Why Hardwired Networks are the Future of Smart Buildings

Smart buildings are only as reliable as their networks. To meet today’s demands—and tomorrow’s—you need infrastructure that’s built for resilience, security, and seamless performance.

There are two ways to power a smart building: hardwired or WiFi.

While convenient, WiFi alone is vulnerable. Service interruptions—whether due to outages, poor signal strength, or overloaded networks—can bring a smart building’s operations and resident experience to a halt

• During network disruptions, access points and emergency alerts may fail, locking residents out or delaying critical responses.
• Overloaded WiFi networks can slow down or halt essential building functions, frustrating residents and staff alike.
• Reliance on third-party networks increases exposure to privacy breaches and data security risks and product/service disruptions or planned obsolescence.

SmartONE uses a hardwired network that also has cloud-based capabilities, creating a system that’s truly reliable.

By hardwiring the network to every unit, we provide a resilient, reliable, and secure that’s built to last. This is the backbone of a safe, connected community.

Our network ensures that internal communications and critical building functions continue seamlessly, even in during an outage.

A hardwired network delivers more than reliable connectivity:

• Consistent reliability. That means an improved experience for residents and property managers who can enjoy their smart community features even during outages.
• A safer community. Residents and building staff receive immediate alerts for leaks, breaches, or emergencies. No internet connection delays.
• Data privacy first. Our system keeps resident data under lock and key without third-party Wi-Fi dependencies.

In a world where resident expectations keep rising, SmartONE’s hardwired network stands out as a true differentiator, providing a smarter, safer, and more dependable experience.

We deliver the foundation for a truly connected smart community. Let’s build something that lasts.
