A new high-speed data network was to improve the speed and redundancy of existing systems, while allowing for connectivity of any systems installed in the future. To accomplish the task, ABC Systems wanted to take advantage of the building's advanced data networking infrastructure, which reached into every part of the building and could provide a reliable, high-performance backbone for the system. ABC turned to the full product line offered by Coactive Networks. This approach allows facility and energy managers to have access to building views and controls for all zones from any PC with Internet access, worldwide. The bank's facility managers and engineers can look at critical alarms and monitor subnetworks from generators and power supplies to air handling units - from another office, from home, from anywhere.
Energy managers have a more flexible route to monitor and manage energy usage.
And an occupancy change now just involves moving equipment and plugging it in somewhere else. The network won't become obsolete, even if the control devices do.
