May 12, 2025 Kordz Explores the Rise of Outdoor Wi-Fi Networks in Episode 5 of the Mastering Connectivity Podcast

Experts share cable recommendations, solutions to challenges, and best practices for deploying robust, reliable, high-performance outdoor networks. 

Kordz, a leader in professional-grade connectivity solutions, has released Episode 5 of its acclaimed Mastering Connectivity podcast, produced in partnership with AV Trade Talks. Titled ‘Outdoor Networks: Challenges, Cables and Expert Insights’, this new episode takes a deep dive into the growing demand for robust Wi-Fi connectivity in outdoor spaces and provides expert strategies for designing and installing reliable networks from the patio to the pool, the boat dock and beyond.  

The episode features an all-star panel of experienced professionals including Benjamin Yeh, Product Development Manager and Operations Director at Kordz, Nathan Holmes, Director of Operations at Why Reboot, and Eddie Shapiro, Chief AV Designer at SmartTouch USA. 

“The days of relying on indoor Wi-Fi bleeding outdoors are over,” claims Holmes during the podcast. “Today’s outdoor systems require purpose-built equipment, detailed planning and expert execution.” 

Together, the panelists explore how the rise in high-tech outdoor living has changed expectations for connectivity—and how integrators can rise to meet these new demands. Topics of discussion include: 

  • Scope and Scale: Understanding how today’s outdoor networks rival or exceed indoor systems in complexity 
  • Environmental Realities: Tackling weather, terrain, vegetation and interference from neighbouring properties 
  • Smart Product Selection: Choosing durable, scalable equipment and properly rated cabling for long-term success 

To give listeners a head-start on their outdoor cabling endeavours, Yeh introduces a cabling solution that’s durable, easy to install and supports high-speed connectivity. The Kordz PRO SlimCat Cat6 cable features a UV-stabilised jacket for long-lasting durability, plus PoE++ capability and a slim profile to simplify installation in challenging outdoor environments.  

“We engineered Kordzified outdoor cables to make installations easier, more reliable and better suited to the demands of modern smart spaces, including the outdoors,” Yeh said. “It’s all about supporting integrators with smarter connectivity solutions.” 

The panelists agree: delivering resilient, future-ready outdoor Wi-Fi is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. With insights from the field and the lab, this insightful podcast episode provides integrators with base knowledge to navigate the unique challenges of outdoor networking.
