IBWA's Role

 

Imagine a world where:

  • Tenants can maintain the use of their cell phones and mobile  applications from outdoor to indoor, and anywhere within the indoor environment ˆ office, conference  room, elevator, stairwell or garage ˆ to increase productivity and feel safer  
  • Building owners can intelligently and remotely control heating, cooling  and lighting systems to minimize wasteful energy, provide significantly improved tenant  security, and drive better and longer term contracts with their tenants via differentiating products  and service offerings
  • Public  safety officials can wirelessly retrieve building blueprints, plan rescue and  recovery strategies,  evaluate risks, and gather location information of victims while in transit to  the incident  scene
  • All  building stakeholders, including tenants, real estate owners, equipment  vendors, service providers,  and government agencies, agree on ways (business models) to share the benefits  and  costs of in-building wireless systems
  •  Issues as complex as in-building wireless are difficult to tackle single-handedly. Cost pressures, a limited bigger-picture perspective, and a lack of resources are the likely culprits in delaying technology-related improvements.

That's where the In-Building Wireless Alliance can help.

Founded by companies such as Akridge, ADC, Sprint Nextel, LGC Wireless, Motorola, and management consulting firm PRTM, the IBWA is leveraging its cross-industry strength to collectively:

  • Establish  the value proposition and ROI for in-building wireless across all building  stakeholders  
  • Propose costs- and benefits-sharing practices  
  • Establish  a forum for real estate and industry leaders to jointly develop standard yet  flexible solutions  or configurations
  • Collaborate with industry leaders and government  organizations to incorporate in-building wireless  concepts in public policies and legislation
  • Boost  public awareness of in-building wireless benefits and  initiatives

If you are a commercial property owner, infrastructure provider, wireless carrier, or public safety specialist, in-building wireless will impact your organization. Through the IBWA, you will have access to market thought leaders, influence in-building wireless trends, and shape the evolution of this leading-edge technology. Be part of the discussion. Play a bigger role in the Mobile Age.
