Connected Building was designed with key features and functionality to meet the needs of both property owners and residents, including:

Connected Building enables property owners and managers to easily connect IoT devices – such as leak sensors, smart locks, and smart thermostats – to a secure, property-wide WiFi network.
- Enhanced Operational Support: The dedicated Xfinity Concierge portal and PMS integration, combined with 24/7 proactive monitoring, enhanced operational support and advanced reporting, empowers property managers to work more efficiently and simplify daily tasks.
- Fast, Reliable & Consistent Connection: Residents expect fast, reliable connectivity. Powered by Comcast’s next-generation network, Connected Building continually improves speed and reliability for residents.
- Instant Connectivity for New Residents: Residents can access WiFi immediately upon move-in by simply downloading the Xfinity app and following the digital activation process. Residents receive a private, in-unit network that they can customize by changing its name and password.
- Building-wide Connectivity: Whether a unit is occupied or not, gateways remain active, broadcasting building-wide networks to power an IoT network and amenity networks for residents, guests, and staff.
- Advanced Gateway Technology: Equipped with Tri-Band WiFi 6E for faster speeds, lower latency, and reduced interference in high-density living spaces.
- Xfinity Advanced Security: All devices connected through gateways over WiFi are automatically protected from cybersecurity threats.
