Abstract

In the information society we live in, offices are becoming our “second home”. A comfortable and secure environment for people in the work place, as well as increasing efficiency and productivity, indicate a growing interest in the integration of information technologies and telecommunications in intelligent buildings. These needs are engaged in large scale distributed environments and a solution for this integration is a type of network that can be standardised throughout the world. This article shows how ATM, being currently the most effective B-ISDN protocol for WAN and LAN, could meet all the requirements for fully integrated systems in intelligent buildings
