Does keeping up with the technological Jones’ got you down? It’s frustrating even as an individual, isn’t it? A six-year-old cell phone is not much more than a high-tech paper weight. Invested in a cool set of Sonos speakers five years ago? You’ll need to replace the whole system if you want to add a product. UGH..
These are the pains of constant technology advances.
But, what if you’re operating a portfolio of real estate assets?
Thankfully with Morgen the choice doesn’t have to be either 1) own out of date tech or 2) pay a premium to keep up with the newest devices. There’s a better way!
The biggest mistake in real estate technology is reliance on two common utilities: WiFi & cellular. The pitfalls of both are extensive. Here’s where they fall apart:
- Mesh Networks – great in theory, but these solutions become unreliable with increased density of data. These networks send big, inefficient sized messages and require continuous reliability on other people’s equipment. Lastly, mesh networks come with a security risk. It’s easy to take down a mesh network.
- WiFi – Not only is WiFi expensive to build and maintain, it’s also the wrong technology for the job. You need this utility most when a tenant has moved out (and subsequently turned off the WiFi)!
- Cellular – 3G, 4G, 5G.. it’s a world of endless upgrades in hardware. Not only is cellular unnecessarily expensive, it comes with dead spots and requires power. And, worst of all, you don’t own the network!
Imagine a time tested, efficient technology that will not be replaced by the ever-increasing speed of technological development.
A Better Solution: MorgenCONNECT™
Unlike WiFi and cellular technologies, which are designed for high bandwidth communications, MorgenCONNECT™ is specifically engineered for IoT sensor data. This is crucial because sensor data involves small bits of information that need to be transmitted efficiently and reliably. Here’s why MorgenCONNECT™ stands out:
- You own the network
- It can’t go obsolete – unlike WiFi and cellular-based technologies
- Utilizes ultra-low power devices
- Ultra-efficient, peer-to-peer messaging
- Highly secure with encryption on both ends
Get out of the rat race of endless technological upgrades.
The way this works for our partners is simple. Ultra-affordable, ultra-efficient devices gather data from any number of units in a property portfolio. That information is consolidated by a single Vortex Hub and sent to our MorgenCONNECT™ gateway. Some partners are even able to opt for a hub-less solution, where our ThermostatGENIUS devices communicate direct to MorgenCONNECT™.
Whether you have 1000 units or 1, our system consolidates your data and makes it actionable. Furthermore, at 1000 units, we can do this at 1/1000th of the demand of the same task done with cellular.
If you’re suffering from your dependence on WiFi or cellular technology, let’s discuss what Morgen can do for you.
