The Within Wireless podcast discussed wireless and infrastructure technology in commercial real estate. The panel consisted of Lon Zakhar, CTO of Car Properties, and Mike Valls, Vice President for Mobility at Vigin Technologies. Building owners are interested in smart buildings that can enhance the customer experience and reduce costs by using interconnected HVAC units, intelligent lighting, occupancy sensors and more. Connectivity is vital to tenants who expect Wi-Fi, CBRS, private LTE 5G or cellular networks. The cost of these technologies varies, but building owners can cut costs by providing a backbone infrastructure while letting tenants invest in their own customized solutions as required. The discussion cited the example of One Congress building in Boston as an example of implementing Corning Fiber technologies to provide connectivity.

Only 60% of water utilities are confident they can serve large industrial customers

Only 60% of water utilities are confident they can serve large industrial customers

Black & Veatch's 2026 Water Report finds confidence in serving large industrial customers fell to 60% from 73% in 2024. Survey respondents ranked funding and availability of capital ahead of expanding regulation, and 45% say funding will be insufficient to meet capital needs in the next five to 10 years. For industrial site planners, the figures are a reason to raise water availability earlier in site-selection discussions.

  • 01Utility confidence in serving large industrial customers fell from 73% in 2024 to 60% in 2026, according to Black & Veatch; for operators expanding in regions where supply is already tight, water availability should enter site-selection discussions as early as power.
  • 02Capital availability (31%) has moved ahead of regulation (19%) as the challenge utilities rank first, and 45% say funding won't cover capital needs over the next 5-10 years, a benchmark for anyone building a rate case or asset-renewal budget.
  • 0370% of survey respondents say they collect sufficient operational data but only 19% say they use it effectively, shifting the procurement question from more sensors to what a platform does with the data already flowing in.
