Problem
Traditional internet service providers often rely on time-consuming and expensive infrastructure like telephone poles and underground cables, leading to slow deployment and higher costs for consumers and property owners. This can result in delayed internet access for residents and limited connectivity options for building-wide systems and IoT devices.
Solution
Andrena provides high-speed internet services to residential and commercial buildings using a wireless technology that leverages existing fiber networks and rooftop-mounted antennas. This approach allows for rapid deployment of internet services, often within minutes, without the need for in-unit hardware installation. By distributing internet wirelessly throughout a property, Andrena offers residents immediate access to high-speed internet upon move-in and enables building owners to streamline operations with property-wide connectivity for IoT devices and building management systems. The company's managed WiFi solution provides a cost-effective alternative to traditional internet infrastructure, offering affordable plans and eliminating the need for individual installation appointments.
