The United States Federal Government is the largest single purchaser of IT in the world. In 2009 the Federal Government began evaluating GPON/PON for use in data networking applications. Since then, passive optical networks have started to gain acceptance across federal agencies and facilities as a viable option to traditional distributed Ethernet. The primary interest from both Department of Defense (DoD) and civilian agencies is driven by the need to reduce the CapEX and OpEx associated with new and existing network infrastructure. Federal CTOs and CIOs have also been attracted by PON’s (GPON) ability to merge separate voice, data, video, and building automation networks onto one network and one fiber. This allows for quicker installation, streamlined and less costly maintenance, and the elimination of intermediate network equipment with its associated power needs. By reducing energy requirements across the network, GPON/PON provides federal facilities a greener solution that reduces total cost of ownership (TCO) of the network. In 2012, GPON / PON was certified by the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) for use in operational DoD networks, and can thus be implemented in both classified and unclassified networks. This guidance was reinforced in the May 2012 memorandum issued by the Commanding General, NETCOM, stating: “NETCOM has identified a requirement for all new construction and all major renovations to utilize Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) technology. Any deviation from the requirement to utilize GPON for said projects will require a waiver from the CG, NETCOM prior to execution.” Since then, GPON / PON has steadily gained acceptance as an alternative or complement to distributive Ethernet. In 2010, the CIO, G-6 of the U.S. Army, citing the cost-effective deployment of PON solutions such as Gigabit PON (GPON), issued the Technical Guidance for Network Modernization, which stated: “All camps, posts and stations undergoing modernization shall aggressively adopt GPON and broadband wireless networking technologies by fiscal year (FY) 2013 in order to decrease operating costs and capital expenditures.“ In 2013, it will spend an estimated $79 billion US dollars on IT products and services, with the Army, Navy and Air Force accounting for $22.3 billion US dollars.   For Further GPON Information from CommScope, please visit: CommScope  Download: 3147-pon-federal-white-paper-wp-106869.pdf (commscope.com) PON Projects, one of Australia's top ICN installers, can help you discover how and why an ICN solution is essential for your project.

Go listen to Ron Read today discussing Smart Building.

Crown Castle (NYSE: CCI) has long touted the benefits of its diversified shared infrastructure strategy with fiber and small cells complementing its towers, all in the U.S. With the slowdown of 5G builds on towers, its MNO customers are increasingly focusing on 5G network densification with small cells and fiber to handle escalating mobile data traffic. CCI expects the total demand for its mixed asset portfolio to increase, saying it will boost small cell node deployments from 10,000 in 2023, to 14,000 in 2024. At the end of 3Q23, the company reported approximately 115,000 small cells, either on air or under contract, down from 120,000 at year-end 2022 due to 5,000 Sprint-related cancellations in mid-2023. Here’s the question: Is 115,000 the full extent of CCI’s small cell activity, or can it add to its order backlog? #smallcells #infrastructure #crowncastle #capex

(NYSE:VRT), raising its price target to $80 from $75 while maintaining an Outperform rating on the stock. The firm's analyst highlighted Vertiv's advantageous position in the market, poised to capitalize on the increasing demand for data center capacity. The analyst's perspective suggests that Vertiv has the potential to achieve earnings per share (EPS) of over $6.00 in the next three years, which could propel the stock toward a $150 value in an optimistic scenario. The analyst's commentary underscores Vertiv's strong positioning, noting, "Net/Net: We believe VRT is uniquely positioned to benefit from secular growth in data center capacity growth and VRT can get to $6.00 EPS power over next 3 years enabling the stock to work towards $150 in our upside scenario." This assessment reflects confidence in the company's ability to leverage industry trends for substantial growth. Vertiv's role in the technology and industrial sectors is also emphasized as a key factor in its attractiveness as an investment. The company's focus on data center infrastructure positions it well within these industries that are experiencing robust growth. The analyst believes this intersection offers reasonable downside protection for investors, further justifying the Outperform rating. The support from Evercore ISI for Vertiv comes at a time when data centers are increasingly critical to supporting the expanding digital economy. The need for robust and reliable data center infrastructure is expected to continue growing, and Vertiv's offerings are tailored to meet this demand. The revised price target of $80 represents a notable increase and indicates a positive expectation for Vertiv's stock performance.

They say...   "When one door closes, another door opens."   This showed to be true for me. Starting over in a new job at Legrand Data Center Solutions has definitely been a door and eye opener. From being the one who knew everybody, all the processes and all the tricks to being the guy who knew nobody, did not have access to the systems and even had to learn to put coffee beans in the coffee machine is hard. But fun. A lot of fun. I must admit that being forced out of my comfort zone has been very healthy for me. New inspiration, new motivation. As the Datacenter industry is booming, I know I am looking into a very busy and fun 2024. The channel strategy is almost in place, we are building a top-notch Partner ecosystem and we are ready to…..Well all the clichés actually 😊   Happy New Year.
