Design, Construction process, Outdoor Lighting

Adding technology to your outdoor living space means the ability to enjoy a ballgame or movie without having to go indoors on a beautiful day or night. Enjoy great outdoor living and great entertainment.

Creating a functional outdoor living space means that you also bring all of the conveniences of your indoor living spaces outdoors. This can include many many aspects of technology now that wireless networks allow for total integration indoors as well as outdoors. So before you begin selecting all of the finishes and features of your outdoor oasis, give some thought to all of the activities and technology that you would like to enjoy while outdoors. Taking the time to refine your expectations early will ensure that your new outdoor living space meets all of your needs for fun, comfort, entertainment, and function.

The mild climate in Phoenix allows residents to enjoy being outdoors year round. And this added bonus can include much more than hanging out in the pool or enjoying a great meal al fresco. Homeowners who want to be able to work outdoors or enjoy entertainment such as television, movies or music, just need to plan for these features to be added into the plans for their outdoor living space design. Extending your home network and Internet capability to your yard opens up the doors for all of the entertainment and function that you enjoy in your home theater, home office or any room in your home.

Adding An Access Point For Outdoor Technology

Adding a small access point (AP) to your outdoor living space will allow you to take all of your electronics outdoors. Now you can watch movies, listen to music and even work online, just as you do indoors.

In most homes, the signal for the WiFi is just not strong enough to function outdoors. And for heavy data users such as streaming video or high-speed Internet for work purposes, boosters and signal extenders are not going to be reliable. But the addition of an outdoor access point (AP) can provide the coverage that you want outdoors as well as the capacity and reliability needed for streaming audio and video. NETGEAR offers a wide variety of AP’s that can extend your complete connectivity to an extra 2,500 square feet. And all of the outdoor models offer a weather-resistant design and easy wall mounting capability. And Phoenix homeowners will be happy to know that the Orbi Outdoor Satellite unit will handle the dust that is so prevalent in the areas as they are rated to an international standard of IP56.
