Constantly evolving technologies are driving connectivity expectations and moving interactions to an entirely new level within the building network’s environment. This evolution of the “Internet of Things,” along with expanding Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) policies are disrupting the traditional fabric of a building network by increasing the number of connected devices. A growing need to process this data at a more efficient rate, new open office layouts, and the convergence of data, voice, power and A/V are all contributing to a more flexible and intelligent building.
A modern network infrastructure must provide a modular and flexible approach to meet the evolving needs of a building and help reduce future costs. It is essential that all the elements of the building network work together seamlessly and efficiently, beyond the physical infrastructure.
At DataStrait Networks, we only partner with the leaders in developing network infrastructure solutions. Legrand is a global specialist in electrical and digital building infrastructure whose approach is aligned with critical building network trends.
