Universal Media Group, Inc. – In the apartment industry the importance of having a proper infrastucture and backbone for a network has become paramount. We have all this smart technology that has taken the front of the stage in our daily lives – smart locks, thermostats, surveillance systems, access controls, leak detection and prevention, lighting and the like. If you do not have the proper network infrastructure in your properties, these things will never work properly for success. We are also using more bandwidth from our internet providers than ever before, and if the backbone is not strong the system crashes and we have a lot of upset residents. Let us be frank – the resident does not care who provides the service if it works for them properly, and they are going to blame the property whether it’s your fault or not.

Universal Media Group, Inc. (UMG) provides one of the most robust commercial grade network infrastructures available in the industry. We provide a system that not only gives your property some of the highest speeds available, but also a network that all these other things like smart technology and surveillance and 5G and the like can be layered on top of to give your resident the best experience possible and you as the owner peace of mind. It’s also monetizable for the property as well to provide another revenue stream for services the resident is going to use anyway. Stop letting the cable and internet companies make all the money off these services when we can provide that revenue stream directly for you. We install, service and maintain the entire system to insure you have the best products and services for your residents and the most amount of return for your properties. The internet is now the fourth utility and it is as important as electricity in our daily lives! Do not wait! Do not become extinct! Get out ahead of this now! Your competition is! Make the call and let us help you! For all things network, smart and connected in multifamily News & Events
