- A Reality Check: Is Intelligent Infrastructure Still a Priority?
Technology for technology sake is no longer an option. While there are both operational as well as competitive advantages to having an intelligent building strategy, we have to address the question: “Has the momentum for connecting our buildings, communities and cities slowed down and, if so, why? What technology gaps exist that may materially impact our smart building strategies?” What are the bottom line facts regarding how these automation strategies are impacting the costs of operating and maintaining our facilities? In this session we will discuss some of the technological and social considerations necessary for successful intelligent building projects – whether a single building or connected community.
o Labib Matta, Senior Advisor and Partner, was asked to speak as an expert advisor providing immediate solutions and revealing unique opportunities.
- Smart Planning + Smart Integration = Smart Cities
Imagine having to make the strategic technology decisions necessary to design and build an intelligent city infrastructure. Although technology is advancing, we’re still in the infancy stages when it comes to service level integration. There is still a lot of work to be done in order for the dream of the "ubiquitous", connected city to be realized. Whether creating a roadmap for building a broadband infrastructure or the development of the network architectures for the delivery of the myriad of necessary services, health care to utilities. How can smart "master planning" help maximize the return from the technology investment? In this session we’ll explore the major considerations and some of the leading edge work being done in this arena.
