Our origin story

2020: Relaunch! "Elauwit Connection" (Elauwit 2.0) was founded.

2009–2010: In the midst of a global recession, Elauwit continues to expand across the country and is twice named to the Inc. 5000 list of fastest growing companies in America.

2002: Elauwit Founder Dan McDonough left legendary newspaper publisher Gannett Co. to start a local news business where everybody in the community got their newspaper each week, in their mailbox, at no charge.

 2025: Elauwit becomes a publicly traded company on the Nasdaq (ELWT), marking a new era of accountability and growth as a connectivity MSP focused on multifamily and student housing communities.

2018: "Elauwit Networks LLC" was acquired by Boingo Wireless, a leading distributed antenna system (DAS) and Wi-Fi provider serving consumers, carriers, and advertisers worldwide.

2008: Elauwit acquires a small, regional internet service provider in South Carolina to begin building a business around connecting multifamily communities.
