DALLAS — Whereas the potential of conventional, on-wire communications technology has largely been exhausted, wireless technology in building automation and solutions is developing very, very quickly.
“In a few years, the advantages of wireless communications over conventional communications will be so overwhelming that the majority of communications in residential and simple commercial premises will be handled using wireless systems,” predicted Helmut Macht, chief technology officer for Siemens Building Technologies Group. “The innovations in wireless communication allows more and more wired communication to be replaced.”
