Aerwave Launches First Wi-Fi 7 Community at AvalonBay’s Kanso Twinbrook, Redefining Apartment Connectivity
Aerwave has announced the launch of its first Wi-Fi 7 community at AvalonBay’s Kanso Twinbrook in Rockville, Maryland, introducing next-generation managed connectivity to a residential property designed around the future of apartment living. The deployment marks a significant milestone for Aerwave as the company expands its advanced connectivity solutions into a community built around digital-first operations, self-service experiences, and technology-driven resident engagement.
AvalonBay’s Kanso Twinbrook has gained recognition as a forward-looking model for modern apartment communities, operating without a traditional leasing office and using technology to streamline the resident journey. The community’s innovative approach focuses on self-guided tours, centralized support, and digital tools that allow residents to manage daily tasks with greater convenience and flexibility.
Wi-Fi 7, the latest generation of wireless technology, plays a critical role in supporting this technology-focused environment. Designed to deliver faster speeds, lower latency, and increased network capacity compared with previous Wi-Fi standards, Wi-Fi 7 enables more connected devices to operate simultaneously while maintaining reliable performance.
The technology supports high-bandwidth activities including streaming, gaming, video conferencing, remote work, and smart home applications. For multifamily communities, where hundreds of residents and devices may connect at the same time, Wi-Fi 7 provides the infrastructure needed to deliver a consistent and seamless digital experience.
“At Kanso Twinbrook, connectivity is not an add-on, it is the backbone of the entire operating model,” said Ed Wolff, CEO of Aerwave. “Launching Aerwave’s first Wi-Fi 7 site with AvalonBay at such an innovative community is a meaningful milestone for our company. We are honored that AvalonBay chose Aerwave to help power a property that is redefining the future of apartment buildings.”
Kanso Twinbrook was developed from the ground up with a self-service operating model. Prospective residents can explore the property through self-guided tours or virtual experiences supported by a centralized call center. After moving in, residents use digital platforms for key services including building access, applications, maintenance requests, parking management, and package delivery.
These technology-driven features require secure, reliable, and high-performing connectivity throughout the community. Aerwave’s Wi-Fi 7 deployment helps ensure that residents and property operations have the network performance needed to support today’s digital lifestyles while preparing for future technology demands.
“We are excited to launch Wi-Fi 7 at Kanso Twinbrook with Aerwave,” said Karen Thompson, Director, Telecommunications at AvalonBay Communities. “This property shows what is possible when you prioritize self-service, centralized operations, and a digital-first resident experience. Cutting-edge connectivity is essential to that vision.”
Thompson added that Wi-Fi 7 provides the speed, reliability, and capacity required to support self-guided tours, remote assistance, smart devices, and everyday digital needs. The technology also helps position Kanso Twinbrook to meet evolving resident expectations as apartment living continues to become more connected.
Aerwave’s managed Wi-Fi platform at Kanso Twinbrook delivers instant connectivity, broad coverage, and the performance required for modern residential environments. The solution supports everything from remote work and entertainment to smart building functions and operational systems that improve the overall resident experience.
As multifamily communities continue adopting digital transformation strategies, connectivity has moved beyond being a simple amenity. High-quality internet access has become essential infrastructure that influences leasing decisions, resident satisfaction, and operational efficiency.
Kanso Twinbrook’s technology-focused features include electronic locks, package lockers, parking solutions, in-unit washers and dryers, and remote customer support available seven days a week. These features reflect AvalonBay’s goal of creating a streamlined residential experience where technology simplifies everyday living.
With Aerwave’s Wi-Fi 7 deployment, the community gains future-ready network capabilities designed to support a growing range of connected services. The partnership demonstrates how advanced connectivity can become a foundation for next-generation residential developments.
“The future of apartment buildings will be defined by how well technology disappears into the experience,” Wolff added. “At Kanso Twinbrook, connectivity is helping make self-guided touring, self-service living, and operational simplicity possible at scale. That is the kind of innovation Aerwave is proud to enable alongside AvalonBay.”
The launch of Wi-Fi 7 at Kanso Twinbrook represents a step forward for the multifamily industry, showing how advanced networking technology can support smarter, more efficient, and more convenient living environments. As demand grows for connected communities, Aerwave and AvalonBay’s collaboration highlights the increasing importance of reliable digital infrastructure in shaping the future of apartment living.
