Why Wi-Fi for landlords and student blocks is important

Today, Wi-Fi for students is a critical investment. University teaching and assessments have moved to a hybrid approach for the foreseeable future. Therefore, students having access to educational content online is of the utmost importance.

Wi-Fi is the most essential asset in student accommodation. Worldwide, students rely on a consistent Wi-Fi connection for their coursework, access to University websites, social media, online gaming and most recently video streaming websites such as Netflix and Disney Plus. The generic Wi-Fi provided by Universities on campus is often slow and unreliable, frequently making it hard for students to work during their free periods, therefore offering fast, reliable Wi-Fi in off-campus accommodation becomes a fundamental need.

As purpose-built student blocks are ever-increasing, the more modern buildings do not tend to feature Ethernet port access points. This is in order to have more than one device connected to the internet at any one time. Not to mention that modern technology devices do not cater for these cables at all!

Enhance your reputation with Wi-Fi that just works

As a specialist in providing Wi-Fi installations for student accommodation, including halls of residence and purpose-built student developments, we’re well accustomed to designing solutions to support the broad range of a student’s digital needs. Whether they are completing online coursework or streaming Netflix across a multiple devices – a super-fast internet connection is vital. If your accommodation doesn’t offer that, residents may view it as substandard.

Home from home Wi-Fi with private networks

Providing individual private and secure networks for residents that are accessible to them throughout the entire student accommodation may seem an arduous task. But, if students can’t successfully connect, share, post, stream and learn online, they’ll look to you as the accommodation provider, to take responsibility.

Here at Landlord Broadband, we pride ourselves with being the best-tailored Wi-Fi for landlords and student blocks. Our team of fully qualified Wi-Fi specialist engineers can help you with any Wi-Fi-related issues you have, in addition to ‘dead zones’. Our engineers can supply all building types with top-specification Wi-Fi installations. This will provide you with an overall enhanced coverage alongside offering full coverage throughout the property and an equal share of the bandwidth to all student devices. They can have all the fast, reliable access they want.

This allows students to securely connect devices to their own network. Furthermore, it allows them to share information between them like Chromecasts, games consoles (Xbox etc) and Smart TV’s. This traditionally wouldn’t be possible over standard guest Wi-Fi networks.

Wi-Fi Installations for Student Blocks During Construction

Like all essential wiring, it makes sense to install it during the building’s construction. The reason for this is because it creates a more appealing finish as there aren’t wires hanging loose around the building, and also saves paying an installation cost in the future.
The choice of having Wi-Fi installations prebuild ensures that the building will not only be aesthetically pleasing but also adheres strongly to all health and safety measures as it creates an environment where there are no wires that can be tripped over. The choice of having Wi-Fi installations prebuild also helps avoid future issues, such as landlords not willing to allow an installation to be completed.
