Where
people live, connectivity has to live up.

Residents want strong, reliable cellular coverage everywhere—inside units or condos, in hallways, elevators, parking areas and across every space in between—without gaps or frustration. And when they have it, they stay longer, leave better reviews and willingly pay more for the experience.

CRE Residential Woman-on Mobile Phone

Answering multiple demands for multi-faceted residential properties.

Today’s tenants expect more than ever—reliable connectivity, smart home features and robust digital security. They expect them instantly—and they will pay more for properties that deliver. With so many residents working from home, connectivity issues and dead zones are unacceptable. And all the while, investors want stronger margins from every building.

TDC closes the gap. Our fully-managed networks provide 24/7 reliability and enable high-value smart features like intelligent thermostats and in-unit IoT devices. The result: happier tenants, higher rents and greater returns for investors.

Real answers to industry misconceptions.

Mobile connectivity is changing by the day. When you partner with us, we bring the transparent guidance and seasoned insight today’s complex connectivity decisions demand.

Mobile coverage isn’t a priority in multifamily.

Bust the Myth

Some think only office or commercial spaces need strong cellular signals, but poor mobile reception frustrates residents, impacts safety and can reduce property value.

Smart building tech works on today’s networks.

Bust the Myth

IoT devices, mobile keys, smart thermostats and resident apps all rely on consistent high-performance connectivity; without it, tenant experience and operational efficiency suffer.

Upgrading networks is too expensive or disruptive.

Bust the Myth

Building owners often assume that improving connectivity requires major construction or cost, but modern solutions can be phased, minimally invasive and designed for long-term ROI. There are also smart, flexible ways to work with your HOA to model and allocate the cost appropriately.

How to think about connectivity.

Executives, Investors, and Developers

Think in terms of value and ROI.

Connectivity directly influences property value, resident demand and financial performance. Multifamily communities with strong, reliable cellular and Wi-Fi networks command higher rents, attract premium renters and maintain stronger occupancy. Poor connectivity drives churn, lowers valuation and creates unpredictable operational costs—directly affecting ROI and long-term returns.

Think in terms of risk and longevity.

Future-proofing your property is critical to staying competitive. Outdated or inconsistent connectivity can hurt leasing performance, create safety and compliance challenges and increase maintenance costs. Reliable, modern network infrastructure protects the asset and ensures long-term durability as resident expectations and smart building technologies evolve.

Think in terms of operations and resident experience.

Day-to-day operations rely on dependable coverage. Mobile keys, access control, security systems, package rooms and resident service apps all break down without consistent connectivity—leading to complaints, slower response times and higher operating costs. Strong networks keep your building running smoothly and your residents satisfied.

Think in terms of security, performance and scalability.

A smart multifamily community is only as strong as its network. Poor connectivity increases cyber and physical security risks, causes IoT device failures and drives up lifecycle and support costs. Consolidated, resilient networks reduce complexity, protect data and support growing demands—from smart locks to energy management to resident apps.

Think in terms of differentiation and resident attraction.

Connectivity is now one of the top decision factors for renters. Buildings with slow or unreliable mobile coverage lose prospective residents and see higher turnover. Consistent, always-on connectivity strengthens the resident experience, accelerates leasing and positions the property as modern, convenient and competitive in the market.

Answers to some common questions from clients like you:

Choosing the right mobile connectivity solution for a multifamily property starts with understanding how your building is used, how it’s constructed and what your residents expect. The process typically includes:

  1. Identify coverage gaps – where signals drop in units, amenity spaces, elevators and garages.
  2. Review building materials – concrete, steel, and low-E glass determine how signals travel.
  3. Match capacity needs – resident density, streaming demands and smart devices drive increased bandwidth requirements.
  4. Support operations – ensure access control, cameras and package systems stay connected.
  5. Plan for scalability and cost – choose tech that grows with demand and fits your budget.
  6. Drive Wireless Carrier engagement – ensure all major Wireless Carriers participate and support the solution.

We offer flexible cost models designed to meet your financial goals. Our primary approach is an OPEX model with $0 upfront investment, allowing you to upgrade connectivity without tapping capital budgets. We can also adjust terms—such as deferring rent or structuring payments differently—to align with your capital needs and project timelines.

For properties where cost recovery is part of the strategy, we can explore tenant pass-through models and help you determine what residents would reasonably pay. We regularly work with HOAs and ownership groups to evaluate options, model the impact and back into a cost structure that works for everyone.

We help your building stand out by delivering the one amenity residents rely on more than anything else: flawless, always-on connectivity. Reliable mobile coverage, strong in-unit signal and smart-building performance immediately differentiate your property in a crowded market.

We also make your building more competitive by powering the features residents expect—mobile keys, package management, security systems, IoT devices, streaming and remote work.
