In a recent Corning whitepaper, The Connectivity Premium, it discusses how commercial real estate developers can profit from forward-looking strategies in network infrastructure and wireless connectivity.
Corning quotes ABI research that points out there are over 10,000,000,000 mobile devices already connected wirelessly, with that number expected to expand to 30,000,000,000 by 2020. With that type of growth, we need to expand the network infrastructure and upgrade its capacities across all commercial real estate because copper cannot handle the traffic that keeps growing geometrically. Traffic growth cannot be serviced by what is in the vast majority of commercial buildings today. Are your buildings technologically obsolete? You might be paying the price of not being in a building that can compete in today’s global markets.
