Residential buildings

Internet for residential buildings and communities

Connectivity projects for every unit in your residential complex or building, houses or apartments, plus Wi-⁠Fi in the common areas. We work with property management or the developer, starting with a survey of the property.

Benefits

  • Every unit connected

    We design the connection to reach every house or apartment in the property, based on its layout and infrastructure.

  • Wi-⁠Fi in common areas

    Clubhouse, gym, front desk and social areas with connectivity for residents and guests.

  • A project that starts with a survey

    We visit the property, review its infrastructure and deliver a proposal that management can present to the board or the owners’ assembly.

What’s included

Internet for every unit: houses and apartments

We bring connectivity to every unit in the complex or building, with an in-⁠building network designed for that property.

  • Apartment buildings

    Towers and buildings, with the in-⁠building network on every floor.

  • Housing communities

    Houses spread across blocks or phases.

  • Designed in-⁠building network

    How the connection travels from the property entrance to each unit.

  • Two ways to contract

    The property contracts for everyone, or each owner contracts with Hablame.

An apartment tower and a community of houses are not connected the same way. We review how many units there are, how they are laid out (towers, blocks or streets) and the existing infrastructure: conduits, telecom rooms and the in-⁠building network.

From there we define the technology, how the service reaches each unit —apartment, house, office or storage unit— and which of the two ways to contract suits the property. If the property is somewhere wired networks do not reach, we assess satellite internet.

Technology, capacity and whether public IPs (static or not) are available depend on the location and are defined in each property survey.

Two ways to contract the service

The property can contract one connection for all its units and collect it through management, or let us install our network so each owner contracts directly with Hablame.

Contract with the property

The property contracts one internet connection for all its units. Management collects it from residents, for example with the monthly HOA fee, and pays Hablame every month.

  • One connection for the whole property

    Contracted by the property for all its units.

  • Collected by management

    Management collects and pays Hablame monthly.

Contract with each unit

The property lets us install our infrastructure in the building or the community, and we reach every apartment, house, office or storage unit. Each owner contracts the service directly with Hablame, and Hablame bills and collects from them.

  • A contract with each owner

    Apartments, houses, offices or storage units, each with its own service.

  • Billed directly by Hablame

    Each owner pays Hablame directly.

The contract model is chosen with management in the proposal. What can be delivered to each unit, including public IPs, depends on the location.

Wi-Fi in common areas

Wi-⁠Fi for the clubhouse, gym, front desk and social areas, designed around the spaces and usage of each property.

We review the spaces management wants to cover, how many people use them at the same time and what needs a connection there, from residents in the clubhouse to the front-⁠desk equipment. From that we design coverage and installation.

We can plan separate networks for residents, guests and management, so the property’s operations do not share a network with the public. The Wi-⁠Fi network can be managed by Hablame or by the property’s own management.

  • Clubhouse and social areas

    Connectivity for meetings, events and study or work spaces.

  • Gym and sports areas

    Coverage where residents actually use it.

  • Front desk and management office

    A separate network for running the property.

  • Coverage by design

    Planned from the on-⁠site survey.

Coverage is defined in each property survey, and the network is managed by Hablame or by the property’s management, as agreed.

How we deliver the project for your property

We work with property management or the developer: property survey, in-⁠building network design, installation, turn-⁠up and support.

Management or the board tells us what the property needs. We visit, review the infrastructure and prepare a clear proposal, ready to present to the board or the owners’ assembly.

Installation is coordinated with management in phases, tower by tower or block by block, to keep disruption to residents to a minimum.

  • Property survey

    Units, common areas, conduits and telecom rooms.

  • In-⁠building network design

    How the connection reaches every unit and every common area.

  • Installation and turn-⁠up

    In phases, coordinated with management.

  • Support

    Ongoing support once the service is live.

For developers: connectivity planned from construction

We work with developers to plan connectivity from the design stage, so service can be switched on when residents move in.

  • From construction

    Connectivity planned into the design, not after handover.

  • With your design team

    We review drawings, conduits and telecom rooms.

  • Phase by phase

    We follow the project tower by tower or phase by phase.

  • Planned for handover

    So service can be switched on when residents move in.

In a new development it is easier to plan connectivity during construction than after handover. We review with your design team the project’s in-⁠building telecom network, the one required under Colombia’s RITEL regulation, and how our service connects to it.

Every development is different: we design for its phases, its units and its common areas.

Assessed for each project: scope and feasibility depend on the design and location of the development.

Step by step

How it works

  1. Tell us about the property

    Address, number of units, common areas to cover and your contact at management or the developer.

  2. Survey

    We walk the property and review the existing infrastructure and common areas.

  3. Design and proposal

    We define the in-⁠building network, the common-⁠area Wi-⁠Fi and the service model, in a proposal ready for the board or the assembly.

  4. Phased installation

    We install tower by tower or block by block, in coordination with management.

  5. Turn-⁠up and support

    We test the service, switch it on and support you in operation.

By profile

Who it’s for

  • Mid-sized company

    If your company manages residential properties, one process to survey, propose and install connectivity at each one.

  • Enterprise

    For developers with several projects: connectivity planned from the design of each development.

  • Integrator

    For security, intercom or building-⁠automation integrators who need a licensed carrier to provide the property’s internet access.

In practice

Use cases

  • Multi-⁠tower apartment complex

    Management wants every unit connected and Wi-⁠Fi in the clubhouse. We survey the towers and their in-⁠building network, and present the proposal to the board.

  • Housing community

    A community of houses laid out in blocks needs to bring connectivity to every home and to the front gate.

  • Building with shared amenities

    A residential building adds Wi-⁠Fi to its gym, rooftop and social areas, kept apart from the management network.

  • New residential development

    A developer plans connectivity from the design stage so service can be switched on as units are handed over.

Frequently asked questions

Who contracts the service: management or each resident?

Both are possible. The property can contract one connection for all units, which management collects and pays Hablame monthly; or it can let us install our network so each owner contracts directly with Hablame. We choose with management in the proposal.

Will the property need building work?

It depends on the infrastructure already in place: conduits, telecom rooms and in-⁠building network. We review it during the visit and tell you what it involves before the proposal.

Can you install Wi-⁠Fi in the common areas only?

Common-⁠area Wi-⁠Fi can be scoped on its own or together with connectivity for the units. We define it with management in the property survey.

What speed will each apartment get?

It depends on the technology that reaches the property and the in-⁠building network design. We give you that information in the proposal, once we know the project, not before.

What if the property is somewhere wired networks do not reach?

For rural gated communities, country subdivisions and complexes in rural areas, we assess satellite internet as a project with property management or the developer.

Do you work on developments under construction?

We assess it as a custom project with the developer: we review the in-⁠building network design and the construction phases before we propose anything.

What do you need to get started?

The property address, how many units it has, which common areas you want covered and who the contact is at management or the developer.
