ISPs have a massive opportunity at hand. Multifamily communities—which include apartments, mixed-use properties, and condominiums—are growing rapidly across the U.S. More than 44 million people live in multi-dwelling units (MDUs) today, and demand will only grow. The National Apartment Association (NAA) projects that 4.6 million new apartment homes will be needed by 2030 to avoid a serious housing shortage.
For building owners, that means they need to find affordable, scalable ways to differentiate their units in an increasingly crowded market. One easy win: providing really good wifi.
Keep reading to learn how you can help MDU owners differentiate in a crowded real estate market—and for even more details, download our white paper, “The ideal wifi experience for residents, MDUs, and ISPs.”
How eero for Communities delivers premium, personalised wifi
Nearly 75% of residents prefer to have their internet already installed when moving into a new building. It’s easy, it’s convenient, and it’s one less thing they have to think about during an otherwise busy and stressful time. Pre-installed wifi is great for MDU owners, too, because it’s a low-cost, high-value amenity that their residents will use virtually 24/7.
For ISPs that want to capitalise on this fast-growing opportunity, eero for Communities is a purpose-built solution that offers a turnkey, highly customisable, and reliable wifi experience for MDU building owners and their residents.
eero for Communities offers:
- Streamlined move-in experience: eero’s 4.8-star-rated app allows residents to easily join and start customizing their wifi network from day one. Our Service Left in Place (SLIP) model means hardware stays in units, so there’s no need to schedule a technician or deploy costly truck rolls. Instead, residents can activate their wifi networks within minutes of moving in, without the need to purchase additional wifi equipment.
- Enhanced security features: eero keeps residents’ online activity safe with Advanced Security features and active threat protection, including tools to block malware on known malicious sites.
- Turnkey, compatible devices: All eero devices can be set up in minutes and automatically update with new features to keep networks running securely and smoothly. We also integrate technologies like Thread and Matter to support residents’ smart home products.
- Robust insights: eero Insight delivers a window into network usage and bandwidth patterns. And with a single-pane-of-glass view that works across eero’s entire portfolio of devices, ISPs can proactively identify and troubleshoot customer support issues to deliver a better end-user experience. This also gives property managers streamlined visibility into tenants’ network performance.
- Reliable performance: TrueMesh is eero’s patented mesh technology, which intelligently routes traffic around congestion and continually optimizes network performance. This results in a high-performance, resilient, reliable, and secure wireless network that simply works. For further peace of mind, eero Internet Backup lets you use a backup connection like a personal hot spot on your phone to keep your wifi online if a wired connection goes down.
