Project Summary

At One Websters Landing, Digital Putty Systems delivered a modern residential technology platform for a historic building converted into 34 apartments. The former commercial building contained legacy infrastructure, including a business-class fiber connection; however, physical pathway limitations made a traditional residential ISP deployment impractical and costly. By carefully evaluating existing conditions and repurposing available assets, DPS transformed these constraints into a flexible, multi-tenant solution.

The result is an on-premises, integrated platform that delivers secure, private resident internet and building-wide WiFi while supporting multiple building systems through a shared infrastructure. DPS installed security cameras and digital signage, and provided dedicated landlord internet connectivity to support building operations.

This approach avoided recurring software licensing fees, simplified building operations, and delivered a future-ready platform aligned with how the building is actually used.

DPS Solution

  • Building-wide WiFi with private, tenant-specific networks
  • Coverage throughout apartments and common areas
  • Wired Ethernet ports in every unit
  • Tenants activate service immediately, no installation required
  • DPS manages billing, activation, deactivation, and tenant support directly
  • Designed network architecture and demarcation points in floor electrical closets
  • Coordinated closely with the construction manager and electrical subcontractor
  • Delivered drawings and infrastructure requirements aligned with construction sequencing
  • 12 cameras
  • Surveillance system integrated directly into the network platform
  • Shared infrastructure reduced cost, complexity, and long-term maintenance
  • Lobby-installed digital display for tenant communication and VIP Development branding
  • Remotely managed by property management
  • Uses the same network backbone as internet and surveillance systems

This approach eliminated unnecessary construction costs, avoided recurring software licensing fees, and provided ownership with a single, unified system designed around the owners needs.
