The emergence of a different wireless technology can have a major impact on the reach and cost-effectiveness of implementing Building Management Systems’ (BMS) into smart buildings. Companies have primarily had to rely on disparate building management systems which involve a significant amount of local, manual interaction, low automation, and dedicated infrastructure per application. However new LoRa low power, long range technology introduces a long range and low power consumption which enables a more integrated solution to address commercial building management systems at a reduced cost for both installation and operation.
