What the Network Enabled

Door access

Lighting control

Air-conditioning control

Resident onboarding

“One of the things we noticed when we used a competitive radio to Baicells, the cost didn’t quite work out and complexity didn’t quite work out for somebody who needed something as simple as Wi-Fi in an MDU environment. It’s not like you’re working in an environment where cost is not an issue and complexity is not an issue. Costs and complexity are absolutely essential in what I call the MDU marketplace.”
