No Strings Attached - APOGEE Wireless
Source:architechweb, Wednesday, February 11, 2009
APOGEE® Wireless, from Siemens Building Technologies Inc. of Buffalo Grove, IL, enables building automation devices - such as room controllers, point modules, meters, variable frequency drives, and room temperature sensors - to communicate wirelessly. APOGEE Wireless utilizes wireless mesh technology, which creates a self-forming, self-healing network virtually transparent to the system and end-user. As a result, the mesh network topology gives the devices redundant paths of communication to ensure a high level of reliability no matter the environment. That means the network can't be compromised because a signal is able to circumvent obstructions as it seeks and finds its target.
