High-Performance Wi-Fi 6 Network Solutions

In the world of modern technology, reliable internet is not just a luxury—it’s a necessity. At Real Automation, we pride ourselves on designing Wi-Fi 6 networks that go beyond the standard, ensuring continuous connectivity even in the most unexpected situations.

A Real-Life Scenario: The Fiber Optic Incident

One of our recent projects perfectly illustrates the importance of a well-designed, resilient network. During the construction of a neighboring home, a heavy machine accidentally broke the fiber optic cable that supplied internet to the entire residential development. This meant that, for days, the entire neighborhood was left without internet access—except for one household: our client’s.

Thanks to the advanced network design we implemented, our client’s home stayed connected throughout the outage. How did we do it? By using a dual-redundant system that balances load between the primary Internet Service Provider (ISP) and a Starlink antenna. The system included automatic failover protocols, so when the local network went down, it seamlessly switched to Starlink, ensuring our client never experienced any disruption in their internet service.

A Thoughtful Approach to Network Design

At Real Automation, we leave nothing to chance when designing Wi-Fi networks. Our process includes a deep understanding of the specific needs of each project wheter it is a High End Home, Business or Multi-Dwelling Unit, we make sure that our solutions address key challenges such as:

  • High Client Density: Supporting multiple devices without slowing down, ensuring smooth performance for everyone on the network.

  • Wi-Fi-unfriendly building materials: Navigating through thick walls, concrete, and other materials that typically hinder Wi-Fi performance.

  • Challenging outdoor environments: Providing fast, stable connections that keep up with the growing demands of today’s tech-savvy households and businesses.

  • Rising employee or customer expectations: Designing outdoor networks that are just as reliable as indoor ones, withstanding elements like weather and distance.

  • Remote Monitoring: Utilizing advanced systems that allow us to monitor and troubleshoot the network in real time, ensuring immediate action in case of any issue.

Building Networks for the Future

With the ever-evolving landscape of home technology, it’s essential to build networks that are not only robust today but also ready for the future. Wi-Fi 6 technology is just one aspect of the solutions we offer. By integrating top-tier equipment, balancing connections, and preparing for unexpected disruptions, we ensure that our clients’ homes are ready for anything—whether that’s a family of heavy internet users or a sudden internet outage due to external factors.

At Real Automation, we believe in designing networks that our clients can trust—networks that keep them connected, no matter what.
