Supply of newly constructed apartment units is exploding, and most new builds now feature smart technology. This puts pressure on existing communities to stay competitive, appealing to prospective residents, and managing soaring operating costs, such as insurance, staffing and maintenance.
Yesterday, Cox Communities announced its partnership with Level Home Inc., a provider of next-generation smart IoT solutions for multifamily customers. Connecting Level’s technology with Cox’s fiber-powered network and 25 years of experience in the multifamily space ensures industry-leading connectivity and speed and gives property owners and renters a fully integrated service experience they won’t find elsewhere.
Cox Selects Level as Next-Generation IoT Partner
Cox’s network and Level’s innovative IoT platform combine to bring unprecedented quality of experience and reliability to users, offering new levels of operational simplicity for multifamily property owners and greater control of their properties for both staff and residents. Benefits include:
- Revolutionary smart building connectivity: The first and only building-wide mesh network powered by Thread and the most advanced point-to-point network brings unmatched reliability, affordability and flexibility for multifamily buildings.
- Simple, intuitive design: Intuitive and modern applications designed to deliver simple user experiences to residents and staff for curb-to-couch access control, building automation and notifications, and daily control of climate, lighting and more.
- End-to-end integrations: Deep integration with leading property management software, building access control and best-in-class devices deliver efficiency and convenience through a single experience designed by Level.
- Trusted field services: The industry’s most experienced field services provide detailed solution design and seamless installation that doesn’t disrupt the flow of a multifamily property.
“Collaborating with Cox helps us further our technology leadership position, but also provides the benefit of delivering connectivity from the most trusted broadband provider,” said John Martin, CEO of Level. “The strength of this partnership is the confidence we can provide customers with a quality end-to-end experience.”
