What is WiredScore?

WiredScore assesses, certifies, and improves digital connectivity for real estate on a global scale. The certification is currently the only one assessing digital connectivity for real estate. To date, more than 65 million sq m of real estate space has received WiredScore certifications, across more than 160 cities.

WiredScore measures:

2. Building infrastructure – Point of Entry
3. Building infrastructure – Telecommunications room
4. Building infrastructure – RisersWhat
