Vest said distributed networks inside connected buildings ?increases the value of your property. This is very good for large landowners, it?s good for basically all the verticals that have physical, bricked property. About 80% of the mobile traffic is generated indoors. Without an indoor network that mobile traffic may not be generated. Because it?s a structured wiring network, it can support any IoT use case, any of them that are out there.?
