Over the last decade, our industry has seen an ever-increasing need for more and more wireless connectivity. While many of the multifamily projects Jordan & Skala Engineers designs historically included WiFi primarily in amenity spaces (with in-unit WiFi handled by Service Providers), the growing prevalence of managed WiFi has led to more and more Wireless Access Points throughout the entirety of a property. Years ago, we began hearing from some developers that they wanted residents to have connectivity from the moment they exited their vehicle in the parking deck, through the lobby, inside the elevator, down the corridor, and all the way into their unit; a seamless connection from your car to your living space. While I admit that managed WiFi systems have not yet become the norm in the majority of our projects, we’ve definitely seen a large uptick over the past couple of years. A lot of this coincides with the increase in work-from-home and hybrid employment and the steadily growing availability of content streaming, virtual meetings, etc. More often than not, Service Providers such as AT&T or Spectrum help provide the exact locations of WAP’s and system management. Where Jordan & Skala Engineers can be of great service to you lies in the coordination of these systems among other trades and in the structured cabling design to support these systems. Call us for your next multifamily project and let us help guide you in designing a wireless network infrastructure that will make you stand out among the competition, provide your residents with value, and ensure your building is up-to-date with the latest technologies. #wirelessnetworks #wifi #managedwifi #engineeringconsultants #mepgiants #structuredcabling #lowvoltagesystems

As technology continues to evolve, multifamily property owners and operators are faced with the growing demand for high-speed internet and reliable connectivity. The challenge? Upgrading infrastructure to keep up with these changes can be both costly and time-consuming. This article highlights the concept of "future-proofing"—creating adaptable infrastructure that can meet current needs while preparing for the unknown technological advances of tomorrow. By investing in scalable systems, multifamily properties can ensure that residents continue to have robust internet connections for everything from streaming and video calls to remote home monitoring. Whether it’s new construction or existing buildings, future-proofing focuses on strategic upgrades to cabling, fiber optics, and Wi-Fi systems, helping properties remain competitive and cutting down on long-term operational costs.

Move-in dates shouldn’t be determined by the date an occupier’s connectivity goes live and the biggest cause for delays is usually down to the internet service provider’s biased wayleave agreement. That's why our connected buildings solution is designed around a master wayleave agreement, covering the entire infrastructure platform, along with the flexibility needed to append tenants as and when they have an agreement. The outcome? Barriers to occupancy are eliminated, enabling your tenants to be connected seamlessly, all while reducing your paperwork burden. ↳ Pre-connect your multi-let building today! ⚡ Interested in finding out more?

Cost-Effective Strategies, Future-Proofing for Multifamily Internet Infrastructure In the rapidly evolving landscape of multifamily technology, owners and operators face a critical challenge to staying competitive. As demand for high-speed internet and robust connectivity grows, it is essential to adapt quickly. However, constantly upgrading infrastructure can be prohibitively expensive and time-consuming. The solution lies in future-proofing properties — building an adaptable infrastructure that can support unknown future technological needs. “Future-proofing is a matter of having infrastructure capable of supporting what we don’t know we will want later,” says Matt Williamson, lead sales engineer at Pavlov Media, which provides Wi-Fi, fiber-optic internet service and managed digital services to multifamily properties. Future-proofing involves implementing scalable and flexible communication systems that accommodate both current and emerging digital demands. By focusing on future-proofing, multifamily properties can meet residents’ increasing expectations for high-speed internet and comprehensive Wi-Fi coverage while also reducing operational costs and enhancing overall efficiency. https://lnkd.in/dDiXgZh9 Sponsored by Pavlov Media #cre #commercialrealestate #multifamily #futureproofing
