Airangel said it has provided Get Living with Wi-Fi as a secure, managed service for its 400 new rented homes in Elephant and Castle in London. Through Airangel, WiFi connectivity is enabled from the day a new resident moves in. 

Airangel carried out heat mapping both pre- and post-installation to ensure that Wi-Fi coverage met the latest industry standards, meaning at least -65dbm signal to all corners of each apartment. As Elephant Central comprises three buildings of 400 homes and a student accommodation building of 300 student studios, Airangel can support 1,000 connected devices at peak times. 

Airangel provides a Private Area Network. This involves residents receiving a unique Wi-Fi key at check-in, and allowing for interconnected devices in each apartment, securely transmitting using WPA2/AES encryption standards. Neighbouring PANs are therefore isolated and secured from one another.
