Blue Maple Networks Services

Most home technology systems demand your constant attention and care. TV/HDTV, digital recorders, PCs, iPods, stereo systems, security, HVAC controllers, PDAs, cell phones, computer networks, irrigation systems, and lighting systems offer a bewildering array of choices.

Then, once you've got your toys, it seems like you need a doctorate in electrical engineering and computer science to get them to work right. How many remotes and keystrokes does it take to watch HDTV? To set the thermostat, dim the lights, and monitor security? That nightly lap around the house to turn off lights and stereo systems can seem like a bonus exercise routine.

But it doesn't have to be so tough.

By using Internet Protocol (IP) based networks, wireless and industry-standard web technologies, Blue Maple Networks ensures that your in-home gear works together flawlessly, reliably, and intelligently. Blue Maple takes into account all your systems, to design and build an integrated home system that's easy for everyone to use. From wherever in your home your day takes you, Blue Maple's integrated systems make it easy to:

› Adjust your thermostat rules and sprinkler routines

Home/Small Business Computer Networks

The ethernet-based network is the backbone for modern digital home systems integration.

If all you need today is a computer network to tie your systems together, to share an Internet connection, file servers, mail servers, and backup machines, Blue Maple can bring all the services together to get the job done quickly and affordably. Plus, you'll have the foundation element to integrate the rest of your systems. Maintenance plans are available to augment BMN's included one year warranty on all work.

Media Servers, Players, and Controllers

Blue Maple Networks designs custom systems to maximize features, usability, flexibility, value.

The future of entertainment and information systems in the digital home centers around devices that create, play, and distribute their information in digital form. Blue Maple designs and builds a range of media servers, players, and control systems in all price ranges—from the entry-level BMN Series to one-of-a-kind Signature Series.

Home Automation and Theater Control

Think of this: when you first saw TV, it didn't take long to learn how to turn it on and change channels.

Controlling HVAC, lighting, draperies, and sprinklers intelligently and reliably has been dominated by high-end, proprietary, and very expensive to maintain systems. Now, you can easily integrate your systems via user-customizable server software over affordable ethernet-based systems. Blue Maple's knowledge and experience brings this previously high-end feature home to more people than ever before.
