"Save Time and Money While Preparing the Broadband Home", a New White Paper by Homepath Products LLC about Home Construction

) January 12, 2009 -- Homepath Products, LLC published a white paper on its web site today describing the advantages that can be achieved by installing low voltage conduit systems during new home construction or renovation. The paper entitled, "Save Time and Money While Preparing the Broadband Home", explains how a system of in-wall conduit systems can help eliminate confusion about when and how to install home communications cabling and other low voltage wiring.


The paper states that the concept of building a "smart" home -- a dwelling wired to accommodate comprehensive home office, home automation, security or home entertainment systems -- may be appealing to many consumers but the cost of doing so is often out of reach. Many homeowners are also confused about the cabling required to support broadband consumer services, home theater, whole house audio, security and home automation. The paper describes a pragmatic approach to preparing a home for future technological advances in consumer electronics and preserving the long-term value of the home.
