Introduction
In competitive rental markets, reliable internet is a top amenity—often ranked alongside parking and in-unit laundry. Multi-dwelling units (MDUs) that deliver fast, predictable connectivity enjoy higher satisfaction, fewer move-outs, and smoother operations. Here’s how to design reliability tenants can feel daily.
Start with Redundant Backhaul
If one backhaul leg fails, the building shouldn’t go dark. We use fiber with diverse paths whenever possible; where not, we combine fiber with engineered fixed-wireless for resilience. Business-class building circuits include monitoring and SLAs so you know issues will be addressed quickly.
Per-Unit Privacy and Performance
Tenants deserve private networks. We deploy per-unit VLANs/SSIDs and tune AP placement to avoid neighbor interference. Each unit gets reliable coverage in bedrooms and offices, with the ability to add smart devices easily—no IT degree required.
Smart Common Areas
Shared spaces carry different loads: conferencing in lounges, streaming in gyms, mobile coverage in garages. We design AP density and power for real use, then prioritize traffic so everyone gets a good experience—even during busy hours.
Management That Scales
On-site staff shouldn’t be network admins. Pathfinder provides a single dashboard to view building health, plus a resident support workflow that handles resets, onboarding, and troubleshooting. Usage analytics help you plan upgrades before complaints start.
Security and Compliance
Segmentation keeps building systems separate from resident traffic. WPA3 encryption, secure onboarding, and proactive firmware updates maintain a hardened posture. We document everything—useful during renovations or vendor hand-offs.
Local Support, Faster Fixes
Because our operations and field teams are local, we turn issues around quickly—important during move-ins and weekends. When weather hits the valley, we already know the terrain and how to reach your site.
