Vig Ranch Yard Wifi

Vig Ranch Yard Wifi

Technologies Used:

  • Unifi: Deployed Unifi access points (Swiss Army Knife devices) for extensive WiFi coverage across various locations on the property.
  • Point-to-Point WiFi Bridges: Used to transmit network connectivity over long distances between buildings and structures.

Implementation Details:

Main House to Shop Connection:

  • Set up a point-to-point (PTP) WiFi bridge to cover 642 feet from the main house to a tower near the shop, which was previously used for satellite TV.
  • From the tower, the PTP WiFi bridge connects to a box in the shop. This connection then branches into a Unifi access point inside the shop, providing localized WiFi coverage.

Shop to Horse Shed Extension:

  • A 60-foot outdoor ethernet cable runs from the shop's PTP box to another PTP device, which sends the WiFi signal to the Horse Shed, located 250 feet away.
  • At the Horse Shed, a Unifi access point is mounted on a pole to provide outdoor WiFi coverage for branding and outdoor activities.
  • Inside the Horse Shed, a network switch connects to another Unifi access point via ethernet, providing WiFi coverage within the shed itself.

Client Benefits:

  • Expanded Coverage: Seamless WiFi connectivity across the entire property, including remote structures like the shop and Horse Shed, as well as outdoor areas.
  • Flexible Solution: The combination of point-to-point bridges and Unifi devices offers a scalable solution that can adapt to future needs.
  • Cost-Effective: Utilizing WiFi bridges instead of laying physical cables provides an affordable way to extend network coverage over long distances.
  • Improved Productivity: Reliable WiFi access throughout the property enhances communication, monitoring, and the use of smart devices in both indoor and outdoor areas.
  • Scalable Infrastructure: The modular setup allows for easy expansion or modification to accommodate evolving needs on the property.
