About this event

Explore how early decisions about internet connectivity can shape resident experience and a community’s ability to meet future needs.

Internet connectivity is becoming an increasingly important consideration in the planning, design and delivery of new residential communities.

Beyond providing a basic service, well-planned connectivity can shape everyday resident experience, support future needs and influence a development’s long-term reputation. However, developers must also navigate different stakeholders, infrastructure requirements, timing and delivery considerations.

In this practical webinar, Opticomm will explore how developers can take a more strategic approach to connectivity, from early planning through to project delivery. The session will examine the key decisions, roles and considerations that can help create connected communities designed around residents.

Opticomm business development manager James Schnebele and business development and key account manager Olivia Millane will open with a practical presentation on development connectivity, including who does what and why early decisions matter. This will be followed by project case studies examining the decisions, trade-offs and lessons involved in delivering connectivity in practice.

A moderated discussion and audience Q&A will provide attendees with practical guidance to plan for current needs, prepare for future requirements and deliver better-connected communities.
