Discover the Benefits of Extending Your Wi-Fi Coverage

As the growing trend to extend indoor spaces into outdoor environments continues, homeowners look to enhance backyard entertainment, creating spaces that mimic the depth and dimension of their indoor audio and video. 

Bluetooth speakers give way to satellite speakers strategically placed throughout the landscape. Outdoor 4K UHD TVs appear by pools and on patios, creating a space for movie nights under the stars and the big game on the weekends. Outdoor lighting, shades, and fire pits create spaces that are enjoyed nearly year-round. 

But something’s missing.

To really thrive in the great outdoors, all your devices require connectivity. In your home, Wi-Fi plays an essential role in ensuring a connected home that works as you want it to, when you want it to. When you start to extend your living spaces, it’s important to take your Wi-Fi with you. 

That’s where outdoor Wi-Fi comes in.
