A
utomated infrastructure management (AIM)
solutions are hardware/software systems that
monitor, map and document connectivity
across an entire network, even a diverse and complex
network as found in an intelligent building. As more
applications and services come to market – each
offering time, money or efficiency advantages – it
soon becomes impractical to monitor and manage
the network manually. Thanks to published TIA-606,
ISO/IEC 14763-2 and ISO/IEC 18598 standards, the
role and potential of AIM solutions in the modern
connected and efficient building are now established,
unlocking a world of potential for enterprises.
Connectivity, efficiency and AIM
As the intelligent building evolves, its scope,
capabilities and even its definition continue to

change as well. What truly is an ‘intelligent’ or
‘smart’ building today? While the specifics will
vary widely from place to place, they will all have
two characteristics in common: connectivity and
efficiency. In connected and efficient buildings, the
focus is on leveraging emerging technologies to
connect people, information and devices in order
to drive greater productivity and efficiency. The
newest infrastructure found in today’s connected
and efficient buildings supports audio/visual
systems, sensors, lighting, IT, security and building
management applications. This is all in addition
to the building’s wired and wireless technologies,
sharing space, in many instances, with the
broader Internet of Things (IoT). Still, this diverse
ecosystem all boils down to enabling person-to-
person, person-to-machine and machine-to-
machine communications. n
