Broadband Isn’t An Amenity – It’s Infrastructure

As more and more critical functions of daily life move online, “there are two major roadblocks that prevent residents from fully participating in the 21st century society: insufficient access to a broadband network, and insufficient adoption of broadband where it is available,” explained Brian Higgins, founder & CEO Aditum.

Last July, the Benton Foundation announced a comprehensive, year-long review leading to the release of an agenda designed to update America’s approach for the coming decade.

Again and again, we hear that people live in areas unserved or underserved by broadband network and businesses are hard pressed to start, grow, or stay there. In early July, The House of Representatives passed a package of amendments including Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA) sponsored amendment that prohibits the FCC from finalizing a recent draft declaratory ruling that would overrule local laws that encourage broadband competition in multi-tenant environments (MTEs).”

In commercial real estate across the country, prospective tenants or occupiers assess building amenities when reviewing lease options and often place a high value to the trifecta of connectivity, building automation and safety. Recognizing the demand for reliable connectivity, commercial real estate developers, owners and builders now view broadband connectivity as a buildings fourth utility and part of the infrastructure.

The best way to improve broadband access to multi-tenant environments is to install Aditum, a broadband technology that will change the way tenants’ connect, communicate and operate by providing a gigabit speed internet over a buildings existing vertical network backbone. Building managers are able to deploy disruption-free connectivity that last the life of a building with no ripping or replacing of cabling required, even as demand grows.

Proactive real estate developers and operators understand that only base-building systems, like Aditum, a proven and trusted broadband infrastructure partner, provides tenants with the bandwidth needed for their customers. With networks operated in numerous marquee buildings in nearly a dozen states across the United States, Aditum is adding new recurring revenue and impacting the bottom line for commercial real estate managers.
