NEW! Advanced IoT Protection From Plume

Wi-Fi for Your Entire Home

Watching movies on the living room TV, binging shows from a laptop in bed, gaming online in the basement and more — your family's data demand spreads far and wide. Typical Wi-Fi routers can only reach so far. Fortunately, there's a whole-home Wi-Fi solution available through Point Broadband, and that is Point SmartHome. Point SmartHome is a mesh Wi-Fi system that we offer in partnership with Plume. This technology distributes a strong wireless signal throughout your home by rebounding information off of discrete devices that you plug in around the house. The signal starts from a central unit that connects to your router using an ethernet cable. Then, it reaches secondary devices that you plug into wall outlets in rooms on the outskirts of the central device's signal radius. The secondary devices receive and redistribute the original signal for a stronger connection in the rooms farthest from your router.

A Dependable Network and Innovative Technology

Point SmartHome allows you to access our reliable broadband network alongside Plume's powerful mesh Wi-Fi tools.
Point Broadband network: To start, you will choose between our broadband internet options, Point Fiber and Point Air Connect.
Plume smart home devices: Then, we will provide Plume PowerPods for you to install around your home. The PowerPods receive a signal from our fiber-to-the-premesis or fixed wireless network, then communicate with each other to optimize your home's network connection from room to room.
Plume smartphone app: You can control and monitor your network connection using the Plume smartphone app, transforming your house into a smart home.

With Plume’s HomePass, you receive unparalleled controls over your guest and family’s access to the Internet. Plume’s AI Security provides robust protection of your devices as it continuously monitors them for suspicious activity.

What is Plume Adapt?

Plume Adapt puts the brains of your Wi-Fi system in the cloud, using beautiful pods that are installed throughout your home to serve as links to the Internet. Plume adapts in real-time to the devices and applications that are running in your home, delivering perfect Wi-Fi, adapted to every experience. Plume uses a patented Wi-Fi allocation system, providing you the highest amount of bandwidth compared to any other home Wi-Fi solution.

What is Access?

Plume Access allows you to set up guest access for your network without needing a separate guest SSID. Better yet, each user will have their own personalized password, and you can set up varying levels of access to your network based on three different zones. Plus, set up profiles for each member of the family, manage content access by person or device, and pause Internet access when you choose.

What is AI Guard?

Plume AI Guard allows you to filter content for kids, teenagers and adults, block or approve specific websites, and prevent ads from crowding your browser. Advanced IoT Protection proactively monitors your smart home devices for security threats. Attacks on the smart home are increasingly common for devices like baby monitors, IP cameras, smart TVs, thermostats, and even toys! Anomaly Detection protects by learning about a device’s normal activity and distinguishing that from unusual behaviours that might indicate a threat.

How does Plume work?

Plume is powered by the cloud, which means it can adapt to real-life in real-time, ensuring that every room and every device has a reliable and fast connection now and into the future. We’ll help you determine the number of PowerPods you need for your home, then install the appropriate number of pods to ensure the best possible coverage. Our trained technicians will also help you download the Plume app on your smart phone, and assist you with setting up your devices.

Do you need to make manual adjustments to maintain SmartHome performance?

No, Point SmartHome is continuously learning about your Internet needs. It performs advanced self-optimizations and allocates capacity to the devices that need it most.
