ZigBee Applications

Building Automation

The modern building is a complex combination of multiple monitoring and control systems, which all need to work together in a reliable, harmonious manner. The benefits of a building that has well-orchestrated systems are innumerable, including security, energy-efficiency, and comfort. However, achieving that golden prize of peak coordinated building performance can be demanding, considering the intricacies of building systems like the following:

· HVAC
· Lighting control
· Safety systems
· Structural integrity monitoring
· Access control
· More

Automation is increasingly critical for a building to perform its best, but automation requires connection of disparate systems. Traditional wired networking solutions are an unwieldy connection method; in addition to being prohibitively expensive, they are sometimes impossible to install in hard-to-reach areas of a building – which is precisely where they are often needed.

ZigBee is the answer to building automation challenges. A low-power wireless standard, ZigBee unites battery-powered wireless devices in self-organizing, self-healing mesh networks that efficiently coordinate all modern building systems operations. MeshNetics ZigBit modules optimize ZigBee network benefits by combining low power with high range. That means less maintenance (a single module could run for five years without a battery replacement ) and fewer nodes needed to cover certain area.
