A group of leading connectivity innovators came together for the Managed Wi-Fi Category Portal Launch & Demo Day, a landmark event showcasing how bulk and managed Wi-Fi are reshaping the way properties deliver digital experiences. The Demo Day, held on September 22, 2025 session emphasized how connectivity is no longer a perk for tenants but a core utility that drives satisfaction, efficiency, and asset value across multifamily, student housing, hospitality, and commercial real estate.
The gathering brought together some of the most prominent voices in the managed Wi-Fi ecosystem, each sharing practical insights and lessons learned from deploying cutting-edge solutions across diverse markets.
Moderated by wireless analyst Adlane Fellah, Founder and Chief Analyst of Maravedis LLC, a global wireless analyst firm. As Guest of Honour, he provided a broader perspective on connectivity’s role in real estate transformation, stressing that Wi-Fi is fast becoming as critical as electricity or water in modern living.
The highlight of the event was a panel discussion featuring top executives shaping the managed Wi-Fi landscape:
Ed Wolff (CEO & Board Member, Aerwave) emphasized how bulk Wi-Fi models are creating connected communities that improve both resident experience and property performance.
Dan Myers (Founder & President, DojoNetworks) spoke on reliability and customer support as key differentiators for student housing and residential projects.
Taylor Jones (President & CTO, Elauwit Connection) highlighted infrastructure strategies that integrate Wi-Fi with IoT, smart security, and workplace technologies.
Adam Bell (Founder & CEO, Internet Subway) shared insights on delivering affordable, scalable connectivity solutions beyond premium assets.
Dustin Johnston (VP of MDU Sales, Touchstone 1) outlined how bulk Wi-Fi simplifies operations, reduces costs, and strengthens owner-tenant relationships.
Patrick Albus (CEO, Gigstreem) discussed the importance of enterprise-grade Wi-Fi for commercial and hospitality use cases.
Kevin M. Fox (CEO, Fox Quest Inc.) reflected on developer-provider collaboration to maximize property value over the long term.
As Fellah noted, “The question for owners and operators is no longer whether to deploy managed Wi-Fi, but how to do it in a way that creates both resident satisfaction and ROI.”
A recurring theme during the launch was connectivity. As smart communities evolve, Wi-Fi infrastructure is becoming the backbone of real estate innovation. High-speed, reliable internet not only supports resident lifestyles but also powers IoT devices, smart security, automated utilities, and real-time communication between residents and developers.
Panelists agreed that without strong connectivity, even the most advanced CRM systems cannot deliver their full value. From remote property tours to digital payments and post-sales service, seamless Wi-Fi ensures that every touchpoint in the buyer’s journey is efficiently managed. The discussion highlighted how the real estate sector is moving beyond brick-and-mortar value to a digitally enabled experience.
