Service providers and MDU property owners/managers embrace bulk broadband service as an amenity to attract and retain residents.

I project 500,000 new MDU dwelling units in 2022, but with more than the usual uncertainty. This would be an increase from 473,000 in 2021. There is likely to be a sharp drop in single-family construction.

MDU broadband providers have only one chance to create an excellent first impression during customer onboarding.

Why the multifamily industry has been shifting toward a bulk broadband model.

Fiber’s contribution to global sustainability is having a rippling effect on food and water supplies, education and smart-city applications.

Recognizing that broadband is now a must-have for apartment and condo residents, service providers are striking broadband bulk agreement deals with multifamily owners and managers.

MDUs and even towns and cities can take advantage of HTTP-based streaming with intelligent stream direction and TV client applications.

Fiber deployed in a passive optical network configuration in MDUs allows service providers to reduce the cost of ownership and address current and future demands.

G.fast can help broadband service providers reach challenging brownfield MDUs by cost-effectively bridging the gap between unreachable homes and FTTH networks.

As cable transitions from RF to IP, operators should focus on adding features, not removing them.

A combination of core network planning and opportunistic reuse of existing in-building wiring can provide gigabit and multi-gigabit high-speed fiber broadband networking.

The tools exist to stem the digital divide in rural communities – now, the government, educators and tech companies must collaborate to drive quality programs.
