Stats: 82% of older multifamily properties need to boost Wi-Fi

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.
