Nov. 23, 2005: Siemens Introduces First Wireless Building Automation System
BUFFALO GROVE , Ill. - Siemens Building Technologies Inc. has announced the introduction of what it says is the industry's first wireless building automation system. Based on mesh topology for reliability, says the company, APOGEE® Wireless field level networks are designed to provide increased occupant comfort, greater flexibility, and optimized, efficient control of HVAC systems.
Siemens APOGEE Wireless ensures network integrity by creating multiple redundant paths of communication, the company says. 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.
