CONFERENCE SCHEDULE Tuesday-Wednesday
1:30-2:30 p.m.
“General Balanced Single-Pair Cabling Infrastructure for
Powering and Communicating with IoT and IBS Devices”
Masood Shariff – CommScope – Santa Clara, California, USA
Balanced single-pair cabling has the advantage of small size, high density and
favorable economics to match the need for connecting large numbers of sensors,
actuators, building automation systems and IoT devices that are becoming
prevalent in smart buildings. This presentation covers generic balanced
single-pair cabling comprised of interoperable components and standardized
interfaces, paving the way for the next generation of connectivity needed to
improve the comfort, security and efficiency of buildings and their occupants.

“TIA’s Smart Buildings Certification Program”
Limor Schafman – Telecommunications Industry Association –
Arlington, Virginia, USA
TIA, with its valued members and the broader Smart Building Ecosystem,
is developing an assessment and certification program for smart buildings.
This presentation will discuss the program and how to participate in it.

“Modern Intelligent Buildings and Their Role in the
Network-Connected Economy”
Todd Boucher, RCDD – Leading Edge Design Group –
Enfield, New Hampshire, USA
Intelligent buildings play a critical role in how organizations compete and thrive
in the network-connected economy and in the communities where we live and
work. Modern, technologically-advanced facilities impact the employee wellness
and retention, improve organizational value and attract more innovation to
a region. This presentation will explore how technology will change the way we
work, discuss our industry’s inflection point and review opportunities to change
how buildings are designed and built.

“The Real Impact of High-Power PoE on Your IP Network”
Cindy Montstream, RCDD, NTS – Legrand –
New London, Connecticut, USA
Jason Finnegan – Legrand – New London, Connecticut, USA
Amir Sekhavat – Superior Essex – Atlanta, Georgia, USA
Do you know what impact high-power PoE will have on your network? The
networks of the past were not designed for the PoE of the future. Lighting
systems using PoE technology are growing in popularity, bringing efficiency to
smart buildings. With IoT, more systems and devices will use PoE, resulting in
cabling being exposed to higher temperatures for long periods of time. Learn
what potential risks exist and what can be done to eliminate them.
“Video: Transmission Choices and Network Impacts”
David Stephens – Belden – Indianapolis, Indiana, USA
This presentation explores HDBaseT, SDVoE, and AVB transmission solutions
and some of the current compression standards. We will look at the effects HDR
and WGC (Wide Gamut 10/12 bit Color) have in building an immersive viewing
experience and the impact these have on transmission. With so many alliances
in place and continuing to develop their solutions, we will look at how integrators
are using these differing solutions to solve the needs of their clients.
“Data Centers from the Edge: What Will it Take to Meet
Demands of Edge Applications?”
Harry Smeenk – Telecommunications Industry Association –
Plano, Texas, USA
Edge computing is revolutionizing how quickly we can process data in real time.
But what’s next? Edge data centers will quickly be developed at a large scale,
creating a large network. The infrastructure for these will be completely
different than today’s traditional data centers. It might be small clusters on
a rack-mounted cabinet located on a street corner, at the base of a cell tower,
or in a shelter behind the corner gas station.
“Eliminating the Confusion from Seismic Codes & Standards”
Daniel Duggan – CADDY (nVent) – Solon, Ohio, USA
Olivier Braquet – CADDY (nVent) – Solon, Ohio, USA
This presentation will describe and demystify the sources and connections
between the building code and its referenced standards for the seismic
protection of telecommunications components, equipment and their supports,
by citing the specific references in them and showing the attendees where to
find this information, rather than having to rely on vague and/or misrepresented
information, which leads to confusion in the industry and unnecessary expense.
