Data Network
Smart Home Data Network Infrastructure
A reliable smart home starts with a robust, professionally engineered data network. Electric Frog designs and installs high-performance structured cabling systems that form the backbone of every integrated home — ensuring seamless communication, control and long-term reliability across all smart technologies.
​
Using Cat6, Cat6a and fibre optic cabling, we create a hard-wired infrastructure that delivers superior speed, stability and security compared to wireless-only solutions, future-proofing your home for evolving technology.

Core Network Design & Installation
Structured Cabling
Structured cabling is the foundation of a high-performance smart home. We install premium Cat6, Cat6a or fibre optic cabling throughout the property, providing reliable, interference-free connectivity for bandwidth-intensive applications such as 4K video streaming, home offices and whole-home AV systems.
Centralised Network Hub
All cabling terminates in a discreet, centralised head-end or server rack, housing routers, switches and patch panels. This allows for clean installation, simplified maintenance and effortless system expansion.
​
Managed Wi-Fi & Access Points
For wireless devices, we deploy enterprise-grade managed Wi-Fi access points throughout the home and grounds. These work together as a single system to deliver seamless coverage, eliminate dead zones and ensure consistent performance.
Integrated Smart Systems
A professionally designed data network allows all smart home systems to operate from a single interface, including:
-
Multi-room audio and video distribution
-
Lighting and HVAC control
-
CCTV, alarms and door entry systems
-
Home office and remote working connectivity
Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Where appropriate, we use PoE technology to deliver power and data through a single cable to devices such as Wi-Fi access points, IP cameras and access control systems — reducing visual clutter and improving reliability.
