Infrastructure residents notice for the right reasons.
Apartment communities, condo associations, manufactured housing parks, and student housing all face the same expectations: Wi-Fi that works everywhere, a package room that does not get robbed, and gates that do not depend on a shared code. We design all of it on one platform your staff can actually run.
Wi-Fi 7 networking
Multi-gig, segmented, surveyed before install.
Cameras you own
Local NVR storage, no cloud fees.
Door and gate access
Mobile credentials, intercoms, audit logs.
Cabling to code
Cat6A, fiber, documented.
What goes wrong without the right infrastructure
Wi-Fi is now a leasing amenity
Renters and buyers rank connectivity above the gym and the parking. Common-area coverage and an in-unit option are expected on the tour, not offered as an upgrade later.
Package theft drives complaints
A package room with camera coverage and controlled access removes one of the most common resident complaints and gives you something to put in the listing.
Keys are a liability
Every move-out means a re-key, and every lost key is a security gap. Mobile credentials end both problems and leave a record of who entered and when.
Cameras can lower premiums
Common-area, parking, and package room coverage often qualifies a property for liability premium reductions that pay for the system within a year or two.
How each service applies to multi-family housing
Property-wide Wi-Fi 7 as a managed amenity.
Whether you offer free common-area coverage or a paid resident Wi-Fi program, the network has to hold up across hundreds of units, concrete walls, and steel framing. We survey first, then design.
- Outdoor APs for courtyards, pools, parking, and dog parks
- In-unit and hallway APs for full resident coverage
- Per-unit VLAN isolation so residents never see each other's traffic
- Captive portal with tiered plans and billing integration
- Multi-gig backhaul so the clubhouse does not slow the whole property
- Central management across multiple properties
Cameras, gates, and package rooms on one system.
Property managers should not need three logins to find out who came through the lobby last night. UniFi Protect and UniFi Access put cameras, doors, gates, and intercoms in one app.
- Cameras at entrances, lobbies, package rooms, parking, and amenities
- Local NVR storage, no per-camera cloud fee
- Mobile credentials for residents and staff, revoked in seconds
- Vehicle gates with license plate recognition
- Video intercoms and resident call boxes at the entrance
- Pool and amenity schedules that lock automatically after hours
Cabling that survives renovations and ownership changes.
Multi-family cabling gets buried behind drywall, so it needs to be right the first time and drawn on a plan. We install Cat6A and fiber with documentation the next owner can use.
- Cat6A to every AP, camera, door controller, and unit demarc
- Fiber between buildings and up risers
- IDF closets per building or floor with clean rack management
- Outdoor-rated paths for gates, lots, and amenity areas
- As-built drawings included with every phase
Office IT for the property team, too.
The leasing office runs on laptops, email, and property management software that hold resident data. We manage those devices and accounts alongside the network: Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace for staff, CrowdStrike on every office machine, Bitwarden for shared logins, and same-day offboarding when a property manager leaves. One team covers the office, the gates, and the Wi-Fi.
Learn more about managed IT →One app for the resident. One dashboard for the office.
Residents unlock the gate, the lobby, and the package room from their phone. Staff see every access event, every camera, and the Wi-Fi network from a single UniFi console. No third-party subscription sits in between.
