In-Building Return on Innovation: Designing an OT Network Architecture for Smart Operations and Secure Connectivity

Date: 6/3/2025 Time: 4:15 pm - 5:00 pm Location: 102

The foundation of smart innovation requires venues to provide a secure yet flexible architecture along with seamless connectivity for their IT and OT systems. The traditional approach to building system networks—disjointed, siloed, and difficult to manage—is no longer sustainable to achieve optimum efficiencies in the management and security of these networks. Whether wireless or wired, whether Wi-Fi, private, or cellular, a well-planned and adaptable technology architecture can ensure the right transformation driven by the changing needs of the environment. This panel will explore key considerations for designing an infrastructure that enables seamless communication between HVAC, lighting, security, and other systems while ensuring cybersecurity and resilience.

Wireless Return on Innovation: Examining Wireless Services Options & Use Cases

Date: 6/3/2025 Time: 5:15 pm - 6:00 pm Location: 102

Reliable, high-performance connectivity has become essential in commercial real estate, driven by the proliferation of data-hungry cloud-based applications, smart building technologies, and the evolving demands of hybrid work environments. In-building wireless challenges, including signal interference, network congestion, and inconsistent coverage, can hinder productivity and tenant satisfaction. This session will examine the role of Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) in addressing these issues, covering key aspects such as system architecture, deployment strategies, and integration with existing infrastructure. Industry experts will discuss scalability, cost considerations, and regulatory factors, while showcasing real-world implementations that enhance connectivity, support 5G expansion, and enable next-generation IoT applications.
