The Importance of a Strong Network and WiFi
The importance of a strong network and WiFi became clear at Blessed Hope United Methodist Church in West Allis, Wisconsin. They struggled with weak internet and had no security cameras to protect their property. Redbird Technology Solutions stepped in to help. In this article, we’ll explore why having a reliable network, strong WiFi, and solid security matters. Especially for churches and small businesses.
Strengthening the Network: A Ubiquiti Solution
Redbird Technology Solutions decided to implement a tried-and-true solution – the Ubiquiti product line, specifically the Unifi series. This endeavor began with the installation of a Unifi Dream Router, known for its exceptional performance and reliability. This router acted as the cornerstone for the subsequent network improvements, allowing the integration of five access points throughout the church premises.
The main sanctuary presented a particularly challenging scenario with its concrete and wood construction. However, the Unifi Dream Router, in combination with strategically placed access points, enabled seamless network coverage even in these demanding conditions.
Wi-Fi as a Lifeline
For the Blessed Hope United Methodist Church, the importance of a strong network and WiFi was clear. They relied heavily on network-powered activities like video streaming and mixing, necessitating a robust connection. Redbird Technology Solutions addressed this need by deploying Unifi access points, ensuring that every corner of the church enjoyed strong and stable Wi-Fi connectivity.
Crucial areas such as the lounge, youth room, and kids’ area, which are often bustling with activity, were now equipped with reliable Wi-Fi. No longer did attendees have to suffer from dropped bars or inaccessible content. The church could now seamlessly share information, stream services, and engage with their community through their strengthened network.
Enhancing Security with Cameras
Redbird Technology Solutions also addressed the church’s need for surveillance. They installed a 1080p camera system supported by a Lorex NVR. The setup included different camera models chosen to match the layout and use of each space. While 1080p isn’t the newest option on the market, it still works well for churches and small businesses looking for clear, dependable coverage.
With cameras placed in key areas, Blessed Hope United Methodist Church gained the ability to monitor their property. This helped them protect their staff, members, and building more effectively.
