Smart Building Solutions from TE Connectivity
Buildings are becoming ever smarter with the introduction of new technologies that improve our experiences in them – as we live, work and play.
The increasingly smart control employed in buildings includes the regulation of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning, along with the very latest lighting technologies to help maintain a positive and healthy environment for employees and visitors, which can be vital for enhanced productivity. In addition, TE Connectivity devices can help deliver enhanced safety and security for buildings and the people in them.
All these systems increasingly take advantage of intelligent sensor networks to deliver more automated control, using both wired and wireless technologies – and a key component of in-building communication systems are antennas that have been designed for a range of different wireless protocols.
Avnet Abacus' Europe-wide team of specialists work closely with TE Connectivity to provide customers with the highest possible level of product and technical support for all building requirements from concept to prototype to production – offering a comprehensive range of components for HVAC, lighting and safety and security applications, as well as antennas for wireless communications.
