Tom Crowe, Director of Intelligent Infrastructure Ltd at their new premises in Barnsley

Intelligent Infrastructure Ltd specialise in the design, installation and commissioning of intelligent home networking technologies ranging from lighting and security systems through to multimedia distribution systems. A communications infrastructure is installed in the house which allows the various systems and devices in the home to communicate with each other. ‘Smart homes’ contain a network which can control systems such as central heating, fire and security alarms, and devices for example televisions and lights, that usually exist in total isolation from each other. These networked systems and devices are able to pass information and commands between them so that, for example, the security alarm can turn the lights on or off if an intruder approaches the home.

The company offer a professional service from inception to completion and can service all the requirements of the modern house builder, property developer or homeowner. Their first contract is with Bright Effects to convert a former Sunday school into a luxury four bedroom residential dwelling and they have assisted with the design of the intelligent systems.
