-- FTE Networks, Inc. (OTCQX:FTNW)
(FTE or the company), a leading network infrastructure solutions
provider in the technology and communications industries, announced
that its Chief Technology Officer, Mike Bonewitz, has written an
article that was published in the May 2017 issue of RealcommEdge
magazine. Highlights of the article, titled Common Infrastructure
& Open Technologies: The New Imperative for Smart Building
Networks, are presented below. To read the full article, please

The New Imperative for Smart Building Networks Highlights
- The real estate sector has been challenged to evolve to an
ever-increasing networked world, with tenants expecting rapid
broadband and Wi-Fi, as businesses become more data-driven and
consumers depend on internet-delivered entertainment and other
applications. Nevertheless, there is no clear blueprint for
building owners to implement a cost-effective and future-proof
smart building.
- Edge Computing efficiently uses low-cost commodity servers that
enable new capabilities and scaling via continuously upgradeable,
open source software releases in a model that echoes going to the
App Store to select new features.
- Moreover, Edge Computing can occupy a small space and still
enable network, cloud, content and data to converge into a single
network platform in an environment that evolves with
technology.
- Edge Computing architectures are flexible and can
therefore support a wide range of applications to address the needs
of many diverse industries.
- Large commercial buildings can use Edge
Computing for a wide range of smart building applications and
security, ranging from HD video monitoring to power, HVAC control
and locally secure Iot (the internet of things) device
gateways.
- Edge Computing allows property managers to
optimize efficiency.
Earlier this year, CrossLayer, a managed network services
company and a wholly owned subsidiary of FTE Networks, Inc.,
reviewed a new white paper exploring the potential of Edge
Computing in commercial real estate projects. Titled The Potential
for Edge Computing in the Commercial Building, the white paper
provides an overview of Edge Computing technology and explains how
this technology enables the cost-effective development of
in-building and on-campus networks that commercial property
developers can own, operate and monetize. It explores the
efficiencies of Edge Computing technology; how its deployed; and
the flexibility, scalability and security of the platform. In
addition, the white paper provides an overview of locations where
this technology typically is most effective, describes how
enterprises can benefit and gives examples of applications that can
be monetized.
Edge Computing will become a key tool for building and property
managers, said Mike Bonewitz, chief technology officer of both
CrossLayer and FTE Networks. FTE Networks is a leader in assisting
building owners in deploying this technology, and we anticipate
rising demand for Edge Computing in an increasingly connected
world.
