Overview.
The Smith Collective is a large-scale residential precinct transformed from the 2018 Commonwealth Games Athletes’ Village into Australia’s largest Build-to-Rent community.
Designed to support modern urban living at scale, the precinct required a connectivity solution capable of delivering seamless performance across more than 1,250 apartments and shared community spaces.
Gigafy's Role.
Gigafy designed and delivered a precinct-wide, high-performance connectivity network tailored to the scale and complexity of The Smith Collective.
The solution features a single SSID Wi-Fi network across the entire precinct, allowing residents to move seamlessly throughout the development without interruption. The network was deployed rapidly, with a full rollout completed in just three weeks, enabling residents to move in with instant connectivity from day one.
The Outcome.
- 1,252 apartments connected
- Full precinct rollout completed in 3 weeks
- Over 80% resident uptake within two months
- Seamless, building-wide connectivity across apartments and communal spaces
- Long-term infrastructure supporting ongoing revenue and reduced operational complexity
Today, Gigafy continues to operate and support the network, delivering reliable connectivity and long-term performance for residents, management and ownership.
