As IoT adoption grows in the HVAC and building control industries, the ability to build reliable, fast networks has become critical for business success. The cost-effective next-generation communication standard “Nessum” makes seamless device networking possible, even in large-scale facilities. It greatly simplifies data integration and high-precision device control, paving the way for the next generation of HVAC solutions.

There is wiring used for various purposes inside and outside buildings, such as dedicated lines, coaxial cables, and power lines. Nessum is compatible with the international standard IEEE 1901 series, enabling these existing wires to be transformed into communication lines. This eliminates the need for new communication cables, allowing networks to be constructed quickly and at a low cost.
In preparation for the IoT era, there is a need to accelerate lines of communication such as RS485 Modbus, low-speed PLC, and HBS(IEBus). The introduction of Nessum will enable Mbps-based high-speed communication without changing these communication lines. This enables faster and more precise data integration and device control across HVAC systems.
Even in large facilities such as buildings and factories, as well as with smart meters, the multi-hop technology that relays multiple subunits enables communication over several kilometers*. This ensures smooth connectivity and stable communication, even in large-scale facilities with widely distributed HVAC systems.
*The communication distance varies by use environment.
The use of existing wiring (dedicated and power lines) saves the trouble of installing a new LAN cable. This will shorten the construction period and enable the establishment of a low-cost network. The ease of implementation also makes it easy for HVAC facility owners to adopt, ensuring a seamless integration process.
