## CONNECTIVITY AT THE HEART OF THE WELLNESS SMART HOME

At the heart of this wellness smart home is [connectivity](https://www.convergedservicesinc.com/the-basics). In order for any of these smart devices and features to work, Internet is required. [Verizon](https://lakenonasocial.com/lake-nona-partners-with-verizon-to-bring-5g-to-the-community) provides its services as the backbone to WHIT, but as this wellness home leads the way to how smart homes are built, other Internet providers will be a necessary part of this innovative way to build.

WHIT is leading the smart home industry with its living lab innovation and tomorrow thinking. However, today's average home can also become a smart home. By ensuring your house has a strong, secure and reliable Internet connection, you can transform your home into a wellness hub.
