Wi-Fi That Fits Your Life
Thanksgiving is best known for gratitude and gatherings with family and friends. At South Central Rural Telecommunications Cooperative (SCRTC), we understand the power of the connections we make every day, and we appreciate the trust our members have in our services.
Our Managed Wi-Fi brings next-generation smart home technology with the Calix GigaSpire and the SCRTC Connect app, allowing you to customize your network.
Best Experience
Quality matters in every facet of broadband connectivity, from the dual-band Wi‑Fi 6 routers we deploy to the way a network is built. Members often ask SCRTC technicians about going “all wireless.”
“The most common misconception that we hear or see today is that you don’t need any Ethernet wiring,” Broadband Plant Technician Matthew Carroll says. “We see new-construction homes being built today with no Ethernet installed. That can be a problem.”
A mesh network works best in a home when each of the access points is hardwired, directly connecting the network to provide the highest speeds and strongest signal. To solve this, SCRTC offers free prewires of homes being built to help optimize the equipment placement.
Directly connecting electronics that use the most bandwidth is also crucial, like gaming consoles and desktop computer systems.
“The speed and reliability of the local network inside your home is equally as important as the speed and reliability of the fiber network that we provide to the home,” Matthew says. “This is where the Calix GigaSpire is a great option for both performance and reliability.”
Best Management
To harness that connectivity, the SCRTC Connect app brings control to your fingertips, allowing customization of your network from the convenience of a cellphone. Combining the app and the GigaSpire router creates the best Wi-Fi experience possible.
1 of the most important features is the network-level security that protects all devices connected to your Wi-Fi network, while monitoring and blocking anything suspicious.
