In the face of the global Covid-19 pandemic, smart buildings around the world are reopening for business, learning, and more. What can technology do to help you return with confidence? How will you be enable social distancing, reduce the spread of airborne and surface contaminants, manage energy performance, sustain healthy and safe environment, etc.? Building technology can support organizations in taking measures to protect employees, customers and partners.
5G is billed as the connectivity fabric that will support a new era of consumer and enterprise experiences. But, in the context of smart buildings, 5G is part of a larger equation that also encompasses artificial intelligence and the internet of things. The combination of the three–5G, AI and IoT–will allow for real-time data collection and analysis that will make buildings more efficient and more user-friendly. Building owners with a robust technology strategy will be able to leverage these rapidly developing solution sets to reduce net operating expense while leveraging the technologies to drive up lease rates by providing new services.
The Asia Direct Cable Consortium has chosen NEC to build its new high-performance submarine cable. The finished cable will feature multiple pairs of high capacity optical fibers designed to carry more than 140 Tbps of traffic to allow for high capacity transmission of data across the East and Southeast Asian regions. As a result of ADC’s high capacity, the new submarine cable will be able to support bandwidth-intensive applications driven by technological advancements in 5G, the cloud, IoT and AI.
Join this free webinar to learn about the technological drivers for 400G optics and Edge Data Centers, what consequences these new technologies have on optical cabling, what Edge Data Centers are, and how potential connectivity solutions could look like. The webinar will also address the emerging 400G optical market and the challenges faced on the connectivity end.
This White Paper investigates and documents each aspect of the cable joining and the ribbon fiber splicing process of ultra-high density fiber optic cable and identifies improvements in cable preparation, closure preparation, ribbon fiber preparation, and the mass fusion splicing processes achieved since a previous study was published as a technical paper at the 64th IWCS in 2015.1 By taking a systems approach to the overall splicing process, it has been possible to improve efficiencies in the cable joining and splicing process to realize additional system cost savings with this technology.
Join TIA for the next installment of our webinar series, Assessing Smart Buildings, as we discuss In-Building Connectivity. This webinar will examine how the information and communications technology (ICT) networks within smart buildings enable improved work environments for employees and tenants. Our expert panelists will discuss how businesses and building owners are redefining strategies around connectivity for a safer and more productive return to work in the office after months of working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic.
A Green Building is one where environmentally responsible and resource efficient structures and processes have been put in place throughout its lifecycle, creating a good quality of life for residents whilst ensuring sustainable practices are accessible, whether this is recycling services on site, sensors for communal lighting, or paperless tenancy applications and correspondence.
The Internet of Things (IoT) for business can improve processes, reduce costs, deliver operational efficiencies and transform productivity. Here are three things that every business should be doing now to make the most of the opportunities that IoT presents: Choose the right connectivity, be security ready, and keep on top of regulations.
Join Superior Essex’s Amir Sekhavat for a panel discussion focused on the “Living Product Challenge: Providing a Path to #Sustainable Materials & Buildings” as part of the #LivingFuture2020 Online Summit Series!
Some leadership teams might think back to the step from 3G to 4G and remember that it was relatively easy. You got new phones for your staff, dongles, a few training modules, and you’re good to go. The shift to 5G will be significantly more complex because 5G’s speed, reliability and flexibility will have a profound impact on value chains and processes, IT and personnel, across every sector. It will allow the collection, analysis and interpretation of data that could, if handled correctly, make every corner of a business more efficient. It provides the widespread untethered connectivity that will unlock all other digital transformation ingredients – IIoT, big data, cloud computing, AI, robotics, digital twins and more.
