PANDUIT Showcases Unified Physical Infrastructure^SM

Connected Building Solutions at Realcomm 2009

PANDUIT UPI-Based Connected Building Solutions provide higher asset utilization, an improved cost structure, and technology strategies that enable long-term flexibility to achieve occupant satisfaction and maintain building value over time.

June 19, 2009 Tinley Park, IL – PANDUIT Corp., a global leader in Unified Physical Infrastructure^SM (UPI), announces its participation as Global Leadership Partner of the Realcomm 2009 Events Series, which showcase the real estate industry’s latest technology innovations.

PANDUIT UPI solutions leverage an integrated physical infrastructure as the foundation to enable convergence across communication, computing, control, power, and security systems. These end-to-end solutions drive operational and financial advantages across the enterprise, allowing businesses to minimize risk, heighten agility, and reduce costs.

PANDUIT Connected Building Solutions achieve the next level of enterprise effectiveness by applying UPI principles to drive system interoperability and convergence onto a single infrastructure platform, which provides sustainability, operational efficiency, and security to building owners. Realcomm 2009 is the ideal venue by which these solutions are being communicated to a targeted industry audience.

PANDUIT is participating in Realcomm events across three continents, including the Realcomm Europe Tech Summit in London, RealComm 2009 Chicago, RealTech Middle East in Dubai, and a series of CIO Lunch Forums and Green Technology Seminars to be held across the United States.

“Our participation in the Realcomm 2009 Events Series is another milestone in the ongoing dialogue on how UPI-based infrastructure solutions intelligently converge physical and logical building systems,” says Vineeth Ram, VP of Global Marketing, PANDUIT. “A Connected Building strategy is an innovative approach that leverages an intelligent, open-systems infrastructure to fulfill the requirements of current day building systems while providing a flexible migration path for adopting future technologies.”

At Realcomm Chicago (June 23-24, 2009) PANDUIT will launch its latest white paper, “Achieving Financial and Functional Advantages in Connected Building Solutions with the Unified Physical Infrastructure^SM (UPI),” which describes how a UPI-based strategy for connected building design enables higher asset utilization within an improved cost structure while simplifying building operations and management and supporting sustainability goals.

The latest validation of PANDUIT’s Connected Building Solution is its new World Headquarters Building, providing state-of-the-art visibility and control of all critical building systems, integrated and aligned under a unified intelligent infrastructure. Additionally, this world-class facility will also serve as a testimonial to the importance of aligning strong partner relationships to achieve long-term sustainability goals.

“When planning its World Headquarters Building, PANDUIT project leaders invested in a UPI-based Connected Building Solution to enable convergence of facility systems onto a single network for improved control, communication, and management,” says Jeff Paliga, PANDUIT Director of Global Solutions. “By achieving Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification, this unified approach to infrastructure architecture will provide a healthy workplace and minimize our ecological footprint reinforcing our commitment to the environment and delivering significant energy savings.”
