Connecting your sensors and HMIs wirelessly offers clear benefits: no wires to route and an easily expandable system. However, choosing between sub-GHz wireless (RF) and Wi-Fi can be a dilemma. Which is best for connecting your residential ventilation sensors and controls to the ventilation unit? How can you make your customers' lives easier?
868MHz RF offers distinct advantages over 2.4/5GHz home networks. These include lower power usage (some accessories can operate on long-life batteries), less signal interference, and longer range. The higher frequencies found in 2.4GHz used in Wi-Fi, Zigbee, or Thread are absorbed more than the lower frequencies of Airios products. This means our RF signals travel further and can easily penetrate most walls and other obstacles found in houses.
Despite our over 30 years of experience with the AICE protocol, there is always a possibility that the distance between products is too great, leading to weak communication. For large installations where distance may be an issue, Airios offers a wireless repeater that operates on our AICE network.
The BRDG-02M11 functions as a transceiver, forwarding any messages it receives reliably and in real-time. Once set up, it recognizes all other products in the network and starts repeating their messages automatically. The BRDG-02M11 is a market-leading product for the HVAC industry.
