The most demanding WiFi users you'll find

Students are the most demanding WiFi users you'll find. Every resident brings a laptop, phone, tablet, games console and smart speaker — and expects all of them to work flawlessly from the moment they walk through the door. Multiply that across hundreds of rooms, add communal spaces, study areas and laundry rooms, and you've got a network challenge that consumer-grade kit simply can't handle. We design and manage high-density WiFi networks specifically for student living — secure, fast, and built to survive freshers' week and finals season alike.

Why student WiFi is different

Student accommodation isn't like an office or a hotel. The device density is extreme, the usage patterns are unpredictable, and every resident expects a premium experience from day one.

The challenges

  • Extreme device density
    Five or more devices per resident, all competing for bandwidth. Networks must handle hundreds of concurrent connections without slowing down.
  • Day-one readiness
    Students expect WiFi from the moment they arrive. No waiting for engineer visits, no shared passwords pinned to notice boards.
  • Per-room privacy
    Each resident needs their own secure, private network so their devices can talk to each other — Chromecast, printer, smart speaker — without exposing them to neighbours.
  • Peak-time performance
    Evening streaming, gaming and video calls create massive bandwidth spikes. Networks need intelligent traffic management to keep everything running smoothly.
  • Support expectations
    Students won't call a helpdesk and wait. They expect instant, simple onboarding and reliable connectivity without needing to think about it.

Frequently asked questions

How many devices can each student connect?
There's no fixed limit. Our networks are designed for high-density environments where each resident connects five or more devices. We plan capacity based on expected device counts and usage patterns.
Do students get their own private network?
Yes. Each room gets a private, secure network so devices like Chromecasts, printers and smart speakers can communicate with each other without being visible to other residents.
Is WiFi ready on move-in day?
Yes. The network is live and ready before students arrive. Onboarding is simple — no engineer visits, no complicated setup.
What happens during peak usage?
Our networks use intelligent traffic management to balance bandwidth fairly across all residents. Streaming, gaming and video calls all work smoothly even during evening peaks.
Can you manage WiFi across multiple sites?
Absolutely. We provide centralised management for multi-site operators and housing groups with a single dashboard view across all properties.
