“Valve is building the infrastructure layer of the fast-growing flex workspace market, and it’s a perfect time to capitalize,” said Anton Waitz, General Partner at Project A. The company operates across more than 10,000 buildings in 250 cities and 170 customers today. It’s valued at $30 billion and is projected to reach $300 billion by 2030, according to Valve. The flexible workspace rental market is one of the fast-growing segments in the CRE industry. Valve’s global industry system provides the source-of-truth via specialist tooling and APIs to more than 10,000 flexible workspace buildings globally. That intelligence includes real-time flexible workspace inventory, and an end-to-end booking application programming interface (API) to integrate with their proprietary products and solutions. Meanwhile on the demand side, brokers, booking platforms and portals gain access to market intelligence. Operators can also connect their data into Valve’s global industry system to reach more than 2,000 advisors, partners and online booking platforms that are doing business in the flexible workspace. With Valve’s technology, landlords and operators on the supply side can boost their sales teams with tooling and distribute content and receive bookings from traditional brokerages, listing sites, and on-demand apps through a centralized inventory and distribution management platform. “Valve’s unified system meets a logical need for all industry players in the flexible workspace ecosystem to have one place to streamline how they partner and grow revenues together.” “Valve makes it easy for companies building flexible workspace businesses-whether you are a landlord, operator, brokerage, application or tech entrepreneur,” said Valve CEO Nick Roveta. Valve looks to fill that gap so both parties can transact more efficiently. Meanwhile, brokerages don’t have streamlined digital access to inventory, data and content. Operators are having a tough time leasing space efficiently. More people are getting involved with the flexible workspace sector, but both sides still face challenges. This latest funding round comes at an ideal time for Valve, as the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the transition toward turnkey, flexible workspaces. It also should help accelerate the $4.2 billion of flexible workspace contract value that Valve’s interconnected partners have processed. The company plans to use the funding to expand its reach across North America and Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). ![]() The company provides turnkey sales, marketing and distribution solutions for CRE professionals, online booking platforms and flexible workspace operators to “transact across a global network of workspaces seamlessly.” a pain in the butt for me right now as I have to enable my 2.5G ports on my NAS to act as a switch for some selected 2.5G devices.Valve, a global industry system for flexible workspaces, recently announced a $4.5 million seed funding round led by Project A with participation from Discovery Ventures. only problem I have so far was I just found out my switch only supports 1G or 10G. AX86u has the advantage of the 2.5G that doesnt saturate the 1G as clearly it can sat 1G as I have tested. so I am stuck with 149/36/149 to prevent floor 1& 3 for sharing the same frequency as 5G doesnt go thru 2 floors. My initial plan was Floor1=Channel 100, Floor2=Chn36, Floor3=Chn149. hence the consideration to get another AX router. but still, one of the 2 APS need to be migrated to an AX because that's one of the floors that needs to support 2 AX laptops. but the samsung and windows laptops all work fine. the only way to get the IOS devices onto 5Ghz is 36/160mhz. apart from some weird issue with apple products, when I select 80/160mhz on chn149 or 100, i cant get the ipad m1 or iphone 12&13 to latch onto it. Well, I have 1x AX88u and 2x AC88U that i use as APs. I've picked up a couple of GT-AX6000 routers and will be comparing them to the year and a half old RT-AX86Us soon. Still not at RT-AX86U levels though (of course). The other side of the coin is that I have installed many RT-AX88Us for customers and they're still going without issues. Report - 2x RT-AX68U upgrade over 2x RT-AC86U in wireless backhaul mode Again, newer hardware, newer SDK, newer RF designs/assumptions. Here is why I ditched my RT-AX88U for (eventually) 2x RT-AX86Us in wired (2.5GbE) backhaul mode.Īlthough I haven't done a direct comparison, I'd bet even the RT-AX68U is a better router too (and the WiFi isn't bad either). ![]() Not worth taking a chance on one for the $20 cost of a separate 'real' switch. ![]() Eventually buggy, or buggy from the start. No 8 Port Asus router is worth considering for the LAN ports. Overall, better than the sum of the differences. Newer hardware, newer SDK, better RF design.
