We are pleased to report that our new NEC seminar series has been
well received! Based on evaluation forms from the DC and
Atlanta seminars held in February, attendees found the
presentation
very informative and helpful in addressing their building cabling
concerns. We are encouraging owners and managers to view
this as a fire and life safety issue -- not just a code
requirement. If you would like to host a seminar in your
city, please contact us for more information.
Wireless continues to make the headlines, with indoor coverage
among the most important issues for 2004. This newsletter
addresses how to cost-effectively achieve wireless coverage in
your property.

Wireless-Ready
Buildings:
Satisfying Wireless Addiction Cost-Effectively
contributed by Kaval
Wireless
Addicted to Wireless.
You don’t have to look far to find proof that wireless communication
is an integral part of people’s lives. Articles and reports in trade
publications and the general media cite examples almost daily, but
you can see
wireless communication everywhere. The proliferation of
wireless devices and an increasing reliance on wireless technologies
to conduct business and provide critical services has created an
expectation for “anywhere” wireless connectivity.
Escalating Expectations.
The rapid, global adoption of wireless technology has demonstrated
that wireless is not just a fad. According to the latest
edition of Baskerville's Global Mobile Forecasts to 2010 Report by
Informa Telecoms and Media Group, the global mobile market is set to
expand by over 800 million customers by 2010, reaching the 2 billion
mark in 2008. A January 2003 study from International Data
Corporation found that
indoor coverage
ranks as one of the ten most important service issues for 2004.
Based on available data and projections, the expectation for
“anywhere” wireless communication to facilitate business and ensure
the success of public safety operations is going to continue to
escalate.
Creating a Cost-Effective Wireless Building.
Finding a cost-effective way to create a “wireless-ready” building
is a major challenge that property owners face. Generally speaking,
installing a complete, in-building technology infrastructure to make
wireless communications, such as cellular phones and two-way pagers,
seamlessly available throughout a building is a considerable
investment. Determining how to fund an in-building system can be
daunting. This primer outlines a cost-effective approach on how
building owners can satisfy the need for in-building coverage for
wireless customers while creating long-term benefits from a
wireless-ready building. (Link to

CRE Partners Launches NEC Educational Seminars
|
CRE
Partners has teamed with legal and industry experts to offer an
educational series on the 2002 NEC requirements regarding
existing and abandoned cabling in commercial office buildings.
This seminar provides a comprehensive review of the 2002 NEC and
its impact on building owners, including code requirements,
cable audits and abatement, case studies, estimated costs,
interviews with local electrical inspectors, recommended lease
and license language, liability and insurance risks, and more.
Here's what BOMA-Atlanta had to say:
"CRE Partners did an outstanding job of coordinating the full
seminar, from lining up balanced, qualified speakers who were
topic experts, to creating a logical sequence for a thorough
presentation of the NEC information. Everyone, whether a
property/facility manager, engineer, or leasing specialist, or
even someone having no prior knowledge of the implications, left
understanding the issues and equipped with the knowledge to take
appropriate action. Darlene was a great 'one-stop-shop'
for the entire program."
Pat Freeman
Vice President, Trammell Crow Co.
Our
standard seminar is a three-hour course, which may qualify for
real estate continuing education credits (depending on the
requirements for each state).
If you are interested in hosting or sponsoring one of these
seminars in your city, please contact CRE
Partners, 703-444-5720. See tentative schedule, below.
