Wireless BAS Makes a Big Splash

Hard-wired building automation systems (BAS) have long been used to optimize the performance of mechanical systems in commercial and industrial facilities. As the backbone of many buildings, these systems are known for being reliable and secure; however, they can be somewhat inflexible, due to the fact that a hard-wired BAS often requires running wire and conduit over long distances, which can be difficult — and sometimes cost-prohibitive — in retrofit situations.
