Smart Building Networks: Converged Infrastructure Done Right

The convergence opportunity

One structured cabling and switching backbone can carry every building system, reducing cost and simplifying maintenance.

Design principles

  • Separate VLANs or VRFs for each system
  • PoE budgeting for cameras and access points
  • Redundant uplinks for critical systems
  • Central monitoring of all devices
  • Strict firewall rules between systems

Security of IoT devices

Building devices are rarely patched and often ship with weak credentials. Inventory them, change defaults and restrict their network access.

Future-proofing

Plan fibre risers and spare capacity for future sensors, 5G small cells and higher Wi-Fi speeds.
