The path to a Smart Building starts with a robust building network and a company to manage it. Intelligent Riser, a division of Montgomery Technologies, designs and installs enterprise-class, cybersecure networks dedicated to building systems - the critical first step required to successfully enable Smart Building technology. Intelligent Riser provides quantifiable capex and opex savings, and our Network Operations Center (NOC) monitors and manages the network 24x7x365, ensuring building systems remain cybersecure with 99.999% uptime. Intelligent Riser is installed in hundreds of office buildings nationwide and is the most installed building systems network in the world.
Intelligent Riser is a division of Montgomery Technologies, a leading professional services firm specializing in the integration of technology and commercial real estate. Increasing numbers of fiber runs and connection requests in the same building made us realize the need for a single, secure, asset-specific, cost-effective, managed network. While many clients developed best practices and security standards for their corporate networks, they were less familiar with building networks, a core strength of Montgomery Technologies.
Intelligent Riser was created in 2010 to serve the base building network needs of high-rise commercial office owners and managers. Driven by smart technologies, regulatory requirements and changing tenant expectations, they worked closely with long-time clients to develop the Intelligent Riser network. They have been responding to high demand ever since. Today, Intelligent Riser is the most secure, most installed base building systems network in the U.S.
Innovative solutions are emerging that promise to liberate building owners from these closed ecosystems. In particular, one buzzword is on everyone’s lips as a beacon of hope for “freedom from lock-in”: open source. But what does “open source” really mean in the context of building automation, and can it deliver on its promise of flexibility and owner control?
Today's tools have not been very user-centric for the people on the ground, so those people ignore them—and the hoped-for efficiency and data insights never materialize. Now that’s starting to change. Gamification, AI, and behavioral psychology principles influence users to return frequently, spend more time on the platform, and even enjoy doing so.
