If there is one thing every Smart Home Installer knows, it’s that a smart home is only as smart as the network it runs on. We’ve all been there—trying to explain to a client why their new video doorbell is lagging or why their VR headset needs a wired backhaul.
That is why we are thrilled to announce a major update to the Certified Next-Generation Smart Home Installer (NGSHI) Professional Program. We have officially expanded the student resources with a brand-new, field-ready asset: the Wireless Network Foundation Assessment.
What is the Wireless Network Foundation Assessment?
This isn’t just a checklist; it’s a strategic framework designed to professionalize your site surveys and increase your project value. We took the boring technical requirements and turned them into a client-facing conversation starter.
Included in the toolkit, this assessment guides you through three critical phases:
- Site Survey & Coverage: Stop guessing dead zones. This section helps you calculate the exact number of Access Points needed based on square footage and identify optimal placement.
- Bandwidth & Future-Proofing: Most clients don’t know that their 40+ smart devices are crushing their bandwidth. This section helps you assess their current ISP speed and pivot the conversation to installing some useful smart home devices.
- Installation & Security Features: This is where you prove your expertise. The assessment highlights the “Hardwiring Strategy”—reminding clients that “if it doesn’t move, plug it in” to reduce Wi-Fi strain by 6% per device. It also creates a natural opening to discuss monthly recurring revenue (MRR) opportunities, such as cellular backup for reliability and advanced security subscriptions for parental controls and ad blocking.
