a congested bandwidth. This congestion resembles Kansas City’s I-35 at rush hour, a traffic jam on your internet highway.

Fortunately, there is a solution. It’s called an enterprise-grade home network installation.
