Clear guidance for better-connected places
Practical, plain-English information about WiFi, radio signals, internet connections and the technology used in homes, businesses, hospitality venues and holiday parks.
Start with WiFi and RF
Our first knowledge area explains the measurements and real-world conditions behind WiFi coverage, reliability and performance.
WiFi & RF Guides
Understand RSSI, dBm, signal loss, interference, frequency bands and why a strong-looking connection can still perform badly.
Knowledge shaped around real installations
This section will grow around the questions that arise when planning, using and improving connected systems. Until each area has its own collection, the links below take you to the relevant service information already available.
Holiday park connectivity
Static caravans, outdoor coverage, managed access points, backhaul and the problems caused by unmanaged repeaters.
Internet connections
Fixed broadband, 4G, 5G, Starlink and the connection feeding the local WiFi network.
VoIP & telephone
Clear explanations of internet calling, business telephone systems and the network conditions voice services need.
IT support & security
Useful guidance for dependable day-to-day technology, support, maintenance and sensible security.
CCTV & technology
Planning and using connected cameras and other practical technology without losing sight of the network underneath.
New categories will be introduced when there is enough useful material to justify a proper collection—rather than creating thin or empty sections.
