Araknis is a professional networking line: routers, switches, and access points designed for custom integrators, sold through dealers, and built around the assumption that a trained installer will configure and support them. That design philosophy shows up in the details that matter on a real property, from access points that mount flush with the ceiling and hide their status LEDs to switches offered with front or rear facing ports so a rack can be built cleanly. It is the same reason we carry it alongside Ubiquiti, Ruckus, and Cisco Meraki: different properties want different platforms, and a dealer who installs several can choose rather than sell whatever they stock.
WiFi installation and networkingOvrC is the cloud platform behind every Araknis deployment, included at no additional cost, giving remote visibility and control across every Araknis router, switch, and access point on a property, plus real time notifications when something goes wrong. Every Araknis VPN router includes OvrC Pro, which extends that visibility beyond Araknis hardware to other connected IP devices on the network. In practice this changes the service relationship: we can see a device drop, reboot it remotely, push a firmware update, or diagnose a problem from our desk, which means a large share of network issues are resolved without a truck roll, often before the household notices. That capability is the backbone of our service and support plans.
Service and support plansThe line spans everything a property needs from one vendor: VPN routers that anchor the network and carry OvrC Pro, an extensive range of residential and commercial grade switches with front or rear facing port options, and access points from straightforward deployments through multi gig installations. The Wi-Fi lineup now runs through Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7, including the 530 Wi-Fi 7 indoor access point with tri band 2x2 connectivity and multi gig speeds, and a premium tri band 4x4 Wi-Fi 7 model, with backward compatibility to the Wi-Fi 6 access points already installed on many properties. Setup tools like Wi-Fi Optimization, Proximity View, and Bridge Mode exist to make professional deployments consistent rather than improvised.
Ask which platform suits your propertyHonest platform guidance, since we install four lines and have no reason to push one. Araknis suits properties where the network sits inside a broader control system we support and where OvrC's remote service model is the priority, particularly homes already running Control4 or Snap One equipment. Ubiquiti UniFi suits properties that want a deep, self contained ecosystem spanning cameras, access, and networking. Ruckus and Cisco Meraki suit properties where wireless density and enterprise grade performance justify enterprise hardware and licensing. We recommend after seeing the property, the square footage, the construction, the device count, and how the household actually uses it, not before.
Ubiquiti dealer and installationProfessional networking hardware installed casually performs like consumer gear, so the work around the boxes is where the result comes from: a wired backbone reaching every access point rather than mesh hops through plaster and stone, access point placement planned around the building's real materials and geometry, structured cabling terminated and tested, clean rack builds with proper power and cooling, VLANs separating family, guest, staff, and building systems, and configuration documented so the next technician can read it. We build the network as infrastructure, then commission it by walking the property and confirming coverage where people actually use it.
Structured wiring and low voltageOn the properties we serve, the network is not a convenience, it is the road every other system drives on: lighting control and shades, Savant, Control4, and Crestron automation, streaming and multi room audio, video distribution and theaters, surveillance cameras and access control, intercoms and gate entry, thermostats and pool equipment, plus the household's own work and school traffic. When the network falters, everything looks broken at once. That is why we treat it as the first system designed and the last one compromised on, and why remote monitoring matters more here than in an ordinary house.
Estate technology infrastructureWe design, install, and support networks throughout San Francisco, the Peninsula, the North Bay, South Bay, and East Bay, Wine Country, and the Carmel and Monterey area: large Peninsula estates in Atherton, Woodside, and Hillsborough where coverage means outbuildings, guest houses, and grounds; San Francisco homes in Pacific Heights, Sea Cliff, Presidio Heights, Noe Valley, and Russian Hill where plaster and lath punish poorly planned wireless; vineyard properties in Napa and Sonoma with long distances between buildings; coastal homes in Carmel and Pebble Beach; and businesses across the region.

OvrC is the cloud platform behind Araknis, included at no additional cost, giving us remote visibility and control over every Araknis router, switch, and access point on your property plus real time notifications. Every Araknis VPN router includes OvrC Pro, which extends that view to other connected IP devices, so many issues are fixed remotely without a visit.
Yes. Wi-Fi 7 is part of the current Araknis lineup, including the 530 indoor access point with tri band 2x2 connectivity and multi gig speeds and a premium tri band 4x4 model, with backward compatibility to Araknis Wi-Fi 6 access points already installed on a property.
Both are excellent and we install both, so the answer comes from your property rather than our shelf. Araknis fits homes where the OvrC remote service model and integration with Control4 and Snap One equipment matter most; UniFi fits homes that want one deep ecosystem across networking, cameras, and access. For dense or enterprise grade demands we also install Ruckus and Cisco Meraki.
Araknis is a professional line sold through dealers and designed to be configured and supported by trained installers, which is also what makes the OvrC service relationship possible. The value is in the design, the wired backbone, the access point placement, and the ongoing remote support, not in the boxes alone.
Yes, that is a regular part of our work. We assess what is installed, document it, correct what is undersized or misconfigured, and bring the property onto our monitoring and support so problems get caught early. Where the existing hardware is sound we keep it; where it is the reason nothing works, we say so plainly.
