A Structured Wiring Infrastructure future-proofs your home in two ways.
The first is by installing jacks and wall plates where you need them today, as well as, installing connections where you'll want them in the future as your needs (and technologies) change.
The second is through the versatility and adaptability of a structured wiring system. The cable and phone companies are spending billions of dollars on each other's technologies in an effort to try and be a one-stop shop. They want to sell you phone service, cable TV, and High-Speed Internet all together, and at a substantial discount (all of the services will be traveling down a single cable/wire). The best (and maybe only) way to make sure you can take advantage of these savings is to have Structured Wiring installed in your new home.
 |
There are several reasons to install structured wiring in your new home. | |
|
Increases the value of your home. | |
|
You can share all of your audio and video devices from any room in the house. | |
|
All of your homes PC's, peripherals and home entertainment devices can communicate with one another. | |
|
All of your PC's can share a single high-speed Cable or DSL Modem. You only need one ISP account at your home. | |
|
Virtually eliminates telephone cross-talk inside your new home (so you won't be hearing someone else's conversations across multiple phone lines, AND THEY WON'T HEAR YOURS!) | |
|
SAVES YOU MONEY through adaptability as technology changes! | |
|
SAVES YOU MONEY by not having to purchase multiple video and computer components! |
Think of wiring like a hose or a pipe that handles water. The TV cable and telephone wire coming to your home is equivalent to a fire hose. Standard (electrician grade) TV cable and connectors are like a garden hose. Standard phone wire (and Cat3), and the connectors, are like a squirt gun.
The problem is that when TV signals (like HDTV) and telephone services become completely digital, these faster, clearer and better signals will require a bigger hose or pipe. (Proper Structured Wiring Systems, keep the wiring system inside your home the same speed as the fire hose coming into the house).
Within the next couple of years digital cable and HDTV will become standard, and the speed of the Internet continues to get faster, without a proper structured wiring system you won't be able to take advantage of ANY of these resources.
Structured wiring systems can handle MORE INFORMATION and TRANSMIT IT FASTER!
Video equipment such as: DVD players, VCRs, cameras and PC’s, can be shared and distribute video through out your whole house. Connecting these devices to the video cable that goes back to your Central Distribution Panel, and your DVDs can be watched on ANY TV or digital screen in your house! (The same can be done with a closed circuit security camera on your front porch or facing the kid's swing set in your backyard.
A Structured Wiring System allows you to network 2,3,4 or more computers together to share resources.
Have a laser printer at your office computer? The kids can print their school reports to it from their bedrooms or a media center, or you could print recipes to it from the kitchen.
Out of hard drive space in an older computer? Save files on the huge hard drive in the new computer - over the network wiring!
Thinking of installing DSL Internet or ultra-high-speed Cable Internet? Share that FAST Internet connection with EVERY COMPUTER IN YOUR HOME using your in-house network!
If you need one more reason - check into the cost of adding a few wires to connect 2-3 computers (to share the internet) after your walls are finished.
People are finding that one of the best uses of an "in-house" network is that the whole house can share a single high-speed Internet connection such as a cable of DSL modem.
By adding a Cable/DSL Router, you can share that high-speed connection with multiple computers in your new home.
Mom can be e-mailing friends from the kitchen, Dad can be checking investments or finishing up that big work project in his den, and the kids can be researching their school homework in their bedrooms or the family room - ALL AT THE SAME TIME!
You can ALSO SHARE expensive devices such as: laser & color inkjet printers, extra large hard drives, tape drives, and CD-Rom & DVD drives.
Experts and researchers alike predict that, by the year 2005, 40% or more new houses will have Structured Wiring systems installed in them. Taking into account that Digital & HDTV will become standard over the next couple of years, and the amazing growth of the Internet, if you don't install Structured Wiring in your new house you will probably have fewer people interested in buying it!
Having a certified Smartshack structured wiring system in your home, you'll have the piece of mind knowing that your home will retain it's value for many years to come. Don't let technology pass you by.
