GFiber and Quext have announced a new collaboration to roll out a new managed Wi-Fi and smart community solution for the multi-family market. The integration introduces a powerful, industry-first 3 Gig bulk internet service and a seamless, integrated technology experience designed to end connectivity friction for residents and boost operational efficiency for property owners.
This new joint solution is designed to unlock significant growth opportunities in the multi-family community market, addressing a previously unmet need for a single, integrated fiber and managed Wi-Fi offering that establishes a class-leading industry standard for resident experience and improves property owner’s operational efficiency.
“This launch is a direct result of our long-term network investments and a commitment to setting higher industry standards,” said Nick Saporito, Head of Product at Google Fiber. “This is about delivering a seamless internet experience to multi-family communities through the fastest network and technology that works better together for both residents and property managers.”
“There’s a powerful shared DNA here, with both GFiber and some of our own smart community platform tracing their roots back to Kansas City,” said Blake Miller, Quext’s Chief Strategy Officer. “This product integration is the culmination of that shared innovative spirit. Quext was founded by operators, for operators, we’re hyper-focused on simplifying technology for residents while empowering owners to build the true, smart community of the future.”
The new combined solution integrates GFiber’s Fiber-to-the-Unit (FTTu) architecture with Quext’s smart building platform, providing high-speed, secure Wi-Fi and intuitive IoT tools across entire communities.
What residents and operators can expect:
- Unprecedented Network Power: GFiber is launching an industry-first 3 Gig bulk internet service in this product, combined with the cutting-edge new industry standard Wi-Fi 7 solution. This ubiquitous Wi-Fi 7 network will provide community wide coverage with an ultra-fast and private, secured connection for each resident.
- Zero-Friction Resident Experience: With Instant On Connectivity, internet is ready on day one of move-in. The solution offers automatic onboarding through the Quext App, eliminating the need for residents to schedule installations or wait for technicians. Tenants receive their own private, secure network that enables seamless roaming within the entire property.
- The One-Stop Smart Solution: Wi-Fi 7 technology in every unit enables residents to control locks, thermostats, and other devices via a single Quext app, fully leveraging the property’s IoT portfolio.
- Financial Growth for Operators: Creates new Net Operating Income (NOI) potential for property owners and managers through transparent bulk internet markups and optional technology fees.
GFiber and Quext plan to expand this combined offering to multi-family communities in GFiber cities across the country, with the first properties going live in early 2026. Learn more at: onequext.com/quext-gfiber.
