The intelligent building network is responsible for the data transmission tasks of various building automation systems, such as lighting, air conditioning, electrical, monitoring, computers, wireless devices, etc. In this blog, ETU-LINK will introduce the networking solution of intelligent building.

As the intelligent buildings are relatively dense and the business volume is relatively large, we can use the full gigabit switch as the network core, and then use the two-layer gigabit uplink stackable 100M switch as the access switch.

The data transmission of the full gigabit switch can use 1.25G dual fiber optical module with optical fiber patch cord . In the access layer of the switch, we can use the switch with twenty-four 10/100TX ports and two expansion slots, which is suitable for the application of intelligent office building. The expansion slot can be inserted into the 10/100/1000BaseT copper module, gigabit optical module and 100M optical module of ETU-LINK.

Wireless access is becoming more and more universal in buildings because of its convenience and mobility. WLAN provides a powerful solution for high-speed access network in places where people flow and are not easy to wire, such as conference rooms, restaurants, cafes and other leisure places. In this solution, we choose high-performance enterprise router as wireless bridge and wireless access network card to solve the wireless access problem of intelligent office building.

Large building networks and medium-sized buildings adopt the same network structure, but the core equipment is replaced by core switches with larger data throughput, richer types of interfaces and higher reliability.

At this time, we can choose the switch that supports 24 gigabit ports, and then access the gigabit optical module of ETU-LINK to realize the optical interconnection between the core layer and the access layer.

ETU-LINK has a wealth of optical communication products, fully understands the characteristics of network wiring in office buildings, and can provide corresponding optical module transmission solutions for buildings of different sizes.
