3. Understanding Infrastructure
Getting the infrastructure right first:
Everything is about convergence in a modern building
The practice of combining ICT with all other communications systems within a building to create one integrated solution that feeds data into central servers, shares it with other applications and allows a 360 degree picture of a building’s operation and usage.
The resulting intelligence gives you the power to drive efficiencies, productivity improvements and cost reduction.

5. The Converged Network Bringing it Together:
The competitive landscape for smart building managed services is evolving fast, being driven by new technologies, big data, and a wide variety of service models
The benefit of an integrated solution though, is in its ability to manage and coordinate all these systems on a single platform
The use of cloud services in this context gives you ultimate flexibility to scale up or down, rationalise properties, maximise your investment and easily change a system as new systems become available.

7. Intelligent Buildings Definition
“A building that integrates technology and process to create a facility that is safer, more comfortable and productive for its occupants, and more operationally efficient for its owners.
Advanced technology — combined with improved processes for design, construction and operations — provide a superior indoor environment that improves occupant comfort and productivity while reducing energy consumption and operations staffing.”

9. Proprietary Cabling Systems
The Analogue Approach
Proprietary Cabling Systems
Coaxial
Low Voltage & Power Cable
Structured Cabling (copper & fibre)
Supporting:
IP Cameras
Door access control
Lighting
Audio visual
BMS/BAS
Computers & networking
etc

10. Cat 6A (IP) Structured Cabling Systems
The Logical Approach
Cat 6A (IP) Structured Cabling Systems
Supporting:
LED Lighting
IP Cameras
Door access control
Audio visual
BMS/BAS
Computers & networking
etc

11. The Cabling Choice Cabling Options:
The data throughput of a building is increasing and it is essential that ‘roadway’ can support technologies that are emerging
Standards documents advise using a minimum of Cat 6A to support these growing data demands
Shielded Cat 6A provides additional benefits in terms of de-rating factors due to heat build up
Siemon connectors specifically designed to support PoE applications.
The UK market is changing rapidly due to the European CPR requirements – Could this effectively mean the end of Cat 5e & Cat 6?
Zone box location can be based upon guidance provided in EN (distributed building services) as well as ANSI/TIA-862-A (BAS systems)
A coverage area radius of 12 meters is generally recommended as an optimum size to accommodate most converged cabling networks

12. The Analogue Approach LAN Cabling Lighting HVAC Sensors AV Access
Traditional designs & implementations require lots of different cabling systems and installers
Question: Are all of these different and proprietary systems all CPR compliant?

13. The Logical Approach LAN Cabling Lighting HVAC AV Access Sensors
Zone Enclosure

14. Designed for Resiliency
The Logical Approach
Faster & Easier Installation
Data cables are easy to pull, terminate and test compared to segregated services
Simplified Operation
With IP Convergence: software controls all aspects of the fixture (power, data, control)
Proven technology
For large-scale workspace IP convergence
Designs Made Easy
