日本語 Close collaboration in further developing the EnOcean wireless standard
San Ramon, CA, USA – January 22, 2019 – The EnOcean Alliance and Eltako strengthen their collaboration and work together to promote the development of smart building solutions based on the EnOcean wireless standard.
Headquartered in Fellbach near Stuttgart, Germany, Eltako has stood for experience, expertise and quality in developing and manufacturing innovative products for building installation and control technology for more than 70 years. Eltako Smart Home Professional – the smart system in buildings – is based on the global EnOcean wireless standard. The self-powered and thus maintenance-free radio switches and window/door contacts with energy generators are exclusive EnOcean highlights. Eltako carries a total of more than 300 innovative wireless products as well as an extensive range of switches in four design lines based on the EnOcean technology. The EnOcean wireless standard (ISO/IEC 14543-3-1X) on the sub 1 GHz band is an excellent choice for use in buildings, thanks to its range of up to 30 meters.
The EnOcean Alliance, which has more than 400 members worldwide, is one of the most successful alliances in the area of smart building control. The non-profit organization standardizes and develops intelligent building solutions with integrated energy harvesting technology. Its Board of Directors brings together representatives of leading international solution providers in the areas of building automation, the smart home and the Internet of Things (IoT), including BSC Computer, Digital Concepts, EnOcean, IBM, Honeywell, Vertuoz by Engie and Vicos.
