Project Overview
Park Lake Apartments, located in Hempstead, NY, is a 240-unit multifamily community designed for modern, connected living. To meet the growing demand for seamless, high-speed internet, Metropolitan Realty Group partnered with Spot On Networks (SON) to deploy managed Wi-Fi solutions across the property. By implementing SON’s Managed Wi-Fi, Park Lake Apartments successfully improved resident satisfaction with free, reliable internet, enhanced operational efficiency for property management and maintenance, reduced costs by consolidating multiple networks into one, and future-proofed the property with scalable, smart technology.
The Challenge
Park Lake Apartments faced several challenges, including unreliable Wi-Fi impacting maintenance staff across the 14-building complex, the need for resident verification before connectivity, and rising demand for high-speed internet for work, streaming, and smart home features. Without a managed Wi-Fi solution, residents and staff struggled with inconsistent connectivity, leading to frustration and inconveniences.
The Solution
To resolve these challenges, Spot On Networks deployed a comprehensive managed Wi-Fi solution designed to provide secure, high-speed, property-wide internet access. Key features included centralized network management, eliminating individual ISP subscriptions and providing seamless coverage across the entire property; seamless roaming and security, allowing residents to stay connected anywhere on the property without dropped signals while advanced firewalls and encryption protect user data and privacy; 24/7 monitoring and scalability, ensuring proactive network maintenance and real-time monitoring for minimal downtime while supporting future expansions like smart security and access control systems; and Wi-Fi calling for reliable communication, with SON’s Voice Packet Prioritization (VPP) technology ensuring clear, uninterrupted calls, even in areas with weak cellular reception.
The Outcome
Improved operational efficiency as maintenance staff now have internet-based tools for efficient task management and communication. Higher resident satisfaction due to free, high-speed Wi-Fi that has been positively received, leading to improved tenant retention. Significant cost savings by eliminating the need for multiple ISPs, reducing costs, and simplifying connectivity management. Strategic alignment with ownership goals, as Metropolitan Realty Group CEO Scott Jaffee praised SON’s services for enhancing resident experience and aligning with the company’s mission of providing quality housing with responsive service.
Spot On Networks has helped us differentiate by allowing us to offer fast and reliable internet to bridge the digital divide for our residents.
Looking Ahead with Smart Technology
With Spot On Networks’ infrastructure in place, Park Lake Apartments is now prepared for future technological upgrades, including smart security systems such as surveillance and access control, IoT-enabled HVAC and lighting for energy efficiency, public safety DAS (Distributed Antenna Systems) for first responder communications, and Wi-Fi-connected parking lot gates for enhanced security.
