Building Backbone

At Connect-D, the term "Building Backbone" refers to the central digital infrastructure that forms the foundation for all systems and technologies within the building. A strong backbone ensures that communication, energy, and data are transferred smoothly and reliably between various systems, such as lighting, climate control, access management, and security.

Connect-D provides advanced solutions for this purpose, utilizing Power over Ethernet (PoE), a technology that enables the transfer of both power and data through a single network cable.

Building Backbone with Connect-D and Cisco

1.Power over Ethernet (PoE)

Thanks to PoE technology, devices such as smart lighting, sensors, access control systems, and cameras areeasily connected to the network without requiring separate power supplies. Connect-D utilizes PoE solutions tomake the installation and management of Smart Building technologies more efficient and cost-effective.

 2. Cisco Network Infrastructure

The backbone implemented by Connect-D is based on equipment from Cisco, a global leader in networksolutions. Cisco switches and routers guarantee high performance, scalability, and reliability, which are essentialfor supporting PoE devices and handling large amounts of data within the building.

 3.Central Connectivity

All smart systems in the building, such as lighting, climate control, security cameras, and IoT sensors, areconnected via the Connect-D Building Backbone. This ensures seamless data exchange and real-timecommunication between systems, enabling the building to function more efficiently and intelligently.

 4.Easy Installation and Maintenance

By utilizing a single integrated network for both data and power, Connect-D simplifies the installation andmaintenance of systems within the building. This results in reduced cabling, lower costs, and a faster rollout ofnew technologies.

 5.Reliability and Scalability

With Cisco network infrastructure, Connect-D provides a future-proof backbone that can be easily expanded asthe building's needs grow. This makes it possible to add new systems and technologies without compromising thenetwork's performance.

 6.Energy Efficiency

By using PoE, Connect-D optimizes energy consumption. Devices are powered only when necessary, and energyusage can be centrally monitored and managed.

Practical Applications of the Building Backbone

Smart Lighting:PoE ensures that fixtures are not only powered but can also communicate with sensors and building management systems.

Access Control and Security:Equipment such as card readers and cameras is centrally powered and managed via the Cisco network implemented by Connect-D.

Climate Control:IoT sensors that monitor temperature, air quality, and occupancy are directly connected to the backbone and send data to the building management system.

Monitoring and Analysis:Real-time data from all systems is collected and analyzed via the backbone, enabling better decision-making and building optimization.

Benefits of the Building Backbone

Efficiency:A single integrated network for data and power reduces installation costs and simplifies maintenance.

Reliability:Cisco equipment used by Connect-D guarantees a stable and secure infrastructure.

Energy Efficiency:PoE ensures optimal energy management by centrally controlling where and when power is needed.

Scalability:The backbone can be easily expanded to meet future technological needs.

Real-Time Insights:By integrating systems and analyzing data, Connect-D provides real-time insights into the building's performance.

With a Building Backbone based on PoE and the reliable technology of Cisco, Connect-D creates a solid and future-proof foundation for Smart Buildings. This backbone enables seamless integration of smart systems, optimizes energy consumption, and ensures an efficient, sustainable, and intelligent building environment.
