Intelligent building demands future-proof architectures
By Max BurkhalterFebruary 4, 2013
Considering media conversion
Media converters play a vital role in enabling future-proof architectures in buildings because they provide interoperability between diverse infrastructure. For example, fiber to Ethernet systems are ideal for allowing copper backbones in facilities to connect to fiber-based telecom networks. This type of functionality is integral to supporting cost-effective smart building systems over an extended period of time.
