Solution
Built-to-Rent Internet
In build-to-rent, internet is a core amenity — residents expect to be online from the moment they get their keys. AFT designs, builds and runs a building-wide network so every apartment, lobby, gym and rooftop has fast, secure WiFi, with no installs, no contracts for residents and an extra income stream for owners.
