Comcast said it now serves 1 million multi-family residents across 37 states a year after it launched Xfinity Communities, its service program tailored for apartment buildings, condos, healthcare facilities, and other multiple-dwelling units.

Comcast said the milestone comes amid a recent deal to support 25 properties from the Madison Apartment Group.

Under the program, Comcast sells, markets and maintains its “Advanced Communities Network” (via fiber-to-the-building and fiber-to-the-unit architectures) to deliver high-speed Internet service, its X1-powered video service, WiFi, and home security/automation offerings.

“The reality today is that residents take into consideration whether properties have access to the latest Internet, WiFi, TV, home automation and voice technologies when deciding where to live,” said Michael Slovin, VP, Xfinity Communities, in a statement. “As a result, many leading apartment owners and property managers have looked to us to provide the cutting-edge services they need to keep their residents happy and stay ahead of the competition.”

MSOs continue to apply more resources toward MDU-facing opportunities. Charter Communications, for example, just relaunched its effort under a new brand: “Spectrum Community Solutions” brand.

Expanding the reach of its new brand, Charter Communications has launched Spectrum Community Solutions, a unit that provides customized, managed WiFi, TV and voice services to residential apartments and other multi-dwelling units via on HFC or fiber.

With Spectrum Community Solutions, Charter is targeting several MDU-facing markets, including off-campus student housing, traditional apartments, senior living properties, and RV parks and marinas. 

The video side of the offering provides more than 200 HD channels, VOD and 170-plus live TV channels through the MSO's Spectrum TV App for iOS and Android mobile devices and the Roku platform. 

Charter has also launched a web site tied to the initiative, which has a dedicated customer and technical support operation.

“Spectrum Community Solutions integrates superior entertainment and communications products with dedicated, 24/7 customer and technical support, helping property owners attract and retain more residents and increase property value,” Jonathan Hargis, Charter’s EVP and chief marketing officer said, in a statement.
