Aerwave, a managed Wi-Fi platform serving the real estate industry, has been named the #1 company on Broadband Communities’ Connect 25 list, which recognizes leaders in managed Wi-Fi innovation. The announcement follows the company’s recent partnership with JVM Management, a Midwest-based real estate investment and property management firm specializing in multifamily housing.
The Connect 25 list, curated by the editorial team at Broadband Communities, highlights organizations advancing managed Wi-Fi services across property markets. Aerwave earned the top position among established telecom players, supported by 75% year-over-year growth and expansion into 175 new communities across 28 markets within the past year.
“We are honored and humbled to be recognized as the #1 company on Broadband Communities Connect 25. This milestone demonstrates our relentless commitment to reimagining connectivity in multifamily while delivering seamless, high-speed internet and innovative managed Wi-Fi solutions that empower residents and property operators,” says Aerwave CEO Ed Wolff. “Having already won their award for Multifamily Partner of the Year, this recognition puts more wind in our sails as we are leading the industry into the future of digital living.”
The recognition coincides with Aerwave’s first project launch with JVM Management, which manages nearly 6,000 residential units. Through this partnership, Aerwave aims to provide reliable, high-speed internet supported by 24/7 customer service, bringing its resident-first approach to JVM’s multifamily communities.
“Aerwave is the ideal partner to implement managed Wi-Fi on our properties,” says Steve Boyack, COO of JVM Realty and President at JVM Management. “We are proud to have a partner to lean on as we develop new opportunities for ourselves and our residents. The JVM team highly recommends Aerwave to anyone looking to enhance everyday living and future-proof their properties, and their recent recognition from Broadband Communities just reinforces our confidence in our managed Wi-Fi provider.”
