In the in-building wireless connectivity world, progress is often viewed through the lens of enabling pervasive data connectivity for all employees working in a particular building at a given time. …
Recently, CBRS and shared spectrum solutions have become the darling of the in-building wireless world. At a simplistic level, CBRS is envisioned to use standardized LTE technology propagated over unlicensed, …
While DAS is essentially a prerequisite for equipping large venues with robust in-building coverage, it remains true that most commercial real estate buildings fall below the size threshold where DAS …
Although refrains such as ?DAS is dead?, and referring to new in-building wireless technologies as ?DAS killers? have become fashionable, both phrases are used more as clickbait than actual market …
According to a survey conducted by the Mobile Sports Report in 2016, nearly 90% of venues surveyed indicated that they had deployed at least a partial DAS, and 75% of …
IBW is taking off, driven by a convergence of technologies (small cells and CRAN, new DAS architectures, MEC, CBRS, MulteFire), connectivity needs (IoT, enterprise and venue applications, high-capacity/low-latency connectivity in …
As industry momentum behind 5G development, and deployments continues to build, edge networks are going to become a fundamental piece of the service enablement puzzle. However, if these networks are …
While it has become somewhat commonplace to take for granted that network operators are working hard on virtualizing aspects of their networks, it is important to remember that the industry …
In a previous post, we discussed the near-term deployment drivers for virtualizing at the network edge. Although scalability and cost savings are a near universal goal with all networking technology …
Although most industry media attention and tradeshow marketing is focused on fun, cool (e.g., AR/VR, autonomous vehicle), and, at times, way out there (e.g., passenger drones) use cases, the opportunities …
At a basic level, network virtualization is fundamentally the same whether regardless of where in an operator’s network it is implemented – be it access, edge or core. Briefly, these …
The United Nations predicts that the world will only have 60% of the drinking water it needs by 2030. If so, then water optimization might trump all IoT use cases. …
Tenants care about the ROI of building automation while building owners are primarily concerned with the NOI that their buildings generate. A key question facing the industry is whether these …
?IoT will generate the data that will drive intelligence that will enable the automation that will support the Fourth Industrial Revolution.? Not to toot my own horn, but I said …
In-building connectivity 101: DAS, CBRS and LP-WAN covered the reasons why these three aforementioned technologies are great candidates to help solve building connectivity issues. Here we discuss key trends that …
In Smart Buildings 101: How connected is connected enough? we discussed key reasons why buildings that do not offer a premium connectivity experience could be in danger of becoming unattractive …
Connectivity in commercial office space has been nearly ubiquitious for 30 years. So, exactly how connected does a building have to be “smart”? For most white collar workers in the …
What’s the NOI implication of tenant comfort? With so much focus on OPEX reduction, can the visceral benefits of building automation equate to measurable benefits for building owners? Many of …
The role that IoT can play in the physical building security can have massive implications on a comprehensive intelligent building solution.? At its most basic level, physical security can be …
A lot was made last week of Samsung’s large investment into AI research, and a media-fueled 5G tech race between China and the United States. While wholly separate subjects, the …
As with people, the definition of what makes a building “smart” can be nebulous. People can have a high degree of cognitive intelligence, but be “stone cold” when it comes …
Before we begin, consider the following quote: “Over 70% of commercial buildings [including hospitals] have insufficient mobile coverage indoors. OnGo improves wireless coverage and capacity, making it ideal for wireless …
Intelligent building technology is poised to transform nearly every aspect of the physical workplace in the coming years. From the ability to centralize the management of myriad of industrial control …
Common Area Maintenace fees, or CAMs, refer to operating expenses that are shared by building owners and tenants in a commerical property.? These fees can range from lighting in a …
A conundrum facing the intelligent building ecosystem is that most large BAS systems are based on proprietary platforms aimed at commercial properties over 500,000 square feet. However, according to Rasheq …
