The importance of customizing digital services in student dorms

Written by Televes Corporation | 9/13/24 8:40 AM
The easier the access to university is – thanks to scholarships –, the more important it is to create spaces where students can bloom during this new phase. Hence the increasing number of student dorms in Spain. According to the Estudio Informes Especiales: Residencias para Estudiantes (Special Reports Study: student dorms) conducted by the Sectorial Observatory DBK, there were 1093 student dorms running in Spain by the end of 2022, amounting to a total of 110 368 places.

This proves that investment in this field has ramped up by 137% compared to previous years   – data from 2021. We should analyze the way a company can set itself from others so they are picked over other options. Televes Corporation has outlined a few recommendations to help you position your student dorm among one of the favorite options.


Customization of digital services as a differentiating element in student dorms

Due to the evolution of technology, customization no longer depends on aesthetics, but on digital elements. That is why student dorms that offer optimal ultra fast connectivity, feature several Wi-Fi access points and are able to support times of higher traffic without being affected at all will be ranked in the first places – bear in mind that having access to the Internet is core for students, as they need it for their projects, and their online classes and exams.

This is also crucial if we want to stand out from other conventional student dorms, to offer comfortable and safe spaces and to provide residents with leisure choices that make them feel at home. One of the services contributing to meet those goals is casting, which allows users to stream contents from any device – such as cell phones – to the TV. Even though this service is mainly intended for leisure, it can be also applied to student environments by displaying educational contents that may help them study.

 

Investing in streaming services aimed at university students

Students find their leisure time extremely valuable after their studying hours. In a world where conventional TV doesn’t meet the needs of young people anymore, offering streaming services can make you stand out from the competition. In this field, Televes Corporation has a range of different products to build the proper infrastructure. An example of such options is high-performance, multi-service IPTV systems allowing for the greatest degree of customization of the contents intended for students via their room TV.

 

Cost of the customization of digital services

Although the cost of those services is expected to be very high, it is actually not. Even though an initial investment for the infrastructure is required, mid- /long term costs have a downward trend.


Broadband GPON installations that are used to build up digital ecosystems for student dorms normally draw on less resources. Thus, energy efficiency is greater, which allows to save costs and to reduce the ecological footprint. This system uses fiber optics as its main connection means, which normally requires less maintenance – that’s without taking into account the advantages of fiber optics itself, like lower signal losses.


To sum up, we at Televes Corporation highly recommend that student dorms enhance their customization levels as much as possible to set themselves apart from competitors and position themselves as benchmarks in this industry.
