Modern Australian home under construction

Builder Connectivity Partners

Build the Home.We'll Help Plan the Network.

Modern homes need more than power and plumbing. Wi-Fi, streaming, security, smart devices, home offices and connected technology all depend on the right network infrastructure.

Modem Hub works with builders and homeowners during construction to plan the foundations for reliable whole-home connectivity before the walls go up.

The Problem

Great Wi-Fi Starts Before Handover

Too often, home connectivity is considered after construction is complete.

The NBN connection may be positioned in an inconvenient location, Wi-Fi equipment may be hidden inside a garage or cupboard, important rooms may have no data points, and larger homes may not have provisions for additional Wi-Fi access points.

Fixing these problems after handover can be more difficult and costly.

Modem Hub helps identify these requirements during the planning and construction stages.

Poor Router Location

A modem hidden in a garage or communications cupboard may not provide ideal coverage throughout the home.

Wi-Fi Dead Zones

Large homes, multiple levels and building materials can affect wireless coverage.

Missing Data Points

Home offices, TVs, gaming areas and other high-use locations may benefit from wired connectivity.

No Future Planning

Security systems, smart devices and future technology can place increasing demands on the home network.
