The construction and real estate industries are transforming as technology permeates their operations. This evolution has not been immune to challenges like ‘networking’. Businesses within these industries acknowledge the importance of networking and are taking steps to address it, assisting in abolishing the patchwork of rudimentary, fragmented networks that have impeded progress in the past.

SecureMatrix Technologies is one such company that has taken the challenge of revolutionizing how building systems are connected and managed by effectively introducing converged networks for scalability, security, and redundancy.

The firm’s team consists of elite network engineers with a wealth of knowledge of converged networks and building systems. It provides design, implementation, and support for converged IT networks (IT and OT integration). SecureMatrix Technologies also guides businesses through networking complexities and empowers them to address the myriad of associated challenges.

“Our network engineers are highly qualified with the necessary certifications and experience to consult, design, implement, and support any complex network to run all the building systems, regardless of the project size,” says Nicholas Leong, director of business development at SecureMatrix Technologies.

With an impressive track record of designing and implementing converged network projects, its team has the knowledge and experience to successfully deliver an efficient OT and IT network project.

SecureMatrix Technologies’ converged networks integrate multiple networks into a single network infrastructure, improving overall building systems’ efficiency, productivity, and cost-effectiveness. Such streamlined networking allows building managers to use a single network management platform for monitoring the network of multiple services, including CCTV, BAS/BMS, VOIP phones, intercom, and fire alarms, resulting in improved custodianship.

Its engineers recognize that the networking requirements of corporate and commercial building systems differ significantly. Hence, they design converged networks that are tailored to the specific needs of each building system, effectively addressing operational bottlenecks. The engineers, with their decades of networking experience and certification, are well-versed in the technical intricacies of routing, switching, security, and wireless connectivity.

“With our years of experience collaborating with development managers, architects, electrical engineers, IT managers, etc., in new building constructions, we understand the roles each party plays and their responsibility to make a project successful,” adds Leong.

This longstanding relationship with each stakeholder is the impetus behind the company’s impressive track record of successful projects. However, it’s not only the networking expertise of SecureMatrix Technologies’ that places it on the cutting edge of innovation in converged networks.

Instead, it is the extensive knowledge of the intricate workings of the commercial real estate and construction sectors that truly sets it apart.

SecureMatrix Technologies understands the commercial real estate market and the new building construction industry. From the time the project is announced to the selection of the architectural firm, development permit application and approval, to tendering and construction, it is the clients’ only vendor in troubleshooting, maintaining and supporting the entire network backbone that runs all their systems in their building. As their single network provider, the company understands their network well and responds promptly for technical support. The company remains agile, promptly delivers technical assistance whenever required, and functions as the single point of contact for networking. To quickly diagnose issues, it deploys cloud network management solutions that collect data and provide real-time and remote monitoring functionalities. This allows building managers to stay informed about their establishment’s network stature. Unlike traditional network providers, SecureMatrix Technologies converged networks significantly improve the financial bottom lines of their users. For every building converged network design, the company only charges for implementations and equipment costs.

Using a customer-centric approach, SecureMatrix Technologies’ has provided its converged networking solutions to numerous building owners of high-rise office towers to run building systems in their entirety. It recently worked with a client to implement converged networks across its building, reduced the number of network switches and cabling required, and significantly reduced operational and management costs. Telus Sky, the 60-storey major office tower project in Calgary, is the head office of Telus Corporation in Calgary. With a streamlined network, the client could seamlessly manage and operate cloud-based networking solutions without additional fibre networks for new building systems. SecureMatrix ensured higher levels of security, remote management, configuration, and support. It also optimized port usage as per switches and laid the foundation for easier integration with smart building systems. On another occasion, the company helped a high-end building owner in Vancouver understand the value of onverged networks and helped them to design the network architecture for all building systems at no cost to them.

SecureMatrix, as part of its current endeavours, works on projects associated with agricultural manufacturing plants in the province of Alberta. These plants are attributed to complex network requirements for multiple systems, such as DMZ, business networks, field controllers, and sensors.

Although construction and real estate businesses are in the middle of a networking midwinter, SecureMatrix’s calming presence indicates a more optimistic industry status quo. As architects, engineers, and IT managers attempt to steer the complexities of converged networks, the company enables them to leverage this technology, raising benchmarks of innovation and demonstrating the difference an expert can make in the domain.
