The substrate.
Quiet about it.
The network is what every other system depends on — automation, AV, security, climate, working from home, the kids' streaming. Designed to the home's footprint at framing, wired backbone with wireless overlay, redundant where it matters, and quiet about it.
Designed at framing.
Invisible afterward.
Most luxury homes treat networking as something the AV trade picks up on its way through — a router in the closet, a few access points scattered around, a hope and a prayer that the lighting control will stay online. The result is a network that works fine on day one and starts dying around month six, with the homeowner calling support every Friday night because the streaming dropped.
We design the network at the architectural stage. Cable runs are drawn against your floor plan — every room gets the wired drop count it actually needs. Access points are located against the architect's section so they cover the home's geometry, not the closet's. The equipment closet is sized at framing — heat, power, fibre handoff, UPS — not added as a hot mess afterward.
Equipment is Ubiquiti or Araknis where they fit best — both are professional-grade, both have the management tooling we need, and both are reliable enough to put into the full range of homes we work on, from $2M to $20M+. Where there's a reason to mix in higher-tier gear (multi-property setups, complex VLAN segmentation, very high client throughput requirements), we spec it. The rack is the rack we'd put in our own home.
A network, end to end.
- Network design at the architectural stage — cable runs drawn against the floor plan, access points located against the section, equipment closet sized for the build.
- Wired backbone — Cat6A or fibre to every drop that warrants it. The wire is what carries the load; the wireless is what covers the gaps.
- Wireless overlay — Ubiquiti or Araknis access points placed for coverage, not for convenience. Whole-home Wi-Fi 6 / 6E with seamless roaming, indoor and outdoor.
- Equipment closet design — clean rack, proper heat dissipation, structured cabling, UPS for the critical loads. The cleanest rack you'll ever see.
- Network segmentation — separate VLANs for guest Wi-Fi, IoT devices, security cameras, automation control, and primary client traffic. Isolation by default.
- Remote monitoring & management — included with WennerCare. We watch for offline devices, failed access points, and capacity issues — usually before the homeowner notices.
- WennerCare aftercare — software updates, security patches, firmware management. The network gets the same continuous stewardship as everything else. Learn about WennerCare →

Both Experience Centres run live AV racks behind the scenes — same equipment, same standards, same finish we'd put in your home. We can walk through one if you'd like to see what a clean install looks like.
