Here is an excerpt from the Executive Summary:
WIRELESS: LATEST SCS APPLICATION
Some industry pundits believe that wireless networks will eventually displace all physically structured cabling system networks. We believe that not only with this not happen, but that wireless will provide an incremental opportunity for structured cabling systems. Generally, there is no improved functional, performance or economic advantage that wireless networks provide over physically cabled networks.
Cubicles will always contain communications workstation physical connectivity, as part of the building’s infrastructure, just as the electrical infrastructure is provided. On an exception basis, in conditions such as overcrowded cabling ducts in large skyscrapers, new applications needing
access to the network may have to resort to a wireless network. In addition, wireless networks
could become commonplace in conference rooms or boardrooms, providing portable device access
to the network. Both of these are exceptions to the larger market of physical cabling to the fixed
workstation areas using structured cabling systems. Even in new office construction, it is expected
that physical cabling systems will be deployed for the majority of the network users.
As a result, wireless will typically be added to an existing network. This will still require physical
cabling from the wireless access points (WAPs) to the telecommunications closets. Cabling
standards for these wireless applications have recently been released by the TIA/EIA. We view
the addition of wireless applications for adding an IP subnet to the existing enterprise’s network
to be the same as VOIP or video over IP being added to the IP subnets to the enterprise’s networks.
In this study we examine and analyze this new structured cabling system opportunity. This includes
five-year forecasts for all of the cable and apparatus connectivity devices,
both UTP copper and fiber, needed for wireless applications.”Table of Contents - CHAPTER 1
