The Innovators Awards are judged based on the following criteria:
This year, Superior Essex received a Gold-level award for its PowerWise 1G 4PPoE cable and its role in the West Baden Springs Hotel relighting project. The West Baden Springs Hotel is one of America’s oldest resort hotels, with a history that stretches back more than a century. Seeking to enhance operational and energy efficiencies and add to its already unique guest experience, West Baden Springs Hotel sought out Platformatics and Superior Essex to retrofit the atrium with a next-generation intelligent lighting solution. The new system provided by Superior Essex and Platformatics includes over 500 tunable, IP-ready lights that are interconnected over a single local area network (LAN) by more than 30,000 feet of Superior Essex PowerWise 1G 4PPoE cabling. This new solution provided the hotel significant improvements to its energy efficiency, user experience, occupant health, safety and productivity. It has also established a foundation for future converged network applications with features such as data gathering and analytics that will continue to add value as the hotel expands its in-building network.
“We are honored to be recognized by CI&M as a Gold-level Innovator for our work on the West Baden Springs Hotel project,” says Will Bryan, Vice President of Technology and Market Development for Superior Essex. “The West Baden connected lighting solution for is a great example of how our innovative cable, PoE lighting technology and architecture can be blended together to provide a truly unique and cost-effective user experience.”
