The typical island problem
Half-metre rubble-stone walls, buildings separated by a courtyard, a guest house forty metres away and a pool where people also want a signal. Traditional Mallorcan construction is excellent against heat and terrible for radio waves.
What almost never works: chaining repeaters. Each one halves the speed and creates a point where the phone clings to the weaker signal instead of switching to the good one. After three repeaters the problem is no longer coverage – it is the chain.
What does work: cable to the other side of the wall, and an access point of its own there. Less spectacular, but it is the difference between a network that holds and one that collapses when guests arrive.
What we install
Structured cabling. Certified and documented, with spare capacity for what comes later. Cable is the cheap part of the installation and the part that lasts longest – skimping there is the most expensive mistake you can make.
Fibre between buildings. Beyond a certain distance, and above all between separate buildings, fibre is not a luxury: it is the only thing unaffected by thunderstorms and differences in electrical earthing.
Access points where they are needed. Placed according to a measurement, not where they look nice. Powered over the network cable itself, without extra sockets.
Separate networks. Guests, staff, cameras and home automation on networks of their own. The guest joins theirs and sees nothing else. It is configuration, not extra material.
Outdoor coverage. Terraces, pool, parking and driveways, with equipment built for the outdoors and for salty air.
We measure instead of guessing
Before the proposal we visit the property: thickness and material of the walls, real distances, existing conduits, which line comes in and where. Many houses have more conduits than the owner remembers, and that changes the price in the right direction.
The result is a plan with the position of every access point and every socket, a material list and a price. Not an "it depends".
New builds and renovations
The best time to talk to us is before the plaster goes on. Well-planned conduits cost very little during construction and a great deal afterwards. We coordinate with the architect and the electrician, and nobody needs to understand networks for it to turn out well: that is what we are there for.
Hotels and holiday rentals
Here the demands are different: many devices at once, guests changing every week and a rating that drops if the Wi-Fi fails in high season. That is solved with equipment sized for density, a separate guest network and monitoring that alerts before the guest does.
FAQ
Why does the Wi-Fi not reach through a stone finca?
Because a sixty-centimetre rubble-stone wall absorbs the signal almost completely. No repeater fixes that. The solution is to run cable to the other side of the wall and put an access point there – repeating an already weak signal only spreads the problem.
Is a repeater from the supermarket enough?
For the next room, sometimes. For a property, no: each repeater halves the speed and adds a point where the device clings to the weaker signal. In a house with several chained repeaters, the problem is not coverage but the chain.
Do trenches have to be dug and walls opened?
Not always. First we check which conduits already exist – many houses have more than the owner remembers. If building work is really needed, we tell you beforehand with the concrete scope, not halfway through the job.
Can the guest network be separated?
Yes, and in any rental property it should be. The guest joins their own network and cannot see the cameras, the storage or the house equipment. It is configuration, not an extra material cost.
Do you work with the electrician and the architect?
Yes, and the earlier the better. In a new build, half an hour of coordination at the start saves opening a wall later. What decides the result is the conduit planning, and that decision is made before the plaster arrives.
