Communication Protocols

• BAC-NET (Building Automation and Control
  Networks)
• LON (Local Operating Network)
• LAN (Local Area Network, contains link and
  physical layer, IEEE 802)
• EIB (European Installation Bus, for home
  automation)
• TCP-IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
  Protocol, contains both application oriented
  and network)

Transmission media (1)
Media Distance m Capacity Application Remark
Two-wire open lines 50 19.2 kbps Modem Sensitive to electromagnetic radiation
Twisted pair lines 100 gt100 1 Mbps lt1 Mbps Computers networks Less sensitive to electromagnetic radiation
Coaxial cable gtgt100 gt10 Mbps Television/ Internet Capacity depends on type of signal
Optical fiber - gt100 Mbps High data rates No resistance/ Insensitive to radiation

European Label for High Quality Telecom Services
(ICT keurmerk) according ETSA

• The company has the competence for planning,
  installation, service and maintenance of complex
  telecom infrastructures, including
• necessary cabling or alternative access
  technologies
• all plug and play network components
• components for data and voice communication as
  well as the entire communication networks
• The company has the competence for professional
  consulting and engineering services in the field
  of telecommunication

18
European Label for High Quality Telecom Services
(ICT keurmerk) according to ETSA

• Criteria
• Sufficiently qualified employees who are
  systematically trained in relation to new
  technical requirements
• Offered services and products are in accordance
  with the actual state of the art of technology
  and particularly with the corresponding technical
  standards

Problem caused by the infrastructure in red (1)

• Not properly working applications
• User cant use the applications
• Applications arent desired by the user
• User is not familiar with the opportunities
• Lack of information
• Not installed for financial reasons
• Accidental alarm setting offs
• Undesired switching of lights

Lessons to be learned

• ICT-proof for future use
• Positioning of sockets
• ICT Architecture

29
V Future view on infrastructures

• To be based on Ambient Intelligence Paradigm
  ICT structures that are
• almost invisible, intelligent, interactive
  system, and self-learning
• Suitable for Plug-and-Play applications
