INTELLIGENT BUILDINGS

Traditionally buildings have been constructed with multiple proprietary networks to operate everyday systems such as security & access, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), energy, lighting and fire & safety, as well as separate voice & data telecommunications networks. As a result these buildings are complex to manage, resulting in increased operating and maintenance costs and resource requirements, with limited automatic functionality. This, coupled with higher installation costs at the time of construction, has a significant financial impact for property developers, building owners and tenants.

Redstone's Intelligent Buildings proposition, OneNET™, based on the Cisco Connected Real Estate (CCRE) IP framework, solves this problem by creating an all encompassing secure IP network platform, which provides a single, future-proofed connection for all building and communications systems. The result is reduced capital costs and rapid deployment in the short term and most importantly, significantly lower running costs and increased efficiencies over the long term.

Ideally suited to greenfield developments and those buildings undergoing extensive refurbishment, OneNET™ is an ideal solution for deployment across a wide selection of vertical sectors including education, transport, hospitality, retail, leisure, office buildings and healthcare.

Conventional Approach – Standalone Systems

Costly, proprietary protocols, with disparate standalone networks not communicating.

Today’s Approach – Integrated Systems

Cost-effective, open protocols, with all systems communicating.

Intelligent Buildings can help your organisation to:

• Reduce building lifecycle costs - from build to operation
• Enhance workplace productivity, security and environment
• Generate additional revenue streams
• Improve customer experience and satisfaction

At Redstone, our focus is to design and deliver both the Information Transport System (cabling) and communications (voice & data hardware) elements of the IP network and to facilitate the connectivity of a range of third party IP systems, deliverable via our growing database of approved OneNET™ IP connectivity partners. These include specialist suppliers of security, building management systems (BMS), lighting, audio-visual, access control, CCTV and other vertically-based systems that install their infrastructure onto the OneNET™ platform to create a single, connected IP network which manages the building’s services.

With a proven track record in the design, installation and deployment of sophisticated Intelligent Buildings infrastructure, Redstone Converged Solutions understands the complexities of the construction process and the necessary contractual relationship with the Design Management Contractor. We also offer an innovative range of smart commissioning and smart staging tools during deployment to mitigate risk and ensure a successful implementation.

Alongside delivering full-time support on our OneNET™ platform, we also provide first line support on all third party IP connected systems, ensuring that the infrastructure owner has a single entity managing their investment at all times.
