Gen2 Networks – Islands of Connectivity

Since the 1970s industry has been building a chain of
independent islands that provide point solutions for a
range of communication needs. During this period,
technologists evolved to building shared bandwidth
and then switched networks in support of client/server
Building Network systems while other services were implemented
GEN 2
using various types of cables and systems hardware.
Switched networks improved workforce capability as
applications expanded beyond the data-center and
ran on local and remote terminals such as
the VT100 which was released in 1978 –
as shown here;

As data and Local Networks began to improve business capabilities, the phone companies were
making changes to the voice systems which began to operate in the US in the late 1800’s. In fact, the
rotary dial phone was patented in 1891 and was the technology of choice until it was
replaced by the push button phone. Push button phones found their way into
government, business, and consumer hands in the 70’s with full adoption in the
90s. Today, rotary dial phones do not operate on some telephone switches and in most cases are
considered a novelty.

In 1980, the Ethernet standard (IEEE 802.3) gained commercial introduction and switched networking
began to evolve. Systems that communicate over Ethernet divide streams of data into frames which
can then be shipped over the wire to another destination. I have always likened this to a train in which
each boxcar has content that is unpackaged at it’s destination. Ethernet frames incorporate other
protocols such as Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), and Internet Protocol (IP) or TCP/IP. These
protocols are the important protocols that led to the launch of the World Wide Web in the early 1990s.

In 2004, the Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP) standard was introduced commercially. Networks,
once the domain for data transmission began to carry voice. During this time the video industry began
to work with video codecs which allowed for transmission of video or streaming over IP networks. This
introduced additional packet traffic to what has become a very crowded highway. Today, CAT5,6,and 7
structured cabling networks provide data, voice, and IP Video for wired and wireless devices which are
demanding more and more bandwidth.


Islands of Connectivity – A Deeper Dive

Demand for Ethernet network services is causing cable and switch upgrade lifecycles to shorten while
demands for your budget soar. Demand translates technically to bandwidth needs which are served by
direct wire and wireless extensions. Demand translates financially to increased budgetary cost and loss
due to more frequent turnover of cable and switch hardware, more power consumed, more complexity,
high maintenance costs, and increasingly frequent cable and switch upgrades. There are four “classes”
of network connectivity through which wired and wireless Internet Protocol (IP) services are provided;

1. Fixed – Desktop and Workstation computers, Printers, Thin Terminals, VOIP
phones, RFID portals and sensors, fanless computers, shop floor equipment

2. Portable – Laptops and limited network tablet devices that connect to wired or
wireless services

3. Mobile – Smart phones, rugged handhelds / scanners that typically connect to
wireless in-building ,cellular, or satellite services

4. Vehicular – Public Safety, First Responders, Public Transportation, Local Service
Fleets such as Taxis and other in-motion vehicles.

Current Gen2 networks provide data to these “classes”, in some cases -VOIP, and in still others IP
Video. Analog, or 2-wire phone, security sensors, broadband video and other services are pushed off
to other forms of network connectivity. These “other” services require consulting and integration in order
to achieve interoperability which increases bandwidth demand. Since current structured cabling
networks do not have the capacity, distance, and capability to truly scale across multiple services as
bandwidth increases more monies must be spent for upgrades and replacements.

Video distribution uses a dedicated point to point “coax” copper cable plant because existing Local
Area Network (LAN) cabling plants do not have the capacity and the distance capability to carry
broadcast signals. Coax copper cables are extremely thick, single copper strands that use a lot of
shielding. Traditional copper based network cabling is thinner by comparison and made up of multiple
copper strands but are not nearly as thin and capable as f3Cs fiber.

“One strand of singlemode fiber which is about half the size of a human hair
can carry as much data as a copper cable that is four inches thick.”


Sometimes, customers choose to run video over existing LAN cabling. Existing LAN networks were not
designed for video so programmers resort to streaming and other “timing” tricks. Unfortunately, existing
LANs can slow down or stop completely when lots of streaming video, voice, and data traffic is traveling
through a building or campus network. This is called network congestion and lack of capacity, two
phrases that your cable and network salespeople love to hear. They will offer an upgrade every time.
Network congestion should be called antiquated architecture, inability to scale with services, or too little
copper in the core. LAN networks have a designed in capacity constraint and the fact that traditional
networks were not designed for video is why IT or the video / security services team will typically
recommend an overlapping and costly coax network. From a services perspective, there are three
areas in which additional and wasteful coax cabling can be found;

1. Cable TV – Distribution of live broadcast services

2. Security – Connectivity to cameras and other non-IP elements, Sensors and
Building Automation systems

3. Specialty – Video Conferencing, Signage, Medical Images, RFID

Analog telephone, alarm systems, and building automation and security systems rely upon twisted pair
cabling. Twisted pair cables carry low voltage DC for miles and are part of the origins of nationwide
communication networks. Linemen on horseback installed twisted pair cabling in the late 1800s for the
telegraph / Morse code and teletype systems. When the outside cable is brought into a building it is
connected to a “punch down” block and then connected to wall jacks. Todays’ LAN or structured cabling
networks evolved from these early communication systems and are installed using multiple twisted
pairs of copper cable.

Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) which are used to augment public safety and cellular repeater
networks are implemented using coax and in many cases, single mode fiber. These plants typically
utilize some type of core amplifier and connect via a dedicated cable plant to antennas that provide
send/receive services. They extend dedicated outdoor wireless functionality and coverage to indoor
environments but are separate and distinct from each other and from wi-fi in functionality.

The technology industry markets “a world without wires” when working to sell wireless delivery
capability and we are all too often having discussions with customers about capability versus capacity.
The simple fact is that wireless networks (Wi-Fi) will always suffer or excel as a direct result of the
capacity of the wired network that it connects to. Wi-Fi may be very capable technically, Wi-Fi may out-
perform any competitors but the simple fact remains that Wi-Fi relies upon some type of wire
MW 5400
somewhere. Shown to the right; the IP UtiliNET MW5400 wallplate edge access sensor.


All networks have the same characteristics – Core, Transport, and Edge. Telephone, Electricity, Water,
GAS, and Sewage serve specific services and are mature or at least we know what to expect when we
order that service. Each “utility” service is comprised of it’s core offering – Telephone, Voice / Electricity,
Electrons, Water, Molecules….etc. We cannot say that existing Gen2 data networks are mature. We
can make the comparison that the data network is designed for bits – simple 1’s and 0’s. Unlike these
other services data networks technologically are continuing to expand based on demand for various
types of services.

Existing copper based structured cabling LAN networks were designed for data. Voice due to its native
data format has been added although current networks do not always handle the Quality of Service
well. Broadband video, analog systems to include building automation, DAS, and cellular repeater
systems are typically relegated to specialty networks as a copper based core network is not capable of
servicing and scaling to meet the broad needs of todays wired and wireless systems.

Ultimately, the result of the demand for a variety of services has created toxicity and risk that is
unacceptable. Here are some facts to consider:

• An estimated 65 Billion feet of telecom and signal wire is installed in US buildings today, this exceeds
power wire.

• As much as 14.5 million miles of abandoned communication cable exists in buildings today. Much of
this cable is coated with harmful Teflon and other carcinogens as below.

• Cables that are abandoned and installed in ceilings, building risers, air handling systems, ventilation
systems, stairwells and more are a fuel source for fire, smoke, and lethal toxic fumes that can
incapacitate and kill. This is especially true in risers.

• Between 1998 and 2008, cable production and implementation grew at an annual average rate of
52%. Much of this cable was simply placed on top of existing cable, thereby adding additional fuel for
fire. The rate of cable expansion doubles every decade.

• Residents and Firefighters face a toxic stew of carcinogens that are released in daily in-building
circulated air and in fires. Hazardous toxins include Lead, PVCs, Halogens, Cadmium, Dioxin, Teflon,
Neoflon, FEP, and more.

If 60% of COST could be eliminated, what would happen to your budget?


What Gen2 Vendors Don’t Want You to Know
Current generation networks are outdated, costly, and needlessly complex

Structured cabling networks were never designed for broadband video and are not currently employed
and usable for much more than wired and wireless data, voice and IP video services. Other
communication type networks are being deployed at additional cost. This adds complexity, risk, and
cost to any institution.

It’s not just the complexity, it’s the increasing costs of added power consumption

Gen2 networks are point to edge distribution networks that consume an
increasing amount of power. The industry is talking about “edge routing” which
brings more intelligence to the typical IDF or telco closet and added local
switches. This intelligence adds more heat and in turn the industry has
adapted by providing Air Conditioners for this power hungry electronic gear. In
June of 2012 LEED is forcing property owners to account for telco closets as
24X7 operational office space. In some cases this move will cause LEED measurements to drop by
30%. Mobility is driving the need for increased wireless access and this drives additional needs for
wireless switch / controllers and power consumption.

Featured on the left is a picture of two wireless
controllers. The blue cables that run to the right
connect to port injectors which provide Power
over Ethernet to Wireless Access Points. On the
right is the shelf of port injectors each requiring
an AC cable and a wire from the controller.

Every technology has a usable service lifetime

Switched Networks have served their purpose and are reaching end of usable life. Networks were
designed for data and are implemented over copper cabling that gets thicker with each generation.
Copper cables are limited to 300 feet from a switch and switches are limited to 4 hops from a core
switch meaning that additional core switch ports are needed when servicing larger buildings. Voice and
IP Video have been added over the years. Voice, IP Video, and Data increase congestion and results in
network bottlenecks that drive the ever present need to upgrade. As laptops, tablets, smart phones and
other mobile devices proliferate along with users that demand more, faster, the rate of demand
becomes exponential. Current Gen2 networks require constant attention, constant upgrades, and more
and more budgetary consumption. This leaves precious fewer dollars for the services that users are
demanding.


What are the costs of your network related Present Mode of Operation?
Gen2 vendors have conditioned the market to solve capacity problems at the pace of switch and 300
foot radius copper cable connectivity. Demands for data, voice, and IP Video are increasing
exponentially as fixed, portable, mobile, and vehicular access demand faster information flow. These
factors are leading the industry toward more distribution switches and thicker copper cabling. In addition
to the growth in traditional networks are overlapping systems that add to cost. Vendors of these
systems are adding devices that operate using IP leading to additional need for switched networking
capacity. Your Vendors are not sitting down with you today and discussing your total cost of operations
to your institution as there is only more cable and more piles of switches in their future.

Beyond exponential service demands, how severely will Gen2 networks be affected by mobility?

Several factors are shaping the future of your current network and your ability to budget for the
bandwidth changes that are going to force you to consider upgrades even if you have just completed
one. IP Video, driven by the proliferation of portable and mobile devices will chew up bandwidth faster
than any data and voice service. The second is the emergence of 1 Gigabit Wi-Fi known as 802.11c
and 802.11ad. 802.11ad operates in the 60GHz range unlike existing a, b/g, n and emerging 802.11ac.
These factors will crush your current bandwidth in 2013. Your existing cable plant and budget will not
scale to meet these demands thus a migration to Gen3 must be considered.


Gen2 Networks – The Energy Effect
Demand for communications and electronic services are causing consumption to increase dramatically.
The industry is projecting an increase of 44 percent by 2035. To meet this reality, utilities are planning
to build new energy plants, new transmission lines, and adding “smart grid” technologies. These
companies simply pass cost increases to business and consumers. Rate increases are already being
requested and implemented.

Gen2 structured cabling LAN networks require lots of power and have followed the distribution of
applications from the datacenter to the Personal Computer. The first generation of data networks were
implemented for connectivity to “dumb” terminals and mainframe or “green screen” applications using
point to multipoint architecture. Current second generation LANs followed application expansion and
drove feature / functionality to the edge of the campus network. This point to point “switched” network
architecture resulted in lots of distribution switches, typically installed every 300 feet or so. Today, IT
professionals are busily consolidating and virtualizing servers in an effort to reduce the cost of
operations. Ultimately, this consolidation is leading to “cloud” based services or a return to centralized
datacenters. This migration of application services will be more effectively served by Gen3 Point to
Multi-Point f3Cs LANvisn™ Cloud technology. Demands for network services are continuing to
increase while you are being forced to continually reduce your budget.

How much energy is consumed by distribution switches in your current data network?


Gen2 Networks – The Switch Effect
The networking industry sells ROI, Performance, and Functional data that is designed to encourage you
to consume hardware incrementally. Demand for network services is increasing exponentially which is
driving increasingly shorter upgrade, replacement, and augmentation lifecycles. While this may be great
for companies that are in the business of providing distribution switches, cables, cooling systems, and
energy, it is highly disruptive to your budget, your staff, and it is detrimental to your profitability. In 2008,
Cisco published a public information paper entitled; “Ethernet Power Study of Cisco and Competitive
Products”. We extracted the HP and Cisco comparative data and added a current Gen3 LANvisn™
column:

Gen2 LAN gear - SUNSETTING

Cost per year $ 755.98 $ 510.36 COST ELIMINATION

Is it better to save $245.62 incrementally (diff. in cost per year) or will your board vote to eliminate cost
altogether? Is a decrease in power consumption better or is net elimination preferred? Is it better to
decrease the carbon emission by close to a ton as in the example above – or is it better and more
sustainable to eliminate the cooling needs completely? Current generation networks provide significant
cost elimination as described herein are simply more sustainable.

The highest return on investment comes from the elimination of consumption.


Gen2 Networks – The Business Effect

“The board and the customers are expecting me to do all with less people, less time,
and less money, and they are refusing to fund additional budget”

Throwing people, hardware, and money at any system that is outdated is needless and wasteful. It
increases cost, risk, and complexity. Your existing second generation Local Area Network (LAN)
undergoes cable and/or switch migration every 2-4 years. Emerging third
generation (GEN 3) LAN technology eliminates the need for these lifecycle
upgrades through the elimination of the expensive network distribution
switches and the copper cable that connects them.

For 25 or more years, second generation networks have required telco
closets. Recently, these closets have become mini datacenters, complete
with power hungry air conditioners that help to cool an increasing number of
“intelligent” network distribution switches. This is consuming more of your
budget in terms of short lifecycle; acquisition, operation, maintenance, and staff.

Gen 3 LAN technology eliminates the need for all, not some of these costs.

Second generation networks are based on a can and string model with copper cable and network
switches every 300 feet or so. Today, you are paying for
“upgrades” and expansions of cable plants and network
switches with increasing frequency. These networks were
designed for data and through innovation have added voice
and wireless extensions. Current LAN networks were never
designed for broadband video.

The third generation of all property multi-service networks
allows complete elimination of those expensive network switches and all of the copper cabling in the
distribution architecture. These third generation networks were designed first for video and easily
support voice, data, and sensor/security requirements at significantly lower cost.

You can’t fix an inefficient system by throwing hardware, people, and money at it.


Gen2 Networks – Access Anywhere 2012

Users are demanding
access to data, voice, and
video content in all fixed,
mobile, portable, and
vehicular environments. This
is driving applications into
locally virtualized private and
remotely hosted private and
public clouds. Gen2
switched networks were
designed for data. Voice
over IP increased network
traffic via fixed phones on desks first. VOIP has spread to portable via the Skype protocol and mobile
via applications and micro-cell systems that complement cellular tower usage. All of these
environments require monitoring and management in support of end users who want access to
everything on demand.

According to the YouTube Blog, in mid-2007, 6 hours
of video were uploaded to YouTube every minute
and in January ’09 it grew to 15 hours per minute. In
2012, 20 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube
every minute and we’ll see 24 hours – a day’s worth
of video uploaded to YouTube, every minute, very
soon. This is just one of the many video intensive
social media websites. Many of the social media
sites, Facebook, Hulu, Netflix, Twitter and others
simply did not exist prior to 2004 and all of them can
be watched from just about anywhere, anytime.

Gen2 structured cabling networks are at their physical, financial, and functional limit. The total impact of
mobility, modality, and centralization of content is driving the need to reconsider the network
architecture as a whole. Data, Voice and a literal explosion of video content, driven by social media is
driving the need to provide non-fragmented all property network services.

Summary

In creating this paper, we wanted to clarify some of the decision points regarding current LAN migration
decisions while introducing next generation LANvisn™ Clouds. This is especially important for the
customer who is considering a cable or switch upgrade. If you find yourself in this position today, we
expect that this paper has equipped you with enough information to act, at least before your competition
does.

Our journey began in 2007 with a frustrated CTO of a large multi-site
campus who told us; “I spend 60% of my time evaluating line of Georgia based CIO,

revenue, and consequently on profitability. It does not match the “do all

unhappy leadership, and all too often personnel transition.

It is not the fault of the people. Our root cause analysis always points to an inefficient, outdated, and
multi-layered second generation Local Area Network (LAN) infrastructure. As a budgetary or technical
leader, you have the incumbent responsibility to choose the most effective path forward. The most cost
effective choice is LANvisn™ Clouds. The best way to complement the migration to public and private
clouds, improve security, reduce cost, and eliminate the waste of today’s switch and cable networks is

Don’t let waste and inefficiency account for 60% of your network budget.


How to Move Forward

LANvisn™ Clouds are the less costly investment for your local area and campus network because of
the nearly limitless bandwidth capacity and ease of upgrade. LANvisn™ Optical LAN technology is the
next generation of network technology. It delivers significant cost reduction, energy reduction, and
environmental benefit to customers choosing to move forward. For many, we are helping to address the
question of how to move forward, while our customers make decisions on
