NEW WHITE PAPER EXPLORES POTENTIAL FOR EDGE COMPUTING IN
COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE PROJECTS
CrossLayerTM-sponsored research explores new options for
building and operating in-building networks
NAPLES, Fla. (May 16, 2017 - InvestorsHub NewsWire) CrossLayer,
a managed network services company and a wholly owned subsidiary of
FTE
Networks, Inc. (OTCQX:
FTNW), a network infrastructure solutions provider, today
announced the release of a new white paper that explores the
potential of Edge Computing in commercial real estate projects. The
white paper, produced by market strategy consultancy iGR, was
developed to help commercial real estate developers and owners
understand the scope of new services possible through this new
technology, and their effect on tenant satisfaction as well as the
operational economics of the property.
Titled, The Potential for Edge Computing in the Commercial
Building, the white paper provides an overview of Edge Computing
technology, and 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 typical locations
where this technology is most effective, how enterprises can
benefit, and example applications that can be monetized.
Businesses and individuals are consuming more and more content
every year, and they expect the seamless ability to access their
content anywhere at any time, without any reduction in speed or
quality, said Iain Gillott, founder and president of iGR. For
building owners, these expectations require a shift in mindset
about how to conceptualize and deliver on a quality tenant and
visitor experience, and the underlying technology is now a critical
foundation for the long-term success of their projects.
Commercial property owners have traditionally relied on
third-party providers to install and operate the networks in their
buildings and multi-unit dwellings, monetizing and collecting
revenues from the property owners tenants. As the demand for
bandwidth and always-on connectivity across a building or campus
has increased, networks are stressed for capacity and speed,
requiring new approaches to building and operating the way networks
are built and operated.
Edge Computing represents an important new opportunity for
building and property managers, said Mike Bonewitz, Chief
Technology Officer of both CrossLayer and FTE Networks. When
combining an Edge Computing-based in-building network with data
analytics, content and information, the entire value chain can be
leveraged by a building owner to improve the connectivity
experience, build a sustainable positioning advantage for the
property, and increase tenant and visitor satisfaction.
