Protecting Your Sanctuary
The abundance of wireless devices creates a more virtual and convenient experience utilizing technology to make our homes more efficient. From smart thermostats to doorbells and appliances, we are more connected than ever. However, these devices can also create a non-secure gateway into our personal information.
The security features in GPC Whole Home WIFI allow you to protect your personal information and your home with elements ranging from motion detection to ad and malware blocking to halting suspicious activity and quarantining compromised devices.
Plume Adaptive WiFi™ Plume’s intuitive cloud-based technology acclimates to the needs of your family’s online patterns. Unlike other mesh network systems, our adaptive system learns from the habits of your home, adjusts and optimizes accordingly, allocating capacity to devices and areas that need it most.
Ensure the online safety of your family by activating parental controls that limit access to specific content by device. Monitor Internet usage and/or shut down service by device to ensure healthy online habits and enforce homework and family time.
