1. Save Energy – Green IT
According to a recent Department of Energy study, connecting lighting devices to a POE network, like a Smart Backbone, saves energy over conventional lighting systems. In addition, unplugging multiple networks, ISP modems, etc. saves even more power.
As cities begin to implement rules and challenges to save energy withing buildings this is a solution that makes a difference. Buildings are responsible for an estimated 40% of all energy consumption worldwide.
2. Enterprise Security
Building vendors are not typically professional IT companies. Can they fully protect their networks and devices? Definitely a challenge which is why many of the networks and
devices connected in buildings are vulnerable to breaches.
New IoT and Smart Building networks being brought to market will require connectivity. As more IoT Smart devices are installed the need for a professionally protected Smart Backbone is paramount to the security of the building.
3. ROI
A Smart Backbone means less cabling resulting in significant savings per project and
installation. Savings have been as high as 90% in previous buildings. A Smart Backbone
allows the deployment of new critical networks and technologies that help save energy and money along with greater tenant amenities and building efficiencies.
The more you connect the more you save!
