BICSI, the Security Industry Association (SIA) and TIA share a common goal of moving to more efficient security systems to reduce risks and protect soft targets. This article details security advancements since 2013 and looks at the latest technology trends including sensor diversity, object recognition-driven AI an how ICT is championing smart city development.
Five years ago, digital analysts declared that the number of devices had officially surpassed the number of people in the world. And, by 2025, analysts predict there will be 6 to 10 networked devices per person. To keep up with demand, wireless access points (WAPs) can now support up to 200 client devices. This sounds like a lot, until you think about a large office building, university lecture hall, convention hotel, or airport. In facilities like these, large numbers of employees, students, and travelers are connecting multiple devices: a laptop computer, wireless phone, tablet, smart watch, handheld game console, or any number of other connected devices – potentially all at the same time! And, don’t forget building functions: many of the sensors and devices that connect and control lighting, HVAC, and security systems connect wirelessly. Suddenly, those 200 client devices are accounted for pretty quickly.
Download this editorial guide to learn about the trends impacting data center interconnects. The data center interconnect space has seen a wealth of innovation – which means a lot of choices for network operators. From the physical layer to the application of artificial intelligence and open system concepts, the data center interconnect space is rapidly evolving.
The Open Eye Consortium (Open Eye MSA) has released a specification for fully analog 53-Gbps per lane PAM4 transmission over single-mode fiber. The MSA members expect the specification will lead to development of 50G SFP, 100G DSFP, 100G SFP-DD, 200G QSFP, and 400G QSFP-DD and OSFP single-mode modules that are less expensive and complex than digital approaches that require DSPs.
Energy costs related to cooling account for approximately 37% of the overall data center power consumption and are one of the fastest rising data center operational costs! Join Panduit September 25, 10am CST to learn how effective airflow management products can reduce energy costs.
This paper will allow you to make educated decisions when choosing a structured cabling solution that will last for multiple generations of hardware upgrades. It discusses: How the current and future generation of optics work; The pros and cons of each fiber optic polarity option; and The cabling design options for your data center.
Lightel’s DI-2000 inspection probe series features one-touch autofocus. It provides ergonomic ease of use and versatile inspection of the endfaces for fiber-optic male and female, single and multi-channel connectors. The probe features a visual indicator LED that changes from red to green when autofocus is achieved, which is useful during connector inspection in high-density racks. The unit also comes equipped with a built-in flashlight.
The Infinium™ HD Enclosure is an ideal solution for fiber networks in data centers and building networks. The high-density footprint accommodates up to 96 fibers in 1U of rack space. This enclosure has many innovative features designed with the installer, contractor, and network professional in mind, providing a simplified process when installing or working within the enclosure.
Belden’s Digital Electricity Cables are available in copper for power-only applications, and in hybrid copper/fiber constructions to transmit power and data over long distances in a single cable run.
The transmit up to 20 times more power or 20 times more distance than PoE: up to 2,000W or up to 2km reach in indoor and outdoor applications. Digital Electricity Cables support Internet of Things (IoT) and convergence in venues such as airport terminals, convention centers, hospitals, high-rise hotels, stadiums and office towers.
The Telecommunications Industry Association has hired Patrick Lozada, a leading expert in international policy, as Director of Global Policy. In his new role, Lozada will lead TIA’s international policy work and represent TIA on the Executive Committee of the Beijing-based United States Information Technology Office (USITO).
