Cisco Collaboration Hub – PENN1 NYC Located in the PENN1 building at the heart of Manhattan, the Cisco New York office is a collaboration hub that serves it's 1,700 team members in the tri-state area (New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut). Cisco wanted to make sure the redesigned space provided a great environment for hybrid work and collaboration and determined this as a perfect opportunity to transform the aging building and migrate onto a converged OT network. PENN1’s design prioritizes technology as the “fourth utility” alongside water, gas, and power, converging building OT systems—HVAC, lighting, alarms, and security—onto a single Ethernet PoE-enabled network. This next-generation PoE infrastructure, operating on DC power, consolidates data and power delivery, achieving over 45% energy waste reduction (per CSA Group), slashing operating costs for building OT systems. The 100% PoE retrofit integrates IT/OT/IoT, connecting over 5,000 endpoints, including automated blinds, smart desks, and sensor-driven lighting. Embedded sensors optimize power allocation in real-time, enhancing efficiency and smart functionality.

"The PENN 1 retrofit has been an amazing success. The seamless interaction and integration of lighting, shades, HVAC and sensors was vital in this transformation. While Cisco provides the foundational elements, it is our partnership with our smart building partners such as Mecho, Molex and MHT that make it all work" Bob Cicero, America’s Smart Building Leader at Cisco
