Passive Optical LAN Enables Hotel of the Future

The most modern, technologically sophisticated and elegant building in vibrant downtown Fort Worth, Texas is the circa 1930 art deco Sinclair Building and its new contemporary downtown hotel. When this metro hotel opens this year, it is going to feature the very latest Internet of Things (IoT) devices, seamlessly connected to serve the buildings voice, video, data, Wi-Fi, lighting, control and automation systems.

his same contemporary network design at the Sinclair Building will be replicated at the STS Tower and Hotel Texas Annex buildings – in fact, one fiber-based Passive Optical LAN (POL) will provide connectivity across all three buildings.

The vision of Sinclair Holdings LLC, which owns the buildings, is to first and foremost deliver to their tenants and guests the greatest customer experience possible. However, with hundreds and thousands of high-tech digital LED lighting, smart HVAC, wireless access points, automated drapes, building sensors, security access controls and even Bluetooth enabled LED bathroom mirrors that project phone, music and TV screen information, all these electronic end-points can overwhelm network IT staff and burden the building power consumption.

Sinclair Holdings’ strategy to tame the complexity of this IoT digital future is VT Group and Tellabs™ Optical LAN – both members of Association for Passive Optical LAN. VT Group was utilized as an emerging technology systems integrator that provided the expert design, installation and support of this solution. The Tellabs Optical LAN solution was chosen because it simplifies the underlying network connectivity and it is scalable for constant future IoT growth. The benefits of Optical LAN in a sophisticated smart building can be described in greater detail by discussing three key areas of innovations to efficiently support modern high-performance building’s voice, video, data, Wi-Fi, building lighting, control and automation connectivity:
Connectivity Innovations
Powering Innovations
Management Innovations
