SameieNett
a digital foundation for residential buildings.
What if a condominium association could own and understand its digital infrastructure in the same way it owns other shared facilities? SameieNett brings networking, Wi‑Fi, security, access, cameras, IoT and technical operations together in one scalable architecture.

From internet connection to digital platform
Wi‑Fi is only the entry point.
SameieNett is designed as an architecture for the building’s entire digital ecosystem. Once the foundation is in place, new services can be added without reinventing the infrastructure every time.
Secure segmentation
VLANs separate management, residents, TV, guests, technical operations, IoT and service traffic.

RF interference, port errors, latency, packet loss and resource usage can be included in a unified operations model.

The same infrastructure can support cameras, mobile access, NFC, logging and centralized administration.

Enterprise architecture
Three layers. One manageable building.
The principle is simple: a central core, standardized distribution and clearly isolated endpoints. This reduces complexity and makes the model reusable.

Segmentation & security
A building should not be one large home network.
A standardized VLAN model makes it possible to separate homes and services, simplify troubleshooting and create clear security boundaries.
| VLAN | Name | Purpose | Principle |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | SPS-MGMT | UniFi, switches, APs and administration | Restricted |
| 20 | SPS-BEBOER | Internet for residents / home segments | Isolated |
| 30 | SPS-TV-ALLENTE | TV, set-top boxes and IPTV | Service |
| 40 | SPS-GUEST | Guest network and temporary access | Separated |
| 50 | SPS-DRIFT-TEKNISK | Technical room, energy system and gates | Operations |
| 60 | SPS-IOT-KAMERA | Cameras, IoT and sensors | Policy |
| 70 | SPS-SERVICE | Supplier and service access | Controlled |
From physical building to digital structure
The infrastructure already exists. It needs to be organized.
Fiber, technical rooms, apartment cabinets and distribution cabling are the physical reality. The SameieNett concept is about using this structure more systematically and preparing it for more services over time.

FAQ · networking in residential associations
Questions boards and developers actually ask.
What is SameieNett?
SameieNett is a concept for standardizing networks and digital infrastructure in shared residential properties, with centralized operations, segmentation and the ability to add more services.
Why use VLANs in a residential building?
VLANs can separate administrative systems, residents, guest networks, TV, cameras, IoT and service access. This creates clearer security boundaries and easier troubleshooting.
Is this only a Wi‑Fi solution?
No. Wi‑Fi is one part. The architecture is intended as a foundation for access, cameras, technical systems, energy, sensors and automation.
Can the concept be used in existing buildings?
Yes, but physical cabling, fiber, technical rooms and apartment cabinets must be mapped. A site survey is required before a real solution can be engineered.
Can this be planned during new construction?
Early design is precisely when structured cabling, technical rooms, AP placement, cameras and access can be coordinated most effectively.
