What are the hottest and predominant
technology trends that will disrupt the
engineering and infrastructure industry in the
coming years?
As more and more systems and devices become
network connected, the so-called “internet of things”
will certainly spur increases in bandwidth capacity
and speed to accommodate it. Not only that but as
technologies like video surveillance systems and
Wi-Fi modernize and expand, a 10 gigabit per second
minimum from each building (IDF) to on-site data
center (MDF) is recommended.
Some other things to keep an eye on are real time
network monitoring, environmental conditions and
bandwidth utilization.
How P2S Engineering adjusts to these new
trends?
P2S will have to converge end user needs with the
latest vendor system offerings to ensure client needs
are met considering the near future without overdesigning with unnecessary features.
Knowledge gained through attendance at annual
conferences and expos and P2S Tech Team staff
engagement with national codes and standards
committees will also be pivotal in our adjustment.
A final way we can keep on the cutting edge is
to book a sufficient quantity of technology-focused
learning opportunities to obtain knowledge and stay
informed on trends specific to each technology and
product area.
From a competitive standpoint, what sets
P2S Technology services apart from other
Engineering companies?
P2S has grown into a one-stop MEP shop, with
synergy for building-wide infrastructure design.
Additionally, our staff possesses significant
experience on the owner/client side which makes us
better attuned to anticipate their needs.
In higher education, our working knowledge
of nearly all regional higher education facilities
has granted P2S expertise in regards to their
specific needs. In the telecommunications side,
P2S’ low voltage system design capabilities for
telecommunications cabling, audiovisual systems and
physical security systems have grown exponentially.
