1 Smart Building Infrastructure: Strategic Steps for Building Critical Broadband Infrastructure Wednesday, September 12, :30 am - 12:00 pm (EDT) Presented by Greg Dunn and Lindsay Miller Ice Miller LLP 250 West Street Columbus, Ohio Icemiller.com Broadband Infrastructure for Commercial Buildings: Technology Options Fiber Optics Cellular (5G) Wireless (microwave, Wi-Fi) 1

2 Internet of Things (IoT) Will change both public and private sector functions Widespread deployment of advanced telecommunications capabilities Future-Proof Fiber Optics Bandwidth can be increased without having to change infrastructure unlike digital subscriber line (DSL) Fiber-optic reaching capabilities Single employer Major development Fiber ring that circles an entire city Bandwidth to carry enormous amounts of data 2

3 Network Ownership Models Locally owned, municipal network Private telecommunications provider network Public-private partnership ("P3") approach Cellular (5G) Mobile Connectivity High-band spectrum for Fifth Generation (5G) expansion Will require small and numerous towers and antennas Small cells 5G to become the societal standard Provide large amounts of bandwidth Various connection capabilities Wired or wireless connections 5G 3

4 Microwave and Wi-Fi Connectivity Microwave Connectivity Point-to-point connection Between a tower and roof mount on building Cost-effective Wi-Fi Connectivity Fiber optics wireless internet connectivity In-building infrastructure connected to high bandwidth connection, such as fiber optics Infrastructure Assets Tall Sites - Lattice Towers, Monopoles, Roof Mounts, Steeples, Bell Towers, and Water Towers 4

5 Infrastructure Assets Medium Sites - Monopoles, Roof Mounts, Stadium Lighting, Flag Poles, and other types of Infill Sites Infrastructure Assets Small Sites Street Light Poles, Building Mounts, Utility Poles, Mast Antennas, Roof Mounts, Flag Poles, and other Unique Sites (Micro Cells, Nano Cells, Distributed Antenna Systems, Microcell Networks, etc.) 5

6 Small Sites (cont.) Commercial Property: Potential Tenant Telecommunications Needs What types of tenants occupy the space? How much do tenants spend on telecommunications? What are tenants current broadband needs? What are tenants anticipated broadband needs? 6

7 Challenges and Solutions Facing Commercial Property Owners Challenges Some existing technologies are inadequate, too expensive, or becoming obsolete Possible Solutions City Officials Knowledge sharing Service through a fiber optic network that the municipality already owns Building entrances Lateral connections Vertical assets Roof Flag Pole Risers Commercial Property Valuable Communications Assets Meet me room 7

8 Building Entrances Multiple access points Redundant services have two routes available Provides back-up that provided redundancy Tenant will not lose service Building will need two lines (laterals) Backbone line Located in the street right-of-way or easement in the back of building Rooftops Rent/ lease space to cellular and microwave companies Installation of risers Vertical Assets Used by multiple telecommunications companies Used to connect to multiple building entrances Connected to multiple laterals Meet-me-room or telecommunications closet Location where companies interface with building tenants 8

9 DubLink Fiber Route Example Inside Dublin Route 9

10 Metro Center Route Dublin 100GB Transport Dublin owns fiber system and allows Data Center to use it. Dublin buys edge routers and places them in buildings in the meet me room. Dublin places 100GB juniper router in Data Center Data center connects to 100GB fiber Data center connects customers to internet service provider of choice Subsequent 100GB connections are done at Data Centers expense 10

11 Customer gets: Free transport Choice of ISP Access to extreme high speed bandwidth Conclusion What creates value for commercial tenants? High-speed, low-cost internet connectivity Various forms of delivery Offer choice and competition 11
