Have you ever wanted to use a telephone or TV in another location of your home, but were unable to because there was no connection? How about bringing home and setting up a new computer, only to find that you can't connect to the internet or existing computer and printer? Then there's the dreaded call to the cable company. You want to watch cable in another room, but you know you will have to wait as much as four weeks to get it installed. Today's homes differ greatly from those of the previous decade. Today's electronic equipment and services such as computers, the internet, home theaters, distributed audio, intercoms, security systems and digital satellite dishes are vastly different from those offered ten years ago and are changing the way we live. Unfortunately, the average home's ability to connect to and use these products has posed a problem for homeowners. With the introduction of these services, the "typical" wiring in a home has become overloaded and outdated. The FutureSmart Home Network, utilizing Structured Wiring, is the perfect way to control and share information from these types of electronic systems and services as well as providing you with the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your Home Network will accommodate future technologies and services. Its called FutureProofing and it's available only from FutureSmart Networks and Electronic Concepts. The average home has 2-3 telephone jacks and 2-3 TV jacks. Although this may have been adequate 10 years ago, it falls short of what today's homeowner requires. Today's homes need to have a telephone and TV jack in every room. Furthermore, the wire used to connect to these jacks must be capable of handling greater amounts of information at faster speeds, and there must be a central control panel where you can manage the distribution of signals and services in your home. A Home Network System from FutureSmart Networks and Electronic Concepts provides greater flexibility and eliminates the frustrations associated with integrating new electronics and services into the home. By installing the FutureSmart Home Network, you have greater control over which signals or electronics can be used in a room. The manner by which they control, route or reroute information to and from a room is simple. By using patch cords, you can quickly and conveniently connect a new computer to the computer network, send a satellite TV signal to the guest bedroom for the weekend, or route a second phone line to any room in the house. In addition, information from security systems, audio systems, satellite dishes and automation controllers can be networked and controlled with the FutureSmart Home Network. A Home Network consists of three main components: the Distribution Panel, the cable, and the receptacles. With options such as security, home office, communications, entertainment and automation, each Home Network can be customized to fit the homeowners exact needs. The FutureSmart Distribution Panel is the perfect way to manage and control which rooms in your home receive which signals. Expansion slots allow you to add upgrades for Home Office Products (computers, computer networks, fax, printers, cable modems, DSL, intercom, paging, upgraded telephones), Entertainment Products (satellite TV, digital cable, HDTV, home theater, whole house sound), Security Products (security systems, monitoring) and Automation Products (temperature control, lighting control, irrigation and sprinkler control, etc.). Because Electronic Concepts will FutureProof your home or office, you'll be ready for almost any technology coming your way.
