Tomorrow’s Community • It’s unclear exactly what tomorrow’s community will be… • However, it will not be defined by a single technology or service • Instead, a collection of services and technologies will redefine what a community is and how it operates
Edge Devices • Devices connected to and enabled by Internet • Vast majority of these devices will be extremely simple with little more intelligence than contemporary models • Simple purpose specific devices that perform basic tasks with minimal communications • E.g.: thermostat, motion detector, access control door • Other high bandwidth, flexible “portal” devices with far less processing power and memory than today’s counterparts • E.g.: televisions, tablets, phones
Internet Access • Multiple networks providing connections to the Internet • E.g.: Zigbee, Z-wave, 802.11n, 4G, xDSL, DOCSIS, FTTP • Unified secured communications balancing • Purpose specific devices: Telemetry and control • Portals: High-bandwidth entertainment and communications
Cloud Computing • Software as a Service (SaaS) • Software, computing, diagnostics and data storage are all provided by the cloud • The cloud powers the purpose specific and portal edge devices
Tomorrow’s Community • Communications • Modern technology has complicated, not simplified, communications between management and residents • Where we once had one phone number, we now have multiple numbers, email addresses, Facebook, text, web portals, etc. • Hopefully, this will soon be simplified with unified communications that streamline “basic” communications • The cloud “knows” user’s location and available devices and verifies delivery
Tomorrow’s Community • Control • Simplify complexity and instrumentality of control • If a device is connected to the Internet and controlled by the cloud, do you even need instrumentality? • Resident watches movie in amenity area media room • Residents own portal device • Request = reservation = acknowledgement = access control= media = audio-video = lights • Apartment air-conditioner is low on coolant • Measurement = maintenance request = order = schedule = appointment = acknowledgment
Tomorrow’s Community • We have all been told how services and technology will simply our lives. We hope that edge devices, internet access and cloud computing can finally realize this promise.
Galen Updike President RTC & Telecommunications Development Manager GITA – State of Arizona An Approach for Planning Broadband in Rural America A conversation about challenges, goals, and plans April 12, 2011
Arizona TELCO Middle Mile Arizona’s ILEC owned Middle Mile Note: Stranded runs Lack of loops. Lack of redundant paths Minimal Fiber Interconnection between ILEC areas Law of Supply and Demand applies to End-user costs for Broadband Less Supply = Higher costs Urban - < $350 for T1 Rural - $700 - $1500
Policy Barriers to Broadband • - Thought Leadership – Till now, NO collective voice or plan – • Compared to other Critical Infrastructures, substantially fewer • thought leaders tasked (paid) to engage in the discussion, as • compared to other infrastructure categories. • - Broadband is not treated as Critical Infrastructure in • law, or policy. • ROW Policy needs to Change: • - With Broadband Citizens often pay for the same Right-of-Way • continuously (unlike other Critical Infrastructure) • Citizens should pay for Broadband ROW just ONCE. • - When constructing Roads – • We should “Build two Highways for the price of one” • - Often, Both Government Policy and Provider Marketing Strategies • favor separate networks for government & the private sector • (citizens), who then pay twice for needed infrastructure.
Other Barriers to Broadband • Providers’ rightful concern for ROI, including ROW costs, creates a dis- • incentive for rural Broadband deployment. • > Lack of Middle Mile (back haul) Infrastructure and lack of local • off-ramps in Rural areas are common (Deployment of off-ramp • infrastructure is not justified or cost effective per the low populations • or take rates.) • > Time- to - Market delays (permitting, environmental studies, etc.) are a major • barrier and create additional cost layers for providers in the deployment • of broadband infrastructure. • - No mechanism or policy is yet in play in most States for substantial • Urban subsidy of Rural Broadband infrastructure. Such policy is • acceptable for other critical infrastructures, but is not yet available • for Broadband (robust State based USF’s for Broadband will likely • follow the designation of Broadband as Critical Infrastructure).
Some Advice from a “Voice of Experience” www.bbpmag.com/2010mags/nov.../BBP_NovDec10_BoostBroadband.pdf
Integration of Broadband into the Local Area Economic • Development discussions • Targeted Planning for Broadband at a Local Level • Leveraging of Grant Dollars for Planning into Grant Dollars • for Infrastructure build-out • Moving from Plans to Build-out to Economic Benefits of • Broadband Deployment in Rural areas of the State • Rural Regions of the State with a new paradigm for • economic growth, better quality of life, and increased • access to the Information Age Outcomes from Local planning
Outcomes of Capacity Building • More Broadband Availability, in deficit areas of the State • Policy Improvements with Broadband considered • as Critical Infrastructure in law. • - Creation and Maintenance of State Plan • Alignment with National Plan • Nexus for Discussion and level playing field for all • Stakeholders, including the interests of Providers, • Government, Consumers, Business
