“We’re very excited to work with Lennar because we think customers will love the experience of a move-in-ready smart home with Alexa,” said Daniel Rausch, VP Smart Home at Amazon. “With Lennar’s new homes, customers can start asking Alexa to turn on and off lights, adjust thermostats, and more, from the start, making the smart home experience simpler than ever.”

Lennar’s homes are the first in the world to be built according to the new Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Home Design standard. Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Home Design brings a standardized approach to new residential Wi-Fi network design to help ensure whole-home connectivity, with no dead spots, that works seamlessly with thousands of wireless devices and services.

“Wi-Fi connects people to each other and the wider world,” said Kevin Robinson, Wi-Fi Alliance vice president of marketing. “Lennar is to be commended for setting a new standard in home design and construction with Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Home Design, bringing professionally designed and preinstalled Wi-Fi networks to new homes around the country — all under a program that delivers connectivity, coverage and performance standards.”

Lennar’s Wi-Fi CERTIFIED home designs represent the first broad residential installation of Ruckus Unleashed™ Wi-Fi access points and ICX® switching. As a leader in enterprise-grade Wi-Fi, Ruckus is providing each Lennar home with high-performance — yet flexible and reliable — Smart Wi-Fi technology. Ruckus Unleashed™ controller-less Wi-Fi is an affordable wireless LAN solution that can be deployed in minutes, making it ideal for a national homebuilder like Lennar, which builds tens of thousands of homes every year, at an entry-level price that makes it ideal for residential installation.

“Lennar’s bold vision for the future of homebuilding recognizes the essential role Wi-Fi plays in daily life,” said Dan Rabinovitsj, Chief Operating Officer of Ruckus, a part of Brocade. “Ruckus is proud to connect Lennar homebuyers to a world of possibility unleashed by powerful whole-home Wi-Fi at a residential price point that has never been possible, until now.”

During the design of Lennar Wi-Fi CERTIFIED home designs, every floor plan is subjected to a rigorous process that includes mapping Wi-Fi signal strength and quality — taking in to consideration building materials and other factors that can affect connectivity. That determines the placement of Ruckus Unleashed access points, which are built right into the home during construction.

Features include:

  • Voice control by Amazon Alexa;

  • White-glove activation and service.

“We live in a connected world, but most existing homes simply weren’t built for that world — leading to frustrating dead spots,” said Kaiserman. “By engineering state-of-the-art Wi-Fi right into the design and construction of every new Lennar home the way we do plumbing and ventilation — and then bringing it to life with Amazon Alexa — families will be able to enjoy a connected lifestyle to the fullest.”
