Activate Smart Cities with Digital Signage
The term “smart cities” is thrown around to describe almost any technology project in a city — a Google search for the term yields upward of 18 million results. But what does the term really mean? Many current smart cities projects rely on new data flowing from the Internet of Things, in which small computers […]
Two Examples of How Cisco is Bringing IoT Connectivity to Buildings
The AV/IT convergence is no more apparent than in a smart building. Internet of Things (IoT) promises to bring together the physical world of AV technology and the digital world of IT services like never before. Systems will be so intertwined that the one will not be able to exist without the other. Users will […]
The Key to Smart Cities is Smart Buildings
The way we travel, communicate, learn, relax—even how we wake up in the morning—has all been transformed by technological advancements. The buildings we work and play in are no different.

Cyber criminals are coming up with new exploits as quickly as companies are able to patch them up. Cyber security is a constant battle between the “good guys” and the “bad guys.” In this case, […]
Are You Using Uninterruptible Power Supply Properly?
An uninterruptible power supply, the UPS that’s not brown trucks but prevents brownouts and blackouts, is part of every data center and server closet. Units are large and heavy because they rely on proven (meaning older and heavier) lead-acid battery technology. Even the smaller units often found under desks are twice as heavy as they […]
Universities Can Play a Key Role in Creating Smart Cities
Imagine a city in which buildings alert you when they need repair, there is Wi-Fi on every street corner, sensors tell the garbage trucks where, when and how often to collect, and where data is analyzed in a way that tells us which streets are more likely to be crime hotspots based upon traffic and […]
Driving IoT Transformation with Smart Network Considerations
The hype surrounding the potential of IoT shows no sign of subsiding, and now IoT is morphing from a smart concept to reality – investment bank Goldman Sachs cites IoT as a $7tn opportunity by 2020, with IoT set to have an impact at every stage in the production and distribution of products. The ‘smarts’ […]
