rel="author">Nathaniel Hang</a> </p> </div> </div>  <div class="entry-content"> <h2>What is an MDU?</h2> <p>Multiple Dwelling Units (MDUs) refer to residential buildings designed to house multiple families or households within a single structure or complex. These versatile living spaces typically include apartment buildings, condominiums, dormitories, residence halls, student housing, senior/assisted living facilities, retirement communities, cooperative housing (co-ops), and the like. The MDU categorization also extends to various commercial scenarios such as malls, hotels, motels, hostels, and outdoor markets. All these environments typically require robust, scalable, and secure network solutions to support the connectivity needs of their occupants, users, and guests.</p> <h2>The MDU opportunity for MSPs</h2> <p>The growing demand for advanced network solutions in MDUs presents a significant opportunity for Managed Service Providers (MSPs). A survey by the <a href="https://www.nmhc.org/globalassets/research--insight/research-reports/resident-preferences/nmhc_kingsleyreport2020_infographic.pdf?dtid=oblgzzz000659" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Multi-Family Housing Council</a> found that 91.7% of apartment residents consider high-speed Internet important, and 74.8% value pre-installed Wi-Fi. Instead of residents setting up their own networks, MSPs can offer efficient, high-density Wireless Private Networks (WPNs) (or Wi-Fi Personal Networks) that enhance connectivity, security, and user experience. WPNs provide reliable coverage, high-speed Internet access, and secure data privacy, while enabling shared resources to reduce costs and minimize wireless interference. They also facilitate seamless roaming, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity as users move throughout the property. With capabilities for network management, bandwidth allocation, traffic prioritization, and easy scalability, WPNs allow MSPs to deliver tailored, robust, and future-proof network solutions for MDUs, meeting the growing needs of modern living.</p> <h2>Wireless Private Networks (WPNs) in MDU Deployments</h2> <p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-460858" src="https://storage.googleapis.com/blogs-images-new/ciscoblogs/1/2024/08/Screenshot-2024-08-05-at-2.45.34 PM-1024x526.png" alt="Cisco Meraki: Wireless Private Networks (WPNs) in MDU Deployments - 2 stuents use case" width="800" height="411" srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/blogs-images-new/ciscoblogs/1/2024/08/Screenshot-2024-08-05-at-2.45.34 PM-1024x526.png 1024w, https://storage.googleapis.com/blogs-images-new/ciscoblogs/1/2024/08/Screenshot-2024-08-05-at-2.45.34 PM-300x154.png 300w, https://storage.googleapis.com/blogs-images-new/ciscoblogs/1/2024/08/Screenshot-2024-08-05-at-2.45.34 PM-768x394.png 768w, https://storage.googleapis.com/blogs-images-new/ciscoblogs/1/2024/08/Screenshot-2024-08-05-at-2.45.34 PM-1536x789.png 1536w, https://storage.googleapis.com/blogs-images-new/ciscoblogs/1/2024/08/Screenshot-2024-08-05-at-2.45.34 PM-2048x1052.png 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></p> <p>The importance of WPNs in MDUs has never been greater due to the increasing need for security, privacy, and reliable connectivity. With the rise of smart home devices, such as smart thermostats and security cameras, along with the pervasive use of personal devices like smartphones, tablets, and laptops, robust wireless networks are essential. The shift to remote work and online learning further underscores the necessity for dependable Internet connections, supporting telecommuting and high-quality virtual meetings. Additionally, the demand for high-bandwidth, low-latency networks driven by streaming services, online gaming, and virtual reality applications highlights the critical role of WPNs. By providing secure, high-speed, and reliable Internet access, WPNs can enhance the user experience, boost resident/user satisfaction, and offer a competitive edge for property managers, making them an indispensable part of the modern residential infrastructure.</p> <h2>Why Cisco Meraki?</h2> <p>Cisco/Meraki is THE market leader in cloud-managed networking solutions, offering a comprehensive portfolio of products including wireless access points, network switches, security appliances, smart cameras, and sensors.
