Wireless is being deployed with many different building automation systems today. Matching the attributes of various wireless solutions with specific building needs can be very confusing and generate poor outcomes. Attendees will learn how to match the wireless solutions available today with the needs of effective building automation and operation. They will learn about solutions that are open, reliable, can co-exist with other wireless solutions and can be ready for easy, cost-effective integration with existing building systems. Evolving controls capabilities, like open protocols, standardized sequences, web-based solutions, and remote connectivity are a few of the trends leveraged to improve the way we operate our buildings today and in the future.
