An integrated view on tomorrow’s
smart buildings providers, a lack of asset optimisation and
even redundant layers of infrastructure. the capacity to share multiple services across
a single physical infrastructure.
For any enterprise environment, the key
to efficient connectivity depends on an
informed strategy and an integrated
deployment approach. To be effective, an integrated
connectivity strategy should be: Flexible. While each enterprise deployment
is unique, all will need the flexibility to run
the services they need. Infrastructure should
support Wi-Fi, HDBASE-T, DAS, 10G speeds
and the headroom to migrate to 40G and
100G later on. The inclusion of an in-building
cellular solution should support 2G, 3G and
LTE on multiple operator networks.
The temptation is to regard enterprise
connectivity as a series of related but distinct
challenges, such as Power over Ethernet
(PoE), wireless indoor coverage, physical
infrastructure connectivity and integration
into the data centre.
However, dealing with these challenges
individually invites complexity, where vital
efficiency gains can be diminished – or even
reversed – by dealing with multiple solutions
Comprehensive. The strategy must
emphasise both wired and wireless
connectivity needs, including Wi-Fi as well
as distributed antenna systems (DAS) or
small cells. It must also account for external
considerations such as support for public
safety communications.
Simple. Complexity is a hidden but enduring
cost for a piecemeal connectivity execution.
Done well, a deployment will take advantage
of time – and cost-saving opportunities like
modular design, pre-terminated cables and
Dependably supported. Most enterprises
are not equipped with the expertise to
deploy their own infrastructure and must
therefore rely on a dependable network of
connectivity solution distributors, installers
and integrators, each trained and certified by
the solutions manufacturer itself. n
