Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of upgrading IT infrastructure?
Upgrading your IT infrastructure means greater security and greater connectivity. Outdated systems may fail to prevent malicious actors from accessing your company data and may not fully integrate with your newer building management systems, either. By staying up to date with your IT infrastructure, you’re maintaining safety, security, and functionality.
What is a smart building?
A smart building contains a whole network of sensors and connected devices that provide information and occupancy data to the building’s operators. This data helps building owners and businesses optimize their lighting, heating, and even security needs through automated systems such as HVAC controls, cameras, and more. The smart building professionals at NPI Connect can help you reduce costs and increase occupant comfort.
What technologies are used in intelligent buildings?
Smart buildings use a wide range of technologies to deliver, analyze, and act on collected data. There are several layers to this: light and air quality sensors can relay information to your building management system (BMS). With the growth of AI, automated building management systems (ABMS) can put machine-learning software in charge of environmental control and occupancy management. At NPI Connect, we can provide important insights across a range of smart building technologies, so you can get the most out of your updated infrastructure.
How long does a cabling upgrade project usually take?
NPI Connect has shipped over 99 million feet of cable for our clients, so we’re familiar with the cabling upgrades our clients may require. Some jobs can be done in as little as a few hours, while others, such as for major data centers, can take several days. If you’re operating an IT-heavy enterprise, it’s important to keep the extended window in mind.
What is the IoT?
The Internet of Things (IoT) has crept into a wide range of professional applications, but it all starts at the device level. Beyond phones and laptops, light sensors, cameras, and even refrigerators and HVAC units can be connected to the same network. This connectivity allows you to optimize your energy usage and make other adjustments to your building’s environment.
