High-Performance Infrastructure and Internet Access to Multi-Dwelling-Unit

CLIENT CHALLENGES

  • Residents lacked high-speed internet, limiting critical access to online education, job opportunities, telehealth, and more.
  • The building housed low-income residents, many of whom could not afford standard rates charged by large Internet Service Providers
  • Service and residents had support issues with the previous provider (slow to address issues, lack of responsiveness to requests).
  • Existing infrastructure was inadequate and had a lack of comprehensive coverage/Wi-Fi access for all residents.
  • Client needed a solution that did not involve the installation of underground infrastructure.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Residents of a multi-dwelling-unit (MDU) high-rise in a low-income housing complex lacked high-speed internet. This limited critical access to online education, job opportunities, telehealth, and more. TeknoGRID, as the lead contractor, provided end-to-end services and consultation/guidance to provide residents with free high-speed Internet service. TeknoGRID also installed the infrastructure needed to support reliable, high-performance Internet access. Our services successfully provided a better quality of life and reliable IT for the residents.
