Building Solutions
As building owners, facility managers and tenants fully understand the
impact modern technology will have on their business operations now and
into the future, they will also realize the benefits of network
integration of these various systems, devices and applications within
their buildings or campuses. Rapid advances in technology and the
emergence of enterprise distributed computing platforms created the
need to integrate IT systems. This integration of applications required
a single, low voltage cable distribution infrastructure. Information
technology in buildings does not refer only to PCs and telephones, but
also
Building Automation Systems (BAS), such as security (surveillance and
access control),
Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning (HVAC), and Fire/Life/Safety (FLS)
as they transition from electro/ mechanical and pneumatic technology to
microprocessor based software driven systems. Most manufacturers of
major building automation systems offer computer based, software driven
systems, based on distributed processing architectures. These systems
are required to interface with other building automation systems and
devices, and also to interface with voice, data, LAN and video systems
located within a building or campus.
The ongoing protocol standardization, the new cabling infrastructure
standard - EIA/TIA 862, new technology developments, and announcements
from building automation industry leaders demonstrate the need for
common protocols and interfaces for building automation systems, and
requirements for structured cabling solutions to provide integrated
networking and connectivity over Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) and
fiber optic cabling.
Many building systems are already automated or are moving rapidly in
that direction. The major constraint to the development of the
Intelligent Building has been the inability of devices made by
different manufacturers to communicate with each other and other
sophisticated office automation systems found in any modern facility.
Programmable logic controllers (PLC), thermostats, direct digital
controllers (DDC), programmable light controls and sophisticated FLS
systems require a common wiring platform to communicate and network
with each other in the near future.
CommScope has been a major player in the Intelligent Building
infrastructure market since its beginning, dating back to the mid
1980s, providing solutions to connect a building's many low voltage
systems for maximum performance.
