Fair connectivity for every unit, on one network.
How student housing and residential complexes keep a shared connection fair, without any one unit slowing it for everyone else.
Student housing operators and residential complexes provide shared internet access across dozens or hundreds of units, often on a single connection into the building.
Without fair-use controls, heavy users can dominate bandwidth, leaving everyone else with a poor connection, while a shared network with no isolation between units raises real privacy and security concerns for residents.
Cloud Group works closely with its extensive partner network of IT professionals and resellers to deploy iShield, a next-generation Smart Access Unified Threat Management Device, across student housing and residential complexes.
Bandwidth shared fairly across every unit, resident traffic kept private from neighbours, and the whole building managed from one dashboard.
Fair bandwidth for everyone
Per-unit traffic shaping stops any single resident from monopolising the shared connection.
Resident privacy protected
Network isolation keeps each unit’s traffic separate from neighbours on the same shared network.
Simple resident onboarding
Captive portals let new residents connect and be managed without manual IT intervention.
Clear usage visibility
Usage reports and alerts give operators early warning of problems before residents complain.
Reduced abuse and risk
Malicious behaviour and proxy blocking reduce the risk of one resident’s device compromising the shared network.
Lower management overhead
Centralised management lets operators run multiple buildings’ networks remotely from one dashboard.
