John Gilbert of Rudin Management to Keynote at Connected Real Estate Summit

FAIRFIELD, N.J. - EntSun -- Fifth Gen Media and TMC  today announced John Gilbert, COO/EVP/CTO, of Rudin Management Company (RMC) will keynote at the Connected Real Estate Summit being held February 12 – 14^th 2020 at the Greater Fort Lauderdale/Broward Country Convention Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This One of a Kind Summit, which is collocated with the ITExpo, is focused on exploring today's IT and Wireless Networking challenges facing Commercial Real Estate leaders. There are over 5 million commercial properties across the US and in the era where connectivity is now utility like, less than 10% of these have any kind of quality wireless connectivity solution. This reality is presenting new challenges while introducing opportunity for those that are informed and prepared. With the recent rollout of CBRS, Private LTE, Wi-Fi6, and the oncoming train known as 5G, the landscape of wireless solution choices and how they're funded is anything but clear. Now include IoT, smart buildings and public safety, it only gets more complicated. This event will explore how today's in-building connectivity options can help property owners and the enterprise deliver a long-term solution benefiting tenants, users, and the smart building. John Gilbert will deliver his keynote "Convergence of Connectivity and Proptech" on Thursday February 13^th, 2020 at 12pm.

"I'm really happy to be able to discuss this topic of convergence to an audience that is composed of both Real Estate players and wireless and tech executives," said John Gilbert. "As Rich Berliner, The CEO of Fifth Gen Media and I have discussed for many years, there would be a difficult road for Proptech without adequate broadband in building connectivity. I thought it was about time that we talked about the convergence of these two topics with immense challenges and huge capex that go along. Between 5G, CBRS, Cybersecurity, WiFi6 and the massive amount of Proptech investments being made, this is the time for us to examine and understand the symbiotic relationship we have with wireless," he said.
