Tysons is high-rise. The Boro, Highgate, The Adaire, Arbor Row condos all need wired Wi-Fi backbone because mesh alone fails in steel-frame construction.
Tysons is unlike any other DMV install environment. High-rise concrete-and-steel construction. Smart home in luxury condos with strict building rules. We work The Boro, The Adaire, Highgate, Arbor Row, and the older Tysons high-rises. Most Tysons luxury condos run Lutron RA3 for lighting and Bluesound for audio (the listening environment in concrete rooms suits Bluesound's DAC quality).
Tysons high-rise concrete walls require core-drilled wire runs between rooms — most building management requires approval and licensed contractor sign-off. We handle the building paperwork as part of the install scope.
The mix shifts by city — what's most-requested here reflects Tysons's housing stock and demographics.
SWAT A/V is based at 14124 Stonecutter Dr in North Potomac. Most Tysons, VA consultations happen the same day or next morning. Texts to Rick are typically answered in minutes.
Rick is still in the field on most jobs. The same crew that finishes the work is the crew that started it. Twenty-two years, 10,000+ DMV installs, the same approach.

Yes. Tysons high-rises have steel-and-concrete walls that destroy Wi-Fi between rooms. Mesh alone won't fix it. We core-drill Cat6 runs to ceiling access points in each major room. That solves it.
Yes — Bluesound is well-matched to Tysons concrete-walled listening environments. The DAC quality and high-resolution streaming support pair well with the acoustic environment. We install Sonos for casual setups.
Yes — we've worked with the property management for most Tysons high-rises. The drilling approval process is part of any major install scope.
Most Tysons high-rises have building-provided fiber service plus individual Verizon Fios options. AT&T Fiber has reached Tysons Corner. Cox is the backup. Building Wi-Fi competing with personal Wi-Fi is the most common complaint — we solve it with dedicated 5GHz private networks.
