Energy savings are an important factor driving the growth of smart building technology. More than 75% of U.S. companies and organizations are paying more attention to investments in energy efficiency and smart building technology.
DASAN Zhone Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: DZSI), a global leader in fiber access transformation for enterprise and service provider networks, announced the introduction of its 5200 family. Additions to DZS’s FTTx Portfolio allow network operators flexibility and control in response to new opportunities and service demands.
Interconnectivity can revolutionise the workplace, but owners must opt for use over gimmick to make smart buildings really work. A The survey of more 400 workers under the age of 45, living in Bangkok, found that 62 per cent ranked a smart security system as the most important feature, while 50 per cent said smart energy management was important to them. Smart parking was a feature supported by 47 per cent of respondents.
Businesses should consider four aspects to create people-centered smart buildings: bringing people together in connected, digital workplaces; supporting new levels of digital collaboration; optimizing the control of facilities; and enhancing resource conservation.
This white paper breaks down the ‘who, what, why and how’ of smart buildings, discussing how to connect buildings, what to consider for sensors, infrastructure, process, real-life case studies, and what the future of smart buildings looks like.
An environmentally friendly smart city will enhance the quality of life for its citizens, improving health and keeping them safe.
Building cabling is not only an issue in the new construction of commercial properties. In many companies the existing cabling no longer corresponds to the latest state of the art. However, the requirements of current applications are high, which is why old cables can often no longer keep up. Nevertheless, many companies are postponing the renewal of their cabling infrastructure.
A vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) is a semiconductor-based laser diode that emits a highly efficient optical beam vertically from its top surface. VCSELs differ from other common semiconductor optical sources such as Edge Emitting Lasers (EEL) that emit light from the side and Light Emitting Diodes (LED) that emit light from all directions. VCSELs technology brings together the advantages of low cost and optical efficiency within a small footprint.
It may be difficult to manage the explosive growth in network systems integrated into the enterprise LAN along with the ubiquitous use of smartphones and mobile apps. But, on the plus side, the diversity of connected devices and systems gives us more tools than ever when it comes to safeguarding lives and property. In an emergency, in-building wireless enables those who are trapped or endangered to call for help; security cameras can identify and locate intruders; and environmental sensors alert building occupants at the first signs of fire.
