Quext Acquires Homebase to Redefine Smart Apartment Communities

In a significant move that promises to reshape the landscape of smart apartment communities, Quext, a leading technology company for the multifamily industry, has announced its acquisition of Homebase, a smart building technology platform. This strategic acquisition brings together two industry innovators to offer multifamily operators a one-stop destination for state-of-the-art smart community and managed WiFi solutions, meeting the evolving demands of residents.

Today’s residents increasingly expect the latest in smart technologies, opening up opportunities for property owners to enhance the quality of life for residents while driving substantial income growth from their investments. Dave Marcincowski, Partner at Quext, emphasized this, stating, “By harnessing the combined strengths of Quext and Homebase, we’re poised to deliver the most comprehensive smart community solutions available in the market while advancing our mission to set a new standard for excellence in the multifamily space.”

This acquisition is set to provide multifamily operators with a unified user experience, offering greater flexibility and agility for various property scenarios, whether new constructions, retrofits, complex network requirements, or budget constraints. Quext and Homebase will continue to grow their products independently, ensuring their respective customer bases benefit from ongoing innovation.

Blake Miller, the CEO of Homebase, has been appointed as the new Chief Product Officer at Quext, reinforcing the commitment to tailored solutions for multifamily operations. Miller expressed his enthusiasm, saying, “This acquisition represents a significant leap forward for our development roadmap, bringing a substantial boost to our infrastructure and a tremendous opportunity to elevate our level of customer service for property managers and residents.”

As a united platform, customers will have access to Quext’s LPWAN-based network with an embedded thermostat hub, a Homebase-style hub-less WiFi network solution, or a combination of these services, providing a wider array of choices to meet specific needs.

Dave Gilles, CEO of Madera Companies, remarked, “Quext and Homebase bring together the industry’s best solutions hardware and software expertise, along with extensive experience in real estate and smart building technologies.”

Quext, known for its pioneering smart technology innovations, is poised to bring the next generation of smart technology to operators and residents.
