The Foundation Everything Else Depends On

Every smart home system — AV, lighting, security, climate, control — depends on a robust network. GWI’s Smart Home Montecito | Luxury Home Automation | GWI installations are built on enterprise-grade infrastructure from Cisco Meraki, Ubiquiti, and Araknis: the same platforms trusted in corporate headquarters, scaled and tuned for residential use.

Wi-Fi dead zones, buffering streams, and smart home devices dropping offline are symptoms of inadequate network design. GWI performs detailed RF surveys and designs distributed access point placements that deliver full-speed connectivity in every corner of your property — including outbuildings, garages, and outdoor spaces.

Security is embedded at every layer. GWI segments IoT devices, guest networks, and personal devices into separate VLANs, preventing unauthorized access and keeping your private network private.

Enterprise Wi-Fi

Cisco Meraki and Ubiquiti access points delivering multi-gigabit wireless throughout every space.

Structured Cabling

Cat6A and fiber backbone infrastructure designed for today’s bandwidth and tomorrow’s requirements.

Network Security

VLAN segmentation, intrusion detection, and firewall configuration protecting every connected device.

Remote Management

24/7 network monitoring with proactive alerts and remote troubleshooting — issues often resolved before you notice.

Built for Smart Home Performance

A typical GWI estate has 300–500 connected devices: lighting nodes, AV components, security cameras, sensors, and personal devices. Managing that scale requires enterprise tools, not consumer routers. Our network designs accommodate current and future device loads without performance degradation.

We document every device, IP address, and port configuration — so troubleshooting is fast and future upgrades are clean. Network documentation is delivered with every project.

Frequently Asked Questions

What network brands does GWI install?

GWI primarily installs Cisco Meraki, Ubiquiti UniFi, and Araknis networks. Selection depends on property size, remote management requirements, and integration with other systems.

How many access points do I need?

It depends on your home’s square footage, construction materials, and device density. GWI performs an RF survey and models coverage before specifying access point count and placement.

Can you take over an existing network?

Yes. We assess existing infrastructure, retain what’s performing well, replace what isn’t, and document the full network. Many clients come to us after outgrowing consumer-grade equipment.

How do you secure the network?

GWI implements VLAN segmentation (separating IoT, guest, and personal traffic), WPA3 encryption, firewall rules, and intrusion detection. Your private data stays private.
