Interference

Homes are comprised of many different materials, including glass, wood, metal, and concrete. Many of these cause obstructions of the wireless signal, so intelligent placement of wireless access points is crucial. Drywall, plywood and glass are more easily penetrable by wireless signals, whereas metal is not. Metal pipes, sculptures, and even electronics could negatively affect your signal. Besides building materials, other signal interferences include video games, microwaves, security cameras, and Bluetooth devices. A property-wide site survey is necessary to determine what could potentially interfere with your new or upgraded home network.

Why Wireless Blinds & Shades?

The biggest draw of wireless window treatments is flexibility. Wired solutions are easiest to install before drywall is installed; otherwise, there is a lot of retrofit construction that needs to happen. But with wireless shades, we can help you design custom shading solutions before or after the walls have gone up. Plus, hard-to-reach windows in dramatic entries, stairways, and high dormer windows have long-lasting batteries that use an app to notify you when battery levels are low.

Because very minimal installation work is required, wireless shading solutions are a smaller investment of your time and resources. Your new (to you) California home can be move-in ready with the experts at Launch Systems by your side.

Staying Connected Throughout Your Whole Home Doesn’t Need to Be Complicated

Can you imagine your Orange County home without internet connectivity? Not only would that mean no remote learning or work-from-home functionality, but it would leave your house practically in the Stone Age. A smart home’s foundation is the network – both wireless and wired connections.

With an expertly installed whole-home Wi-Fi network on your Newport Beach-area property, your entire family can stay connected for entertainment, work, and school. Plus, your California home will be safer when you’re not left worrying about poor connections and dropped signals.

The Importance of Wi-Fi 6

A new generation of Wi-Fi is here: Wi-Fi 6. Not only are faster speeds possible on individual devices with this new iteration of wireless internet, but with its low latency it is the perfect solution for homes with multiple connected devices. The average home has nine connected devices, whereas when the previous generation of Wi-Fi made its debut in 1999, the average was five. That average will undoubtedly continue climbing.
