Point-to-point wiring is all too common, even in some smart home and office installations today. This setup risks being unable to carry the heavy data load in high-bandwidth applications, but transmitting bandwidth is paramount to a successful integrated home. 

In case you haven’t already guessed, we recommend structured cabling to not only solve this issue but also clean up unsightly wires and support future updates to your smart home. In this blog, we’ll compare point-to-point wiring with structured cabling and share some insights regarding why we highly suggest structured cabling and how AV Design Consultants can help you implement it in your Fort Smith, AR, home. 

Reduce Unnecessary Costs and Network Failures from the Start

One of the many benefits of a smart home is the integration of virtually limitless technologies for easy, convenient control. From the screen of your smartphone, an in-wall keypad, or even by voice, you can instantly command an array of events to happen simultaneously throughout your home so you can get on with living.

We all love to talk about the bells and whistles of smart home technology. But have you ever considered how such a successful system works behind the scenes? Just as a building relies on a solid foundation, a smart home system relies on a strong structured cabling infrastructure to work the way it’s meant to.

If your smart home is built around faulty, unorganized cabling, you’ll run the risk of unnecessary expenses, slow data transmission, and even network failures. To avoid these issues as you design or expand your smart home in Fayetteville, AR, follow our four best practices below.

But there’s something else that many homeowners can benefit from; part of the discussion that may be less exciting but may also have a bigger impact on your entire system.
