After years of neglect and a winter of heating failures, New York City's massive public
housing system is finally getting attention from politicians, who are
simultaneously promising a fix and using the crisis to blame and bludgeon their rivals in an election year.
Connected home features such as smart thermostats and lights, keyless locks, and wireless speaker
systems are quickly being introduced in new and refurbished student
housing units, presenting new load on wireless networks, while
simultaneously offering new convenience, cost management and security options for both students and property management.
