While internet access was once a luxury, it has become clear that it’s now closer to a utility. With that in mind, forward-thinking property managers are investing in community-wide connectivity service.
Frontier Computer Corp. channel partner Spot On Networks saw the writing on the wall as far back as 2005. Focused on providing managed wireless internet service to multi-dwelling units (or MDUs), they’ve had a front-row seat to see Wi-Fi grow into an indispensable part of modern life.
As the applications of internet connectivity have diversified, Spot On Networks has found new opportunities to sell their services. At first, a property management company might reach out in order to provide internet to their residents. Once high-quality wireless access is established throughout the property, though, management companies realize that Spot On’s services can also keep their back office workers connected, or power IoT devices like security cameras, keyless entry systems, or Google Nest devices.
Over the years, Spot On Networks has tried a number of routers to act as controllers. Today, they rely on Peplink’s Balance series for 3 major reasons:
- VLAN capability: Balance routers allow for the creation of multiple virtual networks to handle residential, office, and IoT use.
- SpeedFusion technology: Peplink’s proprietary SpeedFusion technology ensures the fastest possible connection with the added reliability of cellular Hot Failover.
- Remote management: InControl 2, Peplink’s cloud-based device management platform, keeps Spot On’s support team updated on any issues with customer networks, as well as unparalleled remote access when needed.
FrontierUS channel partners have access to Peplink’s full connectivity product line.
