The purpose, first and foremost, to create the Information Network is to create a collaborative, unified infrastructure aimed at cost recovery, reduced capital to build, greatly reduced operating expenses, and centralization of building management systems, resulting ultimately in lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). It happens to be a great benefit that the convergence and integration of all these building systems, including HVAC control, power metering, water monitoring, lighting control, access control, IP surveillance, digital signage networks (DSN), etc. has been facilitated by the emergence of open, standards-based Internet Protocol (IP) communication standards. This, in turn, allows the Information Network to realize the powerful potential to also provide tenant services, including Voice over IP (VoIP), high speed internet, Wi-Fi, physical security, and potential future IP Television services.
