Bandwidth Management
Fair bandwidth for every tenant, even when the whole building is online.
Service Description
What's included
In a shared building, a few heavy users can slow everyone down. We shape and balance traffic across the property — prioritising video calls and streaming, adjusting for peak demand — so every tenant gets a fair, consistent connection.
- Monitoring and managing bandwidth allocation
- Prioritisation of critical applications
- Prevention of network congestion and slowdowns
- Custom traffic shaping based on usage needs
- Real-time reporting and analytics
- Adjustments for peak and off-peak traffic

How we work
Working process
Every property gets the same four steps: survey the building, design the network around it, install with minimal disruption, then monitor and support it 24/7.
Site survey
We walk the building and test where signal carries and where it drops.
Network design
Access points planned around your layout and tenant density.
Installation
Hardware fitted and configured with minimal disruption to residents.
Monitoring and support
We monitor the network 24/7 and take resident support calls — not your site team.
FAQs
Frequently asked questions
What is bandwidth management and why does a multi-tenant property need it?
Bandwidth management is how AirGen ensures fair and efficient distribution of internet access across a property, preventing network congestion. It's particularly important in large multi-tenant buildings such as PBSA and BTR, where many tenants share the same connection, since it makes sure everyone gets smooth, uninterrupted connectivity.
Does bandwidth management prioritise things like video calls and streaming?
Yes, our system prioritises critical traffic such as video calls or streaming while balancing overall usage across the property, which reduces lag and buffering during peak demand.
Can bandwidth allocation be tailored to a specific property?
Yes, we offer custom traffic shaping and management tailored to your property's needs, with adjustments made for peak and off-peak traffic to keep performance consistent throughout the day.
How do I know if bandwidth management is working for my tenants?
The service includes real-time reporting and analytics, giving you insight into network performance and usage trends so you can see how bandwidth is being distributed across the building.
Is this a standalone service or part of managed WiFi?
Bandwidth management can be discussed alongside our other services such as Managed WiFi and 24/7 Monitoring. Get in touch with our Nottingham-based team at enquiries@airgenit.co.uk or +44 (0)115 7720501 to talk through what your property needs.
