Connecting your home to the broadband network is the first step towards creating
a modern living environment. The next is to make the best use of the technology
by introducing flexibility and ease of access.
The intelligent and ‘future proof ‘ infrastructure offered by
LexCom Home successfully achieves this, providing a home network that distributes
broadband signals to every room.
LexCom Home consists of both a home and backbone network, allowing broadband
internet, telephone, fax, TV and radio signals to be distributed throughout
the house.

As well as conforming with existing communication standards, LexCom Home will ensure that any future broadband communication demands are accommodated – making it truly ‘future proof ‘
The system is flexible enough to deal with a range of incoming signals – whether they are received through fibre, cable or aerial. With outlets in every room, you simply connect your device to the network using specially adapted cables and enjoy the flexibility offered by LexCom Home. No trailing cables and no hassle.
LexCom Home makes the most of a broadband connection, allowing you to access the latest entertainment and services, as well being ready to take advantage of any future developments.

time-consuming. Using broadband technology through LexCom Home, you can download
music, movies and games in a matter of minutes, giving you more time to enjoy
them.
View the latest movies and TV programmes on demand
Rather than going out to the video shop or signing up to pay view, you can
simply download the film of your choice. TV programs are available at the
click of a button too, eliminating the need to record any that you have missed.
Play interactive games
As well as using the internet to help with your studying, children can take
advantage of the LexCom Home network by playing interactive role-playing games.
Their opponents could be in the next room, downstairs or even across the world
with on-line gaming.
Learn new skills
The network can be used to download courses, or for distance learning in the
comfort of your own home. With a plentiful choice, the ease and speed at which
material can be sent and received will make learning from home even more of
a pleasure.
Create your own greatest hits compilations
With the ever increasing volume of music recordings available on the internet
you can download a soundtrack to suit any event or mood. Tracks can be received
in an instant, burned to CD and ready to enjoy without ever having to leave
home.
Family reunions on widescreen
With more families living away from each other, you can use LexCom Home technology
to gather together despite the miles. Using small cameras and audio devices
fitted to widescreen TVs or computer monitors, staying on touch with family
and friends has never been so easy
It is not easy to envisage what will be needed only five years from now.There are plenty of expert opinions but one thing is certain - people will be using electronic high capacity communication to an extent that is hardly imaginable today, and they will want access at all times, at home and at work. When planning a LexCom Home network, it is important to consider how a room may be used in the future.
Tired of running between computers with floppy disks to print out a document?

The home office

.
Basic components of the home network
• Universal outlets with two sockets
• 4-pair installation cables
• Distribution centre where incoming cables are connected
• Patch cables for easy reconfiguration of the network
• Universal patch modules for connection of optional functions
• Distribution module for serving eight sockets for all communications
devices
• HUB- module for a 4-socket data intranet
• Aerial amplifier for six TV sockets
All functions in the same socket
Each communication device (whether it be a telephone. TV,
etc ) is linked to a standardised wall mounted socket with its generic cable
and plug, via a specially adapted connection All the sockets are in turn
cabled back to the distribution panel.
The beauty of a LexCorn Home installation is not just that all devices can
be quickly and simply connected to the network through their generic cables,
but also the ease at which the function of each socket can be defined and
then re-defined
Alter your socket in seconds
The distribution centre looks similar to a telephone exchange,
and every socket in each room has a corresponding marking and port on the
patch panel
Using a patch cable, the room port is connected with either a TV. telephone
or data module, depending on your intended use The socket has now been defined
If you want to alter the function of a TV socket in a room to enable a computer
to be used, simply disconnect the cable from the TV module and insert it
into the module marked 'data'. The socket is now re-defined for computer
use.
