Hyperoptic, the UK’s leading alternative broadband provider, has announced the launch of its Managed Wi-Fi service, delivering uninterrupted, high-speed internet across residential developments. The upgraded service ensures reliable, seamless connectivity for residents, staff, and guests throughout entire sites, supported by cutting-edge technology and 24/7 customer support.

In conjunction with the launch, Hyperoptic commissioned a whitepaper with award-winning property consultancy SAY, revealing key industry insights and exploring the future of rental living through the lens of technology. It highlighted that connectivity has become crucial for modern living. A significant 45 per cent of renters now work from home at least part-time, and 23 per cent thoroughly check Wi-Fi speeds before committing to a new property. Remarkably, 66 per cent of industry professionals even regard high-quality connectivity as ‘the fourth utility’.

When it comes to real estate professionals, it shows that 35 per cent are concerned about the costs of climate mitigation and new technologies. Notably, concerns about tech innovations have dropped from 18 per cent in 2019 to 7 per cent in 2024, reflecting growing confidence in technological solutions.

In building management, connectivity is crucial to data and operational insight with key decision-making based on energy-efficient homes and socially connected communities.​ We’re seeing that BTR operations heavily rely on technology for building performance.​ These technological advancements allows staff to focus more on human-centric care.

Hyperoptic Managed Wi-Fi guarantees site-wide, consistent connectivity, with dedicated portals simplifying onboarding for residents and guests. The service includes tailored account management, comprehensive 24/7 support, and future-proof hardware to ensure secure, up-to-date technology.

Jo-Anne Dunning, Business Development Director at Hyperoptic, stated: “We’re excited to launch our Managed Wi-Fi service, offering an advanced, reliable solution tailored to the needs of modern residential developments. Our Whitepaper highlights the industry’s growing readiness for tech innovations, and Hyperoptic is proud to set a new standard for high-speed connectivity.”

With the growing demand for full fibre broadband, Hyperoptic’s Managed Wi-Fi service sets a new standard for residential developments, ensuring hassle-free, reliable connectivity that meets the highest expectations for speed and performance.
