WiredScore recently formed WiredScore Connectivity Advisory Committee, a 10-person board composed of real estate, technology, and telecommunications experts.

The committee will provide guidance on emerging trends and technologies in building connectivity. WiredScore has developed the Wired Certification standard that evaluates and distinguishes best-in-class internet connectivity in commercial buildings.

“The committee’s broad base of industry knowledge will be instrumental in our continued advocacy for next generation, high-tech buildings throughout the United States and Europe,” said Arie Barendrecht, founder and CEO of WiredScore. WiredScore’s Wired Certification seal program is operational in over 80 cities.

The seal indicates that buildings “have been independently evaluated and guaranteed to provide internet infrastructure that today’s businesses require to thrive,” according to a WiredScore press release.
