TRACK: SMART BUILDING SYSTEM SHOWCASE
INCLUDED SESSIONS ARE:
DAS/IN-BUILDING WIRELESS – New Technology, Coverage Standards & Partnership Options
Date: 6/6/2018 Time: 11:30 am - 12:30 pm Location: Nolita 1
We now live in a world of extremely flexible communications powered by mobile technologies. This requires robust, seamless, high-speed connectivity virtually everywhere, including inside our buildings. Whether it is an office, a mall, university, hospital or hotel, mobile access is no longer a luxury, but a necessity. Despite the mobile movement, the reality is that the ‘inside of our buildings have not kept pace with the outside’. Other than major, high profile, customer dense venues, ordinary buildings still struggle to offer the kind of mobile connectivity required. This has to change. This session will provide insight into next generation technologies such as 5G and Private LTE (CBRS), new strategies for traditional DAS and In-Building Wireless, and review the best practices for providing high quality wireless access inside buildings.

PHYSICAL SECURITY – Video Surveillance & Access Control is Just the Start
Date: 6/6/2018 Time: 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm Location: Nolita 1
Given the chaotic world we live in, providing safe and secure buildings and campuses has unfortunately taken on new meaning. For multiple reasons, building owners and operators are required to take it to the next level for physical security, video surveillance and access control. Today’s systems are more sophisticated and require a higher level of technical expertise to integrate, operate and support. In addition, issues such as privacy and cybersecurity add complexity for designers of today’s physical security systems. This critical session will provide attendees the opportunity to preview the latest advancements in surveillance, access and sensors; and to discuss the merits of a 21st century physical security strategy.

LIGHTING – LED, Low Voltage, Networked, Sensors & More
Date: 6/6/2018 Time: 3:15 pm - 4:15 pm Location: Nolita 1
One of the most common and important systems installed in buildings is lighting. It's a fundamental requirement for even basic building operations. Over the past few years we've ushered in multiple generations of lighting technologies—replacing traditional fluorescent with low-voltage networked LEDs, often augmented with a variety of sensors. Lighting technologies are becoming much more than just lumens, moving toward becoming virtual building operating platforms. This showcase will focus on all the new functions and features offered by the world’s most innovative solution providers and will present a strategic discussion on the role that lighting plays in the overall smart building strategy in relation to connectivity and operating system functionality.

LOCATION SERVICES – Occupancy, Utilization, Wayfinding and Traffic Analysis are Just the Beginning
Date: 6/6/2018 Time: 4:45 pm - 5:45 pm Location: Nolita 1
The revolution has begun. It has become apparent to everyone that sensors should be everywhere. They are inexpensive, small, and easy to include in almost all equipment. With expanded network access, it becomes easy to retrieve information. Traffic analytics, space utilization, occupancy, wayfinding and other location-based services are some of the applications being deployed. The sensors are just the first part of the equation; it is the data retrieval, organization and analytics that provide the true opportunities. There are many issues to be addressed in this sensor-enabled revolution, including: data security, integration, response management, and privacy. This panel includes leading experts who will discuss the technical, practical and business aspects of this technology.

HVAC – Edge Devices, Machine Learning and Connected Systems
Date: 6/7/2018 Time: 1:30 pm - 2:00 pm Location: Nolita 2
Occupants need comfortable buildings, and HVAC is the foundational system for providing environmental comfort. For many years, these large and complex systems remained siloed and independent. Data from system components was difficult to access; integration with other building systems was a challenge, as the ability to integrate was often limited by the manufacturer. With the advent of the ‘open, integrated, interoperable, IP-centric’ movement, HVAC manufacturers are now addressing the growing needs of the industry. With the increased interest in the cloud, edge devices and machine learning, the last 12-18 months have seen significant advancements toward ‘open and IP- centric’. This instructive session will preview the latest HVAC technologies and then lead a conversation on the role of HVAC in the next generation of smart buildings.

Voice Activated VIRTUAL ASSISTANTS – Integration, AI, Voice, Experience, Privacy and More
Date: 6/7/2018 Time: 2:05 pm - 2:35 pm Location: Nolita 2
Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Microsoft Cortana, Apple Siri...it seems everyone is getting into the voice activated, virtual assistant business. In the home, these devices have gone beyond providing weather reports or playing songs and quickly morphed into intelligent home controllers for lights, audio, and TV, acting as intelligent assistants. They're now making their way into commercial buildings. Owners, operators, manufacturers, integrators and others are excited about bringing this functionality to the commercial world of offices, malls, schools, airports and more. These devices are now serving as voice actuated input devices for managing business processes. "Alexa, run me a report on last month's widget sales." The environments where we apply these virtual assistants are becoming more complex, as are the potential benefits and challenges. This invaluable session will examine the topic and explore the many opportunities for business.
