The Hybrid NaaS Model & Wi-Fi Calling Advantage

What “Hybrid” Really Means

Hybrid means combining internet and Wi-Fi Calling into one solution. Spot On Networks’ NaaS blends high-speed subscription internet with building-wide Wi-Fi Calling. It replaces costly DAS systems with a smarter model. In a luxury high-rise, for example, residents on upper floors avoid dropped calls without the owner needing to install an expensive DAS.

Why Residents Expect More

Internet is now the number one utility for renters. Over 75% of residents are willing to pay more for reliable high-speed service. Properties that can’t deliver risk higher turnover and lower leasing. In student housing, students stream lectures, game, and video chat at once – hybrid NaaS keeps all of it running smoothly.

How the Hybrid Model Works

Subscribers get fast internet in their apartments and their own Personal Area Network (PAN). That PAN follows them throughout the building, keeping devices secure and connected. Non-subscribers get Wi-Fi Calling, and staff stay connected everywhere. In senior living, this means medical devices and family video calls remain reliable while staff move freely with uninterrupted service. Subscribers and non-subscribers both benefit.

Non-subscribers get building-wide Wi-Fi Calling

Business Value for Owners

Owners boost NOI in two ways: saving money and generating revenue. Spot On returns 75% of subscription fees to the property while eliminating costly DAS systems. Better connectivity also drives faster leasing and stronger renewals. In affordable housing, this helps residents access jobs and telehealth, while owners benefit from steady NOI growth. Hybrid NaaS directly improves NOI.

Future-Proof, Secure, and Scalable

Spot On prepares properties for Wi-Fi 7, keeping them competitive for years to come. PANs provide built-in security, and the patented Tessellated Grid keeps speeds consistent during peak demand. Older buildings gain the same performance as new ones, without major upgrades. In luxury apartments, this means flawless streaming, smart-home integration, and a resident experience that stands out.
