Additionally, Parks Associates research reveals that 34% of U.S. broadband households are MDU residents. MDU categories consist of apartments, condominiums, duplexes, quadruplexes, townhomes and dormitories.
Consumers have a growing expectation for smart home technology and these new devices help differentiate with modern lifestyle marketing and practical benefits. Consumers living in apartments are more likely to be technology adopters than those living in all broadband households; Parks notes that currently, 43% of MDU residents report using smart home devices.
Parks Associates data consistently finds that security/safety use cases resonate among all U.S. broadband households, and we anticipate seeing networked cameras added to more properties.
