Office buildings: where digital demands are highest
In an office, the network is the shop floor. Video conferencing, cloud applications and AI all run over the same infrastructure.
What office tenants expect today
An office tenant no longer assesses a property purely on square metres and location. The question is whether staff can work the way they're used to: which in practice means: connectivity everywhere, including in the meeting room, including when everyone is online at once.
That makes WiFi coverage and capacity hard selection criteria. A property that falls short there gets ruled out, often without the landlord hearing why.
What matters for offices
Coverage in every space
Not just on the shop floor, but also in meeting rooms, quiet booths and the corridor. That's exactly where it's noticed when it falters.

A network that works fine early in the morning may fall short at eleven o'clock on a Tuesday. The audit measures under actual load.
More information →Latency for video conferencing
For hybrid working, delay matters more than raw speed. A stuttering call is immediately noticeable.
More information →Continuity
An office grinds to a halt on outage. A second connection is no longer a luxury for many tenants.
More information →Which level fits your office building?
For offices, the market's centre of gravity sits around IT2 PLUG & PLAY and IT1 HIGH PERFORMANCE: the foundation is there, the tenant can get started, and there's room to optimise.
Do you deliver IT4 CORE or IT5 SHELL? That's not a problem, but it is a different proposition: you're targeting tenants who want to determine their own environment. The label ensures that message is clear in advance.
Certification Standard
Smart Building is no longer an extra for offices
Access control, climate control, visitor registration and reservation systems are increasingly seen as standard for offices. The IT-Label looks not only at whether they're present, but also whether they work together. Read more about Smart Building technology.

How the audit worksRelated information
The IT-Label for property owners
Buildings increasingly compete on digital connectivity and performance. The IT-Label makes those qualities objectively measurable and comparable.
The IT-Label for business premises
From production to logistics: business premises set specific demands on the digital infrastructure. The IT-Label makes the level objectively visible.
Fibre optic in buildings
Why fibre optic forms the basis of the higher IT-Label levels, and why 'up to the building' means something different from 'into your space'.
WiFi coverage
Coverage and capacity are two different things, and both determine whether WiFi is actually usable. How the IT-Label assesses WiFi.
