Service Electric and City Center Group Partner to Bring Next-Gen “Instant-On” 10 Gbps Fiber Wi-Fi to Easton’s Newest Luxury Community
The Confluence features the region’s first fully integrated eero Communities managed Wi-Fi network, eliminating traditional move-in internet hassle for residents.
BETHLEHEM, PA — Service Electric Cable TV & Communications has officially launched a next-generation managed Wi-Fi experience at The Confluence, City Center Residential’s brand-new luxury apartment community at 185 S. 3rd Street in downtown Easton. Powered by a massive 10 Gbps fiber backbone, the property features some of the most advanced residential internet technology available in the Greater Lehigh Valley.
Designed to make moving in effortless, every apartment at The Confluence comes equipped with its own private, high-speed wireless network via a ceiling-mounted eero device. Through a seamless integration with the property’s Yardi management system, residents automatically receive a personalized activation link when their lease begins—allowing them to get online the moment they walk through the door without scheduling a technician, bringing equipment, or waiting for installation.
“From the early planning stages, we wanted Wi-Fi to be a premium amenity that works seamlessly for our residents, matching the elevated lifestyle we’re offering in downtown Easton,” said Tara Anthony, Director, New to Market, City Center Residential. “Service Electric was an outstanding partner throughout construction and deployment, working efficiently alongside our crews to deliver a reliable, secure network that was active on day one.”
“It was a pleasure to work with the Service Electric team on the Wi-Fi portion of The Confluence project,” said Jack Reilly, Senior Project Manager, City Center Group. “Not only did they work efficiently around our construction crew to ensure we stayed on schedule, but their customer service and technical support have been top-notch.”
Unlike traditional multi-family building networks, each unit at The Confluence receives a dedicated public IP address—similar to a single-family home. This ensures maximum download speeds for streaming, gaming, and remote work, while providing strict security and complete privacy from neighboring apartments. The seamless Wi-Fi experience extends across all common areas, keeping residents connected in the fitness center, coworking spaces, courtyard, and the rooftop deck.
“When moving into a new home, the last thing people want to worry about is setting up their internet,” said Maxwell Paine, Sales Engineer at Service Electric. “By deploying eero Communities at The Confluence, we’ve eliminated that friction entirely, treating high-speed connectivity as an essential amenity rather than a chore. Collaborating with City Center Group to realize this vision in Easton has been an incredible experience.”
The entire network infrastructure is monitored 24/7 by Service Electric’s local Network Operations Center, ensuring maximum uptime and immediate, dedicated troubleshooting support for residents.
With leasing now underway at The Confluence, this partnership sets a new standard for how technology and modern urban living intersect in the region’s booming residential market.
