Overview of Home Area Networks

Home Office, Home Theatre, Home Entertainment, Home Networking, Home Security, Home Technology—the very definition of home is evolving. Homeowners' expectations are evolving as well, as new products and technologies transform their homes and their lives. The wired home, once considered a luxury, is now viewed as a necessity in the digital age. The challenge to building the wired home lies in creating an infrastructure with category-rated cabling and components that meets today's needs while laying the groundwork for the whole-house media system of the future. SAPIUM meets this challenge with Structured Media systems and HANs.

Structured Media takes the concept of structured cabling, as practiced in demanding commercial applications, and combines it with multimedia. This blending accommodates the convergence of telephone communications, computer and internet services, audio/video, and much more. An innovative series of modules and media centers—set up as either pre-configured essential platforms or more customized enhanced platforms—manage and distribute voice, data, audio and video in flexible configurations that best suit each homeowner's individual requirements. These requirements can range from something as simple as cable TV and telephone in several rooms, to a local area network or LAN for a small office or home-based business.

Three component groups comprise the Structured Media systems: modules, media centers and wall plates. These groups, along with “open architecture,” allow the Structured Media system to grow and expand to keep up with the user’s changing needs. Each component group has a specific purpose within the systems.

Modules range from video distribution that can support both digital TV services and digital satellite systems (DSS), whole house audio, security video monitoring solutions, Ethernet Hubs for high-speed networking, and much more. Modules are securely housed in a Structured Media Center or SMC, a professional-grade in-wall panel where all central cabling and the distribution modules come together. We offer three different size panels that can accommodate any system configuration. The acclaimed QuickPort wall plate design forms the business end of the system. With eight different connector types and designer color options, the QuickPort concept offers hundreds of possible voice, data and video media combinations to support any conceivable structured cabling connectivity need.
