SmartRent, which offers smart home and property operations software for rental housing, announced its Community WiFi offering, with what it claims are high connection speed, dependability, portability, and affordability.

"Resident-acquired WiFi varies substantially from home to home, and bulk WiFi packages are still dependent on the signal strength and reliability of individual routers and modems in each home, common area and amenity space," the company says. "Through its development of Community WiFi, SmartRent strives to deliver dependable, accessible, community wide internet access to serve as the bedrock upon which rental housing communities can confidently build out their smart home and proptech systems."
