an antenna, it creates an electromagnetic SPACE
field that may travel over space. IMPLICATIONS

A wireless network's core is a mechanism This will free up space as only a few simple
known as an access point (AP). The components are required, such as routers
fundamental function of an access point is and Internet cabling, which can be readily

But since wireless networks are frequently 43
linked to wired networks, access points
frequently serve as a portal to the
resources of the wired network, such as
an Internet connection.

To connect to an access point and join a
wireless network, computers must be
equipped with wireless network adapters.



CASE STUDY

Our proposed system for a multi-storey smart home are according to these smart home
project which is the Wireless Home Automation System. The case study adopted a wireless
home automation system for their air-conditioner and lighting system. These services can
be control by using Smartzone Application via devices such as tablet because the services
functionality is integrated into their control system. The proposed system was managed
and installed by the smart system specialist SmartZone Malaysia. However these case
study does not consist of home elevator and smoke detector. We did a slight changes for
the building services as we proposed an additional services which is smart home elevator,
and smart CCTV in order to reach its full capability of the wireless home automation
system.

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, we're all looking for a brighter future for ourselves.
Everyone's idea of a better life is somewhat subjective and
individualized, however. According to our interviews, most people
would talk about their homes and how comfortable they are there.
Using smart home technology, homeowners are able to enjoy greater
levels of comfort at home than they ever had before. Even 30 years
ago, this would have seemed like an impossibility to most people. Life
can really be made better by smart home technology. There are many
benefits for homeowners, as well as builders and integrators that
provide the technology that consumers desire to create the home of
their dreams.
