Without the right plan, integrating smart technologies into a new or existing building can be a major challenge. At its core, a building’s consolidated IT/OT network serves as the foundation on which all smart technologies are layered. Because of this, resiliency must be designed and managed from the network up.
While several aspects of smart building operation may be regarded like the Wild West, with rules and standards undefined, multiple generations of standards already exist for the communications cabling systems serving these properties.
SPE offers the security that many purpose-built systems lack, and is optimized to reduce labor and materials costs in a network’s physical layer.
This presentation, from the Fall 2022 BICSI Conference, discusses why SPE technology is important to Building Automation Systems, provides an overview of standards and applications, and an update on SPE development.
Digital twins, paired with ubiquitous broadband, offers the building sector the promise of reducing both cost and greenhouse gas emissions while improving operational efficiency and transparency.
Steve Cowles and special guests Bob Voss, and Arvind Patel discuss Single Pair Ethernet benefits and use cases.They also give an update on the recently released TIA-568.5
Balanced Single Twisted-Pair Telecommunications Cabling and Components Standard.
New IEEE 802.3 standards and technologies deliver power and data over a single pair of wires to address the challenges of ‘operational technology” (OT) automation applications and simplify OT networks. This talk will explore some of the unique features and reasons for Single Pair Ethernet’s growing adoption in the OT space leveraging modern technology to revisit core Ethernet features and speeds suitable for automation and control applications.

Experts consider Single Pair Ethernet to be the next generation of communication architecture in automation. The concept behind it is essentially an extension of the Ethernet to the sensor, that is wherever “tracks” (in the literal sense) rather than data highways are needed in every inch of space within the plant – it is compact, flexible and offers extensive reach.
