Managed Wi-Fi infrastructure · Ireland

WiFi broadband like the utility it should be, not the tenant problem it has become.

AerFi provides high-quality, reliable Wi-Fi as a complete service for apartment buildings, student accommodation, and social housing across Ireland. We handle everything: designing the network, installing it, keeping an eye on it, and fixing any issues — all under a single contract. Building owners pay nothing upfront to get started.

The problem

Every resident is on their own. Every operator is exposed.

The dominant model across Irish PBSA, BTR, and social housing is fragmented self-service — each resident contracting individually with a retail ISP. It leaves residents exposed and operators with no way to fix what goes wrong.

01 — INSTALLATION
Conflicting self-installs

Every resident brings their own router and ISP, creating interference and inconsistent coverage across the building.

02 — INFRASTRUCTURE
Weak fibre access

Rollout gaps in many multi-dwelling units leave residents dependent on 5G, cable, or legacy copper.

03 — COMMERCIAL
Price escalation

Annual ISP price ratchets are far harder to switch away from than any other household utility.

04 — OPERATIONS
No operator control

Without a managed layer, operators can't enforce standards or resolve a single connectivity complaint.

The solution

One contract. One invoice. One accountable network.

AerFi turns connectivity into a managed building amenity — network design, hardware, fibre backhaul, 24/7 monitoring, maintenance, and resident support, under a single per-unit monthly fee.

Carrier-grade hardware

Enterprise-class wireless equipment built for high-density, multi-dwelling environments — the same standard used in hotels and hospitals.

Proactive monitoring

Automated alerting and fault triage catch problems before residents notice them, with full performance reporting for operators.

Zero CapEx

A per-unit OpEx model, immediately accretive to net operating income, with no infrastructure risk sitting on the owner's balance sheet.

Operator simplicity

White-labelled or co-branded as a resident amenity, with a single point of contact for the life of the contract.

For building owners

What this means for you, specifically.

AerFi is built around the operator's incentives, not just the resident's experience — an amenity, a revenue line, and a leasing advantage, in one contract.

Included, not extra work

Operational Wi-Fi, handled

Connectivity becomes a standard part of the building rather than a recurring source of resident complaints — designed, installed, and supported entirely outside your team.

Upside, not just cost

A new revenue line

Residents can upgrade to premium tiers of service, with a share of that revenue passed back to the owner — turning what's usually a cost centre into income.

A leasing advantage

A stronger pitch to tenants

Verified, managed, excellent Wi-Fi is a marketable amenity — one that differentiates the building and helps support faster lease-up and renewal.

Target markets

Three sectors, one structural gap.

Ireland's residential real estate sector is in structural growth across all three — and none of it is served by a dedicated, scaled managed-Wi-Fi operator today.

PBSA

Student accommodation

~30,000 operational beds

Institutional operators in this sector already treat managed Wi-Fi as an expected amenity — AerFi's most attractive entry point.

BTR

Build-to-rent

Growing since 2016

Operators in this sector compete on amenity quality — managed Wi-Fi is already standard in UK BTR, and Ireland is early on that adoption curve.

AHB

Approved housing bodies

~40,000 homes

Approved housing bodies face growing government pressure on digital inclusion — a long-tenure, grant-compatible opportunity.

Delivery model

How a building gets connected.

A single delivery sequence, repeatable across every site in the estate.

01

Design

Site survey and network design for the building's density, layout, and construction.

02

Procure

Fibre backhaul procurement and carrier-grade hardware sourcing, technology-agnostic across vendors.

03

Install

Full installation with no capital outlay or disruption for the building owner.

04

Monitor

24/7 remote monitoring from AerFi's NOC, with automated fault detection.

05

Maintain

Ongoing maintenance, hardware refresh, and direct resident-facing support.

Irish market focus

Established relationships across the PBSA, BTR, and AHB operator ecosystem, with local regulatory and planning fluency.

Managed service depth

Built from the ground up with monitoring, reporting, and support infrastructure to deliver meaningful SLAs.

First-mover timing

No operator has established a dedicated, scaled managed-Wi-Fi business in Ireland yet — this is the window.
