Mesh485 is the first complete wireless sensor networking system developed specifically to replace RS-485 cabling. RS-485 cabling is used extensively throughout commercial buildings for energy management and building automation applications.
The new Mesh485 system delivers significant benefits to both building automation OEMs and to their customers. OEMs can quickly develop and deploy sensor networks using existing RS-485 controls and devices to enhance current offerings and to develop new offerings not possible before, for example in buildings where wiring is prohibitively expensive or impractical. Mesh485 has already been added to and tested with energy management applications by leaders in the building automation and energy management systems market including WebGen Systems, Basys and Tridium.
