A closer look at how Quantum Fiber Connected Communities builds long-term partnerships with MDU owners, builders, and operators.

Jeff Johnson, who leads Quantum Fiber’s Connected Communities teams, says the importance of pre-planning evaluations before fiber-to-the-unit or premises builds cannot be understated.

He said Quantum Fiber’s sales engineers are highly involved in the process, identifying the best solutions for a given property.

Once plans are set, Johnson said Quantum Fiber’s construction teams take over to ensure agreed upon plans are implemented.

In addition, Johnson talked about why high-speed internet connectivity for MDUs is a smart long-term investment, offering property owners access to potential revenue sharing opportunities and property value increases.

Johnson also said that no two properties are ever the same.

“Each property requires a different solution,” he said.

While bringing fiber to the unit and implementing their plan for a given property, Quantum Fiber will also deploy their instant internet solution for any existing residents, according to Johnson.

“Future bandwidth needs are soaring exponentially,” Johnson said.

He also said he thinks the need of getting fiber to the home, or to the unit, will continue to play a pivotal role in futureproofing the anticipated connectivity needs of communities.

Fiber as a premium amenity in your building can help quickly attract and retain residents, Johnson added.
