The Future of Smart Homes: Built-In Wi-Fi Connectivity
Pre-Construction has partnered with the Wi-Fi Alliance to deliver the world’s first Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Home Design, keeping homeowners connected to top technology brand devices—all included with their new home at an outstanding value.
Why Built-In Wi-Fi is Essential for Modern Homes
If broadband is the fourth utility—after water, electricity, and gas—it makes sense that new homes should offer fast and reliable connectivity as a built-in feature. The rise of smart home technology only strengthens this argument.
Wi-Fi access has become fundamental for smart home systems, a trend growing at a compound annual growth rate of 31%. Additionally, studies show that 86% of millennial renters are willing to pay more for homes equipped with smart technologies like automatic security systems, smart locks, appliances, and lighting.
The Foundation of Smart Living
Reliable broadband and Wi-Fi are the backbone of an effective smart home. When connectivity is inconsistent or coverage is poor, smart homes lose their functionality. Many homeowners struggle with slow or dropped connections, often spending thousands to improve their wireless access after moving in.
Common Wi-Fi issues include insufficient broadband, interference, device congestion, outdated technology, and improper access point placement. Recognizing these challenges, forward-thinking homebuilders now integrate network infrastructure into their architectural designs, offering truly smart homes from the start.
Innovative Home Design for Seamless Connectivity
Pre-Construction Homes, known for its “Everything’s Included” approach, now offers fully connected living with built-in networking gear and smart devices. Each home includes a Wi-Fi Certified Home Design and compatibility with voice-controlled services like Amazon Alexa, allowing homeowners to adjust thermostats, lighting, and even curtains with simple voice commands.
The Wi-Fi Certified Home Design program addresses common residential Wi-Fi problems, such as dead zones and poor coverage, by optimizing for home size, layout, and construction materials. These certified homes are designed to support current and future smart home devices, ensuring fast and reliable connectivity for all residents.
With built-in Wi-Fi, homeowners can enjoy seamless control of their smart home technology through mobile devices or voice assistants, making modern living more convenient and efficient than ever.
