The rapid growth of smart building technology

Until the start of 2020, the primary function of smart building IoT technology has been environmental management, preventive maintenance, building security and safety. These applications enable organisations to remotely monitor, remotely control and automate processes, delivering cost efficiency and safer, secure buildings.

With the global outbreak of Covid-19, we are now seeing the rapid growth of newer smart building applications. Technologies such as thermal imaging cameras and occupancy monitoring systems are being deployed to help minimise the risk of spreading coronavirus – helping those responsible to actively manage social distancing policies.

Why are smart building solution providers turning to cellular connectivity?

Although IoT smart building applications are growing, the fundamental connectivity needs of solution providers have not changed. They continue to need simple, highly secure and resilient connectivity and the expertise to deploy across a range of buildings and environments.

Many smart building solution providers are now choosing to deploy cellular connectivity over (or in addition to) other technologies such as WiFi. The reasons for this are clear. Firstly, with cellular connectivity, we typically see end-to-end ownership by the solution provider, who isn’t reliant on other, fixed line networks whose policies can make integration difficult. Further to this, it can often be the case that fixed lines are not in place or will take several months to be installed.

Secure 4G for smart buildings

ENGIE, a leader in smart building analytics, needed secure, cost-effective and flexible connectivity for IoT-enabled monitoring across diverse facilities.

Fixed-line solutions were costly and slow, so they partnered with Wireless Logic for a multi-network 4G solution. Using SIMPro and private APNs, ENGIE now ensures secure, reliable data transmission, optimising energy efficiency and operational performance.

"Working with Wireless Logic Group gives us the time, confidence and flexibility to focus more on our core business. They operate a seamless experience which complements our own operation in the field. Their ability to deliver a complete end-to-end solution speeds up each roll-out whilst still providing us with complete control over our connected portfolio."
