Aerwave Launches First Wi-Fi 7 Community with AvalonBay at Kanso Twinbrook

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aerwave today announced the launch of its first Wi-Fi 7 community at AvalonBay’s Kanso Twinbrook in Rockville, Maryland, bringing next-generation managed connectivity to a property widely recognized as a model for the future of apartment living without a traditional leasing office. AvalonBay’s Kanso brand was recently profiled by Multifamily Executive as “the future of apartment buildings,” highlighting the brand’s digital-first, self-service operating model and technology-driven resident experience.

Wi-Fi 7 is the newest generation of wireless technology, designed to deliver significantly higher speeds, lower latency, and greater capacity than prior Wi-Fi standards. It enables more devices to connect simultaneously, supports bandwidth-intensive applications like streaming, gaming, video conferencing, and smart home technology, and provides a more consistent experience in dense environments such as apartment communities.

“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 built from the ground up as a self-touring, low-staffing model, where prospects can either self-tour or take virtual tours supported by a centralized call center, and residents rely on digital tools for access, applications, maintenance requests, parking, and package delivery. All of these experiences depend on secure, ubiquitous, and high-performing connectivity that Wi-Fi 7 is uniquely suited to support.

“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. Wi-Fi 7 gives us the speed, reliability, and capacity to support self-guided tours, remote support, smart devices, and everyday digital life without compromise, and it positions Kanso Twinbrook for what residents will expect five years from now, not just today.”

Aerwave’s managed Wi-Fi platform and Wi-Fi 7 deployment at Kanso Twinbrook deliver instant-on connectivity, broad coverage, and the performance needed to power modern resident expectations across remote work, streaming, smart devices, and building operations. As apartment communities continue to modernize, connectivity is no longer simply an amenity; it is critical infrastructure that shapes leasing, living, and operational efficiency.

Kanso Twinbrook offers other streamlined features including electronic locks, package lockers, parking, in-unit washers and dryers, and remote customer support seven days a week, reflecting AvalonBay’s tech-forward approach to a more efficient and seamless residential experience. Aerwave’s Wi-Fi 7 launch adds future-ready network capabilities to that vision, supporting a community intentionally designed to deliver “everything you need and nothing you don’t.”

“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.”
