Commercial real estate

The lobby, the meeting rooms, the car park and the fitness room are yours to run, and every tenant expects them to work. We run the technology in those shared spaces, and in the marketing suite of a building that is still going up, so you have one number to call.

The network nobody owns

A multi-tenant building has a layer of technology that belongs to no one. The tenants run their own networks, the landlord has a line for the cameras and the access control, and the shared spaces get whatever was left over. That is the layer we take on and run as one network: an internet line with a backup, WiFi in every shared space, VLANs that keep the building systems away from the guests, and screens in the lobby that show what people need to know.

You get a team that already knows the building, a report every month and one fixed monthly amount that can run through the service charges. What a single tenant uses on its own can be billed to that tenant directly. Your tenants get WiFi that works in the restaurant and the fitness room, and a lobby screen that tells them when the next train leaves.

“Their solutions have exceeded our expectations, significantly improving our network reliability and performance.”

What we take care of in a building

Internet for the building systems

The BMS, access control, cameras, HVAC, IoT sensors and lift lines all need a line out, and every supplier wants to reach their own system. Each one gets its own network, open to the people who maintain it and closed to everyone else.

How we connect building systems

WiFi where people wait and work

Lobby, meeting rooms, terrace and the coworking floor. One network across the shared spaces, guests kept apart from the building systems, and a login that does not need a conversation at reception.

Tenant services, plugged in

Vending machines, parcel lockers, the music system and any screens a supplier brings, on WiFi or a cable, whichever the device needs. The supplier installs it and we make sure it is online.

Fitness, restaurant and payments

The fitness room and the restaurant get internet and WiFi for their staff, their bookings and their payment terminals, each kept apart from the guests and from each other.

A backup line that takes over

A 4G line on our own SIMs stands by next to the main connection. When the main line drops, it takes over, and the payment terminals, access control and WiFi stay online.

Internet from the day of handover

A new building often passes from the developer to the owner or property manager before its fibre is in. We bring temporary 4G internet so the handover, the testing and the other contractors can go ahead, and move over to the permanent line when it arrives.

How it went at Drie Linden

IT for the reception desk

Desktops, VoIP and mobile phones, SIMs, email and the software the front desk runs on, set up, supported and kept up to date by us.

Building systems

Screens in the lobby

Transport times, building news, wayfinding and the occasional message from the landlord, kept up to date by us.

Digital signage

Marketing suites

The video wall FlatTurtle installed in the Covent Garden marketing suite in Brussels

A marketing suite has to sell a building that is not finished yet. We fit it out as if the building were already open: a synchronised video wall that plays your film across as many screens as the wall can take, without a video wall controller to buy, WiFi and internet that behave the way they will on day one, and real desks with a real connection where the sales team works and a visitor can sit down and try the place.

A suite lasts a few months to a few years, so we install it as something that leaves: when the building opens or the next project starts, the wall, the desks and the network come down and go up again at the next address. The wall at Covent Garden in Brussels is one of ours. Ask us to show you.

Two of the buildings we work in

At Blue Tower on Avenue Louise, BNP Paribas Real Estate asked for one connection in place of several separate lines. The building now has one line with a 4G backup, WiFi across the shared spaces and a lower monthly bill. At Pegasus Park in Diegem the WiFi has to work indoors, outdoors and in the underground car park where phones give up, with one point of contact for the property manager.

It starts with a walk through your building.

We spend an afternoon in your building and come back with what we’d install, what we’d leave alone and the monthly cost. Free, and no obligation.
