If you’ve ever tried to build a “smart community,” you know how complicated it can get. One

vendor for locks. Another for smart devices. Another for internet. Multiple contracts, massive

upfront costs, and when something breaks, the finger-pointing begins.

At Quext, we’ve always believed there had to be a simpler way. And a big part of that simplicity comes from working with great partners who share our vision. That’s why I’m excited to share that we’ve integrated with GFiber to launch Quext Smart Communities powered by GFiber, a unified platform that brings Access Control, IoT, and Managed Internet together and eliminates the fragmentation multifamily and proptech have dealt with for years.

No more juggling systems. No more “Who do I call?” headaches. Just one integration, one

platform, one seamless experience. As our Chief Strategy Officer, Blake Miller, said: “When

technology fades into the background and just works, that’s when it’s truly powerful.” And that’s exactly what we’ve built with GFiber. A platform that makes connectivity effortless for residents and property teams alike.

Smart communities shouldn’t be stitched together from disconnected apps and vendors. They should just work. GFiber delivers a future-proof solution with multi-gig speeds and Wi-Fi 7. Quext provides the smart community platform that runs on top of it. Together, we’re replacing a patchwork of tools with a streamlined solution that’s reliable, affordable, and future-ready.

For owners and operators, this integration is about more than convenience; it’s about unlocking new value. Instead of heavy upfront hardware costs, everything is bundled into one predictable monthly price.

Even better, owners can generate new net operating income (NOI) through bulk pricing and optional technology revenues directly in the Quext dashboard. And because we’re the only platform with direct integrations into RealPage, Yardi, and Entrata, move-ins and move-outs happen automatically. That means less manual work, fewer systems to learn, and a smoother experience for everyone.

For residents, we’re delivering what the industry has been asking for: a true “one-app” experience. App fatigue is real, and having to download multiple apps just to live in an apartment is no longer acceptable. With Quext, when residents walk in the door, their internet works from day one- and from there, one app controls everything: door access, thermostats, Wi-Fi plans, and guest permissions. No technician visits, no juggling multiple passwords, and no app overload.

Property teams are already stretched thin, and our platform automates the routine work so they can focus on what matters most. When a lease starts, the system automatically sends access credentials and internet setup. When a resident moves out, the unit resets on its own. One dashboard. One support team. Total peace of mind. This integration with GFiber isn’t just a new product; it’s a new operating model for our industry.

We’re solving the biggest pain points owners face while creating a modern living experience residents actually love. Reliable fiber internet, powerful device automation, and seamless access control, all delivered through one trusted platform.

At Quext, our mission has always been to make technology serve people. With GFiber, we’re doing exactly that: making smart communities simple, scalable, and sustainable for the future.

If you’re ready to see what the next generation of smart living looks like, we’d love to show you what’s possible.
