In today’s world, reliable and affordable high speed internet access is no longer a luxury – it’s a necessity. And connectivity is a service that Multi-Dwelling Unit (MDU) properties need to be able to provide. That’s why investing in a private broadband network is a smart decision for MDUs.
Public Broadband vs Private Broadband Networks
Most Multi-Dwelling Unit (MDU) property owners and operators will need to choose between two types of broadband networks to provide traditional ‘triple-play’ services – phone, video, and internet – to service the property: a Public Broadband Network or a Private Broadband Network.
What is a Public Broadband Network?
Public broadband networks are those owned and operated by telecom companies, such as Comcast, Verizon, AT&T, or Spectrum. They typically have a large amount of infrastructure already in place – telephone lines, cable lines, fiber, etc. – to deliver broadband services to customers in their service areas. Buildings and businesses share the infrastructure for telecom services and to transmit data. The type of connectivity services offered usually depends on the type of infrastructure already in place.
What is Private Broadband?
Private broadband is a dedicated connection that is owned and operated by a private entity, such as an MDU and not shared with other buildings or businesses. For most MDUs, little to no existing infrastructure will be readily available, so it would need to be built.
Benefits of Private Broadband Networks for Multi-Dwelling Units (MDUs)
Ultimately, the best type of broadband network for your MDU will depend on what is already available to you, plus your individual needs and preferences. So, if telecom companies already have infrastructure in place, and can offer almost instantaneous set-up, why would MDUs opt for a private broadband network? There are many benefits to investing in private broadband for MDUs, including:
Carrier-Grade Capabilities and Faster Speeds
With a private network infrastructure, MDUs are able to take advantage of the latest advances in technology, utilizing fiber-optic cabling to support a flexible, scalable carrier-grade network. A fiber-optic infrastructure provides unlimited bandwidth, capable of delivering top speeds and supporting the latest technologies. It’s typically more reliable than a public network, as users aren’t competing with other properties for bandwidth which can cause network congestion (slowdowns) or outages. Plus, it’s more secure since the MDU has complete control over access to the network.
Greater Flexibility
By owning your vertical risers or vertical structure for network connectivity, MDUs have more flexibility and more control. The unlimited bandwidth of fiber-optic cabling and ability to support multiple networks makes installation and expansion easy. Plus, being able to make updates over time can prevent any major, expensive overhaul down the line too.
The private network infrastructure allows for more than just management of traditional ‘triple-play’ services. With the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, it allows for network control of smart building integrations too. With IoT, MDUs can enhance occupant safety with network security cameras, access controls and automated intrusion or emergency alert sensors. Or they can give green initiatives a boost by using end-point technology and capabilities to lower energy consumption. With IoT technology and unlimited bandwidth, MDUs can tailor the network to meet their unique and specific needs.
Connectivity Attracts
As an essential amenity, a private broadband network that delivers top speeds, with Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities increases a MDUs Wired Score, which advertises a property’s connectivity score. It’s an amenity that renters/tenants are willing to pay a premium for. Plus, it generates demand which justifies an increased rent/sales price tag.
Capitalize on the Network with Property Branded Services
Not only does a private broadband network provide added value as an amenity, but it can be leveraged to generate revenue too.
As a cost center, property owners would contract out networking services, such as Wi-Fi and TV to third-party providers. This added to operating expenses, while also limiting control over the services provided. But a privately owned broadband network shifts the narrative, giving control back to building owners. Property branded networking services by Qypsys provide:
Greater Network Reliability
Industry-leading performance from a tested, reliable, and redundant carrier-grade network.
Better Customer Support
A single point of contact for resident support, property support, and vendor support is much more efficient and delivers a better customer support experience.
Funding and Revenue Generation
Instead of being a cost center, the network becomes a fixed asset that provides revenue generation through bulk services arrangements with shorter contract terms. And in the event of a sale, a private broadband network can be categorized as a fixed asset/tangible asset that improves the overall value of a building which a building owner can capitalize on.
