Imagine yelling to a friend from across a noisy concert hall. It’s unlikely that he or she will be able to hear you. Now grab a megaphone and try again. You’ll have much better luck communicating when all of your verbal energy is focused in one direction versus a whole crowd. Add movement into the mix and it becomes even more difficult.
This analogy also applies to the Wi-Fi reception in your Vero Beach home. With so many devices constantly competing for bandwidth, it’s a tough environment for Wi-Fi signals to communicate with clarity. The end result: smartphones, tablets, computers, streaming media players, and other smart home products struggle to connect simultaneously, impacting their overall performance and your Wi-Fi experience.
Wireless access points (APs) send and receive Wi-Fi signals throughout specified coverage zones. A normal AP spreads the signal in all directions. As a result many clients experience interference from other Wi-Fi devices which decrease the signal strength of the Wi-Fi through out the home.
It takes a special AP to effectively overcome the inherent transmission obstacles that exist within homes along the Treasure Coast. The unique BeamFlex technology works like thousands of tiny megaphones that aim the Wi-Fi signal at each specific device when and where it is needed allowing the signal to travel further and in a more focused direction instead of a wide beam. Longer range enables a single BeamFlex AP to do the job of what could require several conventional APs.
Few Wi-Fi devices sit in one spot for very long. Phones, tablets and laptops typically move with you, which means that with conventional APs, signals could strengthen or weaken depending on where you are in your home.
With BeamFlex technology, the AP will reconfigure its antenna pattern hundreds of times a second to achieve maximum focused coverage as you move throughout your home. As many as 4,200 unique antenna patterns are possible to efficiently deal with active Wi-Fi lifestyles and steer signals around ever-changing obstacles and interference.
APs not only direct Wi-Fi energy towards devices, but also pick up signals from those devices. Consistent two-way communication is a critical factor that influences Wi-Fi performance. If a AP fails to hear a command issued from a smartphone to a Wi-Fi-enabled door lock or light switch, for example, the entire home environment is impacted. Thanks to their polarized horizontal and vertical antenna orientation, BeamFlex APs listen better than ordinary APs. They are able to connect reliably and consistently with devices regardless of where the antennas of those devices are aimed.
