is acceptable for both today’s and tomorrow’s high-speed applications. How do
you actually qualify and quantify your data center fiber infrastructure? Do your
current fiber practices meet industry best practices and standards? Come see
how your fiber design and installation practices stack up.

Pre-Conference Seminar
8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m.
“Advanced AV System Trends, Technology and Design
Considerations for Datacom Professionals”
Joseph Cornwall – Legrand – New Port Richey, Florida, USA
6 CECs
AV system design and bid specification must balance spatial, radiometric
and temporal elements with display size selected for both content and viewer
position in order to maximize the investment’s utility and value. LAN impact,
network payload, mobile integration, scalability and extreme-bandwidth
connectivity are elements of a successful design. In this seminar, attendees
will explore cutting-edge AV industry trends, technology and best-practices
that answer the challenges of contemporary huddle space, conference room,
classroom and digital signage installations.

“Four Pair PoE: Powering the Future of Intelligent Buildings
and the IoT”
Mark Mullins – Fluke Networks – Everett, Washington, USA
Carol Everett Oliver, RCDD, ESS – SIEMON – Watertown, Connecticut, USA
Todd Frederes – CISCO – West Des Moines, Iowa, USA
Geoffrey Bauer, ESS – Axis Communications – Rockford, Illinois, USA
Luis Suau, ESS – Cicso Systems, Inc. – Miami, Florida, USA
3 CECs
While PoE has been around for some time, recent changes in its capabilities
promise to take it from an occasional power source to the significant force in
powering the IoT and intelligent buildings. With that change will come new
capabilities and experiences for users along with new requirements affecting
cabling design, installation and testing. This seminar will cover what designers,
installers and maintainers need to know when working with the future of remote
power delivery.
“Achieve Better Broadband Access Combining
Fiber Infrastructure and Wireless Networks Over New
Construction Techniques”
Patrick Sims, RCDD – SimCo Engineering – Plymouth, Minnesota, USA
3 CECs
We continue to build upon separate copper, fiber or wireless access solutions. Today
we are forced to look at how we support the Internet of Things (IoT), Virtual Reality,
Artificial Intelligence and Edge Computing. We need to include better than the
“me too” Fiber or Wireless solutions. We have options to combine a robust fiber
distribution network with a robust LTE and 5G Wireless Network leveraging both
licensed and unlicensed spectrum above and below 6 GHz.

“Fundamentals of Passive Optical LAN”
Matt Miller – CallisonRTKL – Baltimore, Maryland, USA
Chad Hines – ITConnect Inc. – Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA
Thomas Ruvarac – Association for Passive Optical LAN – Naperville, IL, USA
6 CECs
Passive Optical LANs are quickly growing as a cost-effect replacement for
traditional copper Local Area Networks by reducing power, space and cooling
requirements, while increasing the longevity of structured cabling. Attendees
in this seminar will first be given fundamental knowledge on the underlying
technologies in POL. The seminar will then build on this knowledge to allow
attendees to understand the various components involved and combine that
with existing design experience to design the infrastructure for a POL.
The seminar will conclude with attendees having a full design to delivery
understanding of Passive Optical LAN.
Pre-Conference Seminar
8:30 a.m.–noon
“HDBaseT Installer Expert Program”
Daniel Shwartzberg—HDBaseT Alliance – Beaverton, Oregon, USA
3 CECs
This seminar is targeted at professionals who would like to learn more about
HDBaseT technology. This seminar includes the following modules: technology
principles, installation do’s and don’ts and best practices, product certification
and interoperability and a hands-on tutorial and demonstration. In addition,
the seminar examines the opportunities and implications of AV/IT integration and
how an HDBaseT hybrid installation (HDBaseT and HDBaseT-IP) can simplify
connectivity, while protecting sunk investment and future-proofing applications.
Pre-Conference Seminars (choose one)
1–4:30 p.m.
