Ahead of ANGA COM 2025, Airties announced the launch of Airties Multi, a purpose-built platform designed to provide reliable, optimised, and converged managed Wi-Fi connectivity across multifamily dwelling units (MDUs).
Airties Multi was created to meet the increasing demand by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to provide enhanced end-to-end connectivity and services for the expansive MDU market. Unlike traditional systems, this hardware-agnostic software solution enables llows ISPs to centrally manage both in-unit and common area connectivity. It utilises ISPs’ existing residential hardware or other hardware of their choice, providing a scalable, low-cost solution for all MDU stakeholders, including ISPs, property managers, homeowners’ associations, and residents.
“Airties Multi was designed to help ISPs enhance their core connectivity business, attract new customers, and improve customer satisfaction through a premium broadband experience that was purpose-built for MDUs,” said Metin Taskin, Founder and CEO of Airties. “It provides a hardware agnostic software platform enabling ISPs to combine residential Wi-Fi gateways and extenders with enterprise grade access points in common areas to deliver a converged connectivity experience.
“It also enables ISPs to use existing residential hardware as part of their MDU deployments creating a highly scalable and cost-effective solution powered by our AI-driven performance optimisation software. Airties Multi gives ISPs customised dashboards for themselves, for tenants, and for property managers, and will help unlock new monetisation opportunities in the rapidly growing MDU market.”
The MDU sector is witnessing substantial growth, driven by the increasing demand for reliable connectivity solutions in residential buildings. Industry research highlights that the clear majority of residents prefer having community-wide, pre-installed Wi-Fi offerings. Residents are looking for enhanced amenities, including connected fitness centres, EV car-charging with connectivity in garages, and common business areas or centres for remote work. This presents a unique opportunity for ISPs to deliver better connectivity solutions that meet the needs of modern tenants.
Airties Multi is a well suited solution for ISPs looking to differentiate themselves in a highly competitive market by offering more than basic and bespoke connectivity. By providing enhanced features such as Wi-Fi optimisation, device management, seamless onboarding, and roaming across multifamily dwelling units, Airties Multi can help ISPs deliver superior service, increase customer satisfaction, reduce churn, and improve their bottom line.
Airties Multi offers a wide range of tailored features that enhance the connectivity experience, including:
- Seamless Wi-Fi in the Entire MDU: residents and visitors can enjoy seamless connectivity in the entire MDU ranging from a complex’s common spaces like lounges, lobbies, business offices, garages, and fitness centers to their own private units without painful connectivity gaps
Scalable and cost-effective deployment: the hardware agnostic software platform enables ISPs to leverage existing residential Wi-Fi gateways and extenders within units with a choice of enterprise-grade access points in common areas to deliver a converged connectivity experience. Each residence also receives a dedicated, private, and optimised Wi-Fi experience designed to meet their unique needs
MDU Management Network: property managers or homeowners’ association boards can have a dedicated network secured from the rest of users to manage connectivity across the entire building, ensuring reliability and enabling troubleshooting support - IoT network: supports the growing demand for smart devices and IoT applications including security cameras and smart doorbells within the MDU environment
- AI-enhanced Wi-Fi optimisation: the platform leverages Airties’ artificial intelligence software capabilities to optimise Wi-Fi performance and minimise interference, ensuring consistent, high-speed connections
- Device and user management: provides easy-to-use interfaces for managing connected devices, tenants, and network settings, streamlining the user experience for all stakeholders
- Security and troubleshooting support: built-in security features ensure that the network remains safe and secure, while integrated troubleshooting tools provide prompt issue resolution

Its single-pane-of-glass interface enables ISPs to efficiently manage connectivity from one central dashboard focused for MDUs with permission-based dashboards for other stakeholders
With Airties Home, ISPs have relied upon Airties’ software for the ongoing optimisation of their customers’ home broadband experience to help reduce churn, attract new customers, lower operating costs, and innovate in new ways. The Airties Multi introduction extends this portfolio and follows the recent introduction of Airties Pro, a fit-for-purpose solution designed for ISPs to serve their high-value SMB customers and prospects.
