Fast, secure, reliable connectivity is now an expectation at multifamily residences, and a white paper from the market research firm Parks Associates points to the need, challenges, and potential solutions for upgrading connected infrastructures, especially in older buildings. Properties need connectivity solutions that enable residents to work, attend class, stream video and engage in other high-bandwidth activities, while communities need solid Wi-Fi to help them better manage operations, reduce costs, and reduce risk in the face of escalating insurance costs. This is especially important because robust Wi-Fi can be a differentiator for potential customers.

Designing societies that benefit all generations: Roadmap
The success of longevity interventions is putting countries on paths to becoming aging societies, in which the number of individuals aged 65 and older is equal to the number of people aged 15 and younger. This outcome may lead to resistance to investments in healthy longevity, according to aging experts, if concerns are raised that the needs of older individuals will overwhelm societies, exacerbate ageism, and divide populations.
