Johnson Controls and Microsoft are collaborating to digitally transform how buildings and spaces are conceived, built, and managed using Azure Digital Twins, a comprehensive platform that will support the entire ecosystem of building and device management technologies with digital cloud technologies.
Digital building technologies are developing faster than designers, users, and other stakeholders are used to assimilating. PropTech is an emerging set of tools that makes buildings intelligent, enabling them to communicate with each other, their components, and contained objects. They automatically collect data about their users, aiming to improve their performance. One example is Digital Twins: Technology that creates a virtual representation of the physical assets, from buildings to contained objects, facilities, and interacting users.
Built by TIA and UL, SPIRE is the industry’s first smart building program that holistically measures building technology and performance. Available now, the SPIRE Self-Assessment online tool can evaluate building intelligence based on an expertly curated, objective framework. And coming soon, the SPIRE Verified Assessment and Rating offers a complete smart building evaluation with the opportunity to earn a Smart Building Verified Mark.
The six installment in Bob Hult’s Technology Trends series examines the rise of data centers and the shift to cloud and edge computing.
Fiber optics technology uses flexible, transparent glass (silica) or plastic strings to transmit information. Each strand is equipped to carry light between the two ends of the fiber.Because they……
In order to keep up with the need for more connected devices, as well as demands for increased data speeds and reliability, technology standards for cellular networks are expanding into their fifth generation, called 5G. Learn the benefits and challenges of 5G mmWave, including compliance testing and promising use cases.
This 5G Q&A will give you a good intro to 5G: how does is differ from today’s 4G LTE, what are the new IoT uses cases and how can MNOs benefit from G5 technology.
Edge computing reduces the latency between a device and service where latency is the roundtrip time between two systems over a network. While reducing latency is one of the its main benefits, edge computing has other benefits that will be exposed as 5G use cases are discussed.
Are expanded beam connector systems an alternative to the MTP®/MPO connector? Check out Rosenberger’s White Paper to learn about the requirements placed on multifiber connectors and what is needed to ensure uninterrupted, high data transmission rates.
5G, the fifth-generation cellular network, will be a key enabler of many emerging technologies. Smart cities, smart factories, autonomous vehicles and many other tech targets will all depend on 5G. But as wonderful as it will be, 5G comes with a whole slew of design challenges. Industry veteran Fram Akiki explains the benefits and design challenges of 5G.
