The building communications riser as we know it is on its last legs. Convergence of voice, video, and data is here now and building owners can leverage it at a cost lower than a traditional riser, while generating revenue and increasing the value of the building.
Your next riser upgrade is onShore smartRiser, a single, common, multi-tenant data network (MDN) that spans your entire building, reaching beyond the physical riser closets and into every unit. This distributed digital framework, running on a highly secure multi-gigabit backplane, enables owners to collect usage fees by allowing multiple vendors to share the infrastructure, encouraging competition for both the procurement and delivery of IP-based services. It eliminates riser management, costs less than a traditional or modern riser and makes money.
Best of all, it increases the value of your property which generates demand for your building, reduces turnover, and maximizes rents at a time of record office vacancy.
The Good - smartRiser
- Profits - carriers save $3000 per pull so instead they can pay you to plug in
- Capital savings - half the cost of a modern communications riser
- Value - huge benefit to tenants increases your building class and value
- High-tech - single cat6 run to a tenant provides 100s of phone lines, 1Gb Internet
- Simple - multiple carriers plug into one central switch - no cable pulling
- Universal - everything goes over it, even security and environmental controls
- Efficient - a closet every 10-15 floors so half the riser space
- More value - rent basement space to carriers and tenants to house their servers
- Convenient - software controlled service activation is done remotely and in minutes
The Bad - modern riser
- Expensive, bloated, over-built - what the consulting companies tell you to implement.
- Tons of extra "dumb" capacity - only benefits carriers and at your expense
- Even higher riser management costs - double the cost of a smartRiser to install
- Still slow - service delivery
The Ugly - traditional riser
- Wastes rentable space - closets every few floors
- Administrative nightmares
- All copper - which never was enough
- Multiple carriers - pulling individual wires congest riser
- You pay - for riser management
- Slow - service delivery
