Moving House for Education in 2024: Three Key Considerations for Parents

In today's society, the story of Mencius' mother moving three times is no longer just an ancient Chinese tale. Whether through home purchases or rentals, parents are going to great lengths to move into the prestigious school net areas, all in the hopes of improving their children's chances of gaining admission to top schools. But apart from the school net, what other factors must parents consider when making such important decisions for their children's education?

Three Key Considerations When Moving to a New Home

1. Prestigious School Nets

Wishing for their children to have a successful future is a timeless desire of parents. When choosing a new home, being connected to a good school net becomes the primary consideration. For example, the popular School Net 41 in Kowloon and School Net 12 in Wanchai are top choices among parents due to them being the catchment areas of traditional prestigious schools. These school nets not only offer excellent educational resources but also lay a solid academic foundation for children's future development.

2. Strong Home Internet Connection

After choosing the school net, it's important to prepare a suitable learning environment. Modern family relies heavily on the Internet for learning, work, and entertainment. With the increasing prevalence of online teaching, missing key points during classes due to poor internet connectivity can be a huge disadvantage. As a result, parents must consider network coverage of the residential area to ensure a seamless 5G connection. This allows both adults and children at home to be able to access the internet for remote learning, video conferences, or online entertainment anytime and anywhere.

In the past, installing fixed home broadband required a complicated and time-consuming process that could even damage the furnishing and decorations at home. However, home broadband now has been vastly improved, requiring no landlines and providing high-speed, stable network services. SmarTone offers the most powerful and extensive 5G network, providing plug-and-play broadband without traditional regional and installation limitations, offering a consistent, smooth and convenient modern home internet experience.

Apart from the 5G internet, Wi-Fi 6 technology is also a highlight. Compared to Wi-Fi 5, Wi-Fi 6 offers significant improvements in speed, coverage, and interference resistance. Wi-Fi 6 can reach the highest speeds up to 3Gbps with a stable connection, greatly minimising disconnection and latency problems. It meets the needs of families that require multiple devices to be connected online simultaneously. Wi-Fi 6 efficiently allocates bandwidth resources, ensuring an ideal online experience. Attending online classes, playing games, video calling, or transferring large files can all happen at the same time with excellent network support through Wi-Fi 6.

SmarTone's 5G routers not only support Wi-Fi 6 but also provide dual-band AX3000 and 160MHz bandwidth, offering users a faster and more stable network experience. Additionally, the router features a separate Wi-Fi switch and 1Gbps physical network interface, allowing flexible home network configuration.

3. Enabling Flexible Layout to Meet Family Needs

As family members have different needs, it is imperative to cater to everyone’s individual requirements when arranging a home. Certain functional areas must be designated, such as a dedicated study space for children, a comfortable relaxation area for parents, and an activity space for the whole family to enjoy time together. Traditional fixed broadband can create dead spots in the house, causing connection and latency issues that hinder activities such as working from home, online learning and daily entertainment.

SmarTone 5G broadband offers seamless coverage throughout the home, ensuring smooth internet access for all family members. This resolves the dead spot issue of traditional fixed broadband, while a private broadband connection can be added to ensure parents can work and watch shows while children attend online classes and learn without interruptions. The high-speed transmission and low latency of 5G enable family members to engage in multiple online activities without interfering with each other, achieving a shared family network to meet everyone's needs.
