The Wi-Fi Alliance, the non-profit organization that certifies Wi-Fi enabled products, is ready to usher in a new era of the smart homes. 。

Traditionally, there have been no set standards for integrating a wireless network directly into home blueprints, unlike other essential utilities, such as plumbing and electricity. But as our houses continue to be filled with IoT appliances that depend on the internet, a strong network signal is becoming increasingly important. 。

The org has issued a new set of guidelines for homebuilders to follow to include wireless networks in their designs, which were drafted with an eye to the needs of a connected future, according to the Wi-Fi Alliance announcement: 。

The requirements consider the increasing number of smart home devices expected in homes over the next decade, and the growing demand for data-intensive usages such as virtual reality and simultaneous 4K video streams. Wi-Fi Home Design will scale to accommodate both the growth in Wi-Fi devices and high-bandwidth applications.。

The first homebuilding company to use the certification, South Florida-based Lennar, is bringing Amazon's Alexa as part of the project.。

Sure, blueprints may sound wonky, but anyone who's ever suffered from a persistent deadzone knows how important well-designed network coverage is. 。

The integration will come through Amazon's Echo speakers, which a spokesperson said will be included in each build.

, but it's a start.。


The Lennar-built homes will also offer devices on the Samsung SmartThings connected platform and activation and service from Amazon Home Services as a perk of the partnership. However, other devices can also be connected. If you love your Google Home, it will work here too. 。
Lennar, which operates in 19 states, will begin a phased rollout to offer the Wi-Fi Alliance-certified homes in some markets next month, and the Wi-Fi certification could become a major new aspect in home design if other builders follow and adopt the standards. We all want that perfect network connection -- and if your house is built with Wi-Fi as a central focus, perhaps we can finally have it.。
