Siemens introduces wireless building automation system

Siemens Building Technologies, Inc., has announced the introduction of the industry's first wireless building automation system. Based on proven mesh topology for reliability, APOGEE® Wireless field level networks are ready to provide facility builders, owners and managers increased occupant comfort, greater flexibility, and optimized, efficient control of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.
 
“Our customers continue to rely on us to provide innovative building automation technologies that deliver true value to their operations,” said Rick LeBlanc, Sr. vice president, and head of Siemens Building Automation Division. “While the potential of wireless should be obvious, the technology only has value to our customers if proven and ready for the rigors of real-world application.”
 
Ready for challenging building environments, Siemens APOGEE Wireless ensures network integrity by creating multiple redundant paths of communication. A mesh topology field level network is inherently self-healing, so users won't have to worry about losing communication with control devices across the building automation system.
