Why Install Apartment
Wi-Fi?
Rather than each household buying its own internet connection, the owner procures a single internet connection for a property-wide Wi-Fi network, and all residents can connect. This option will provide the building with better connectivity at a lower cost than traditional commercial Internet Service Provider options.
