Xfinity’s latest announcement is great news for apartment building residents

Comcast is making Xfinity Communities an even more appealing product by launching a new end-to-end networking solution specifically designed to deliver always-on, property-wide Wi-Fi. Dubbed Connected Building, the new networking solution promises to offer enhanced operational support, cost-effective installation, fast and reliable connection, as well as the ability to manage network.

As the name suggests, the solution is aimed at property owners and managers, and offers apartment building residents reliable connectivity for work, streaming, as well as gaming.

Along with Connected Building, Comcast also revealed the new Multifamily Xfinity Broadband Gateway, which sits at the core of its new networking solution. Apparently, this has been specifically built for the multifamily segment, allowing building owners to activate additional networks to power Smart technologies and provide residents and staff with property-wide Wi-Fi coverage.



Every apartment building with Xfinity’s Connected Building networking solution allows residents to access Wi-Fi immediately upon move-in by simply downloading the Xfinity app and following the digital activation process.

Residents will receive a private, in-unit network that can be customized by changing its name and password. When a resident moves out, the gateway is automatically reset and stays in place, ready for the next person or family.

The internet is provided by Comcast’s next-generation network and all devices connected through gateways over Wi-Fi are automatically protected from cybersecurity threats.
