As smart communities evolve, multi-dwelling units (MDUs) and campus environments – ranging from higher education and healthcare to corporate and mixed-use developments – play a pivotal role in scaling connectivity, innovation, and economic impact. This session will explore how fiber-rich infrastructure, private networks, edge computing, and IoT enable these high-density environments to serve as innovation hubs within the broader community. Attendees will gain insights into deployment models, partnership strategies, revenue opportunities, and the long-term operational advantages of designing MDUs and campuses as foundational pillars of a future-ready Smart Community.
