Pics, Tips & Insights From 2021 SSI & Total Tech Summits

SSI Senior Editor Rodney Bosch, left, moderated a session focused on the multi-dwelling unit (MDU) market. These residential properties in commercial settings represent enormous opportunity for technology solutions providers — both with the real estate management firms and tenants/homeowners ― to deploy and maintain security, life-safety and automation systems. Other buildings with MDUs — such as hotels, dormitories, retirement communities present similar needs and opportunities.

The session panelists included Richard Arena, management consultant, ARC Systems Management; Chuck Robinson, general manager, ACT; and, John Butrim, head of builder, multifamily and HOA divisions at ADT.
