Senior Living use case
Multi-carrier connectivity for the business office, resident WiFi, connected care devices, and transport.
Residents live here. The network does not get an off day. A senior living community is a residence, a dining room, a care operation, and a business office sharing one building and one circuit. Residents and their families expect WiFi that works, staff run on tablets and connected devices, and the front office takes rent and fee payments on the same connection. Single-carrier service ties all of it to one contract, so a wing on the wrong side of that carrier's coverage stays weak, and failover inside that contract only moves the connection to another tower on the same network. MergeWiFi puts the building, the devices, and the vehicles on all major carriers at once, with automatic failover between carriers and Watchtower zero-trust security where payment and device traffic runs.
