The Goal
First Avenue Properties, the building’s owner and MTM Luxury Lodging, the building operator, wanted a way of integrating the building’s functions to achieve the utmost in comfort and luxury for its tenants and guests. Their goal was to install, operate, and manage a single converged network in which all IP addressable devices reside on the same IP network. According to Donald Kenney, IT manager for the building, this converged network includes all building systems, thermostats, televisions, as well as VoIP telephony, and mini-bars that interface to numerous other technology partners. “This arrangement allows all these devices to talk to one another using the same language,” he said.
