onShore smartRiser, the complete riser management solution.

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
