Key Points
• Future bandwidth and power requirements will
exceed current systems by orders of magnitude
through AI processing and edge computing
applications that demand exponential rather
than linear scaling
• Edge computing and distributed intelligence
require high-bandwidth, low-latency
connections that current building infrastructure
cannot support without fundamental
architectural changes
• Early adoption of emerging standards like SPE
and TSN provides competitive advantages
through infrastructure capabilities that
enable future technologies as they become
economically viable
• Comprehensive connectivity solutions spanning
Industrial Automation, Advanced Sensors, and
Communications Solutions prevent integration
challenges while providing upgrade paths that
protect long-term infrastructure investments
