Managed WiFi is a type of internet solution where building-wide WiFi networks are owned by a property but installed and managed by a third party. It can help cut the cost of individual private networks for residents. It can also be used to generate new revenue because all WiFi payments go to the property instead of an ISP.

Homebase handles customer service, maintenance, and repairs so property managers can focus on their core operations.

Yes! Homebase offers Managed Fiber Internet through Gigabyte Passive Optical Networks (GPON). GPON supports longer runs and higher speeds than copper hardware with only a marginal increase in installation costs.

GPON has the ability to support speeds over 100 Gbps and is only limited by the hardware on either side (access points and computers generally won’t go over 1 Gbps, at this point).  Investing in GPON infrastructure is a great way to future-proof your building.

On average, properties see between 60 and 80 percent of their residents purchase WiFi. This varies based on whether the property is located in a dense urban market or a more rural market, where there are fewer competitors.

To maximize adoption, Homebase provides sales training for your leasing staff, personalized marketing materials, and in-app messaging to drive Managed Internet adoption. The best way to increase adoption is to promote it during lease-up and limit the promotion of outside internet service providers.
