From Legacy to High-Performance: Boosting Connectivity in Brownfield MDUs

The managed Wi‑Fi opportunity in multifamily housing isn’t tied to new builds. More than 80 percent of U.S. rental units are in MDUs that predate modern structured cabling, and new construction accounts for only a tiny fraction of that total each year. For MSPs and property owners, success lies in reusing existing cabling and retrofitting brownfield MDUs to be future‑proof, because brownfields aren’t the exception; they are the market.

This practitioner panel digs into the real challenge: how do you deliver a great resident experience inside the walls that already exist?
