Enhanced Aviexx Technology with 5-G, and BLE for Rooftop Commercial HVAC

FY 2021-22 · 2021-11-01

Summary
The successful rollout of Aviexx for Residential HVAC has led to an abundance of requests from large national service providers for an enhanced version of the technology that can connect through cellular. Rooftop units are exposed to extremes in weather. Furthermore the Aviexx Edge Node will be mounting internally to the equipment making an external antenna cruicial. Additional multiple sensors may be required in some applications necessitating BLE connectivity. The BLE devices will be somewhat remote from the Edge Nodes and may be able to connect with more than one. So, a method to track and manage connection paths is critical.

Description
The successful rollout of Aviexx for Residential HVAC has led to an abundance of requests from large national service providers for an enhanced version of the technology that can connect through cellular. Rooftop units are exposed to extremes in weather. Furthermore the Aviexx Edge Node will be mounting internally to the equipment making an external antenna cruicial. Additional multiple sensors may be required in some applications necessitating BLE connectivity. The BLE devices will be somewhat remote from the Edge Nodes and may be able to connect with more than one. So, a method to track and manage connection paths is critical.
Description (French)
Le succès du déploiement du système de chauffage, de ventilation et de climatisation (CVC) résidentiel d'Aviexx a mené à une abondance de demandes de la part de grands fournisseurs de services nationaux pour une version améliorée de la technologie qui peut se connecter par le biais de la téléphonie cellulaire. Les unités sur les toits sont exposées à des conditions météorologiques extrêmes. De plus, le dispositif Aviexx Edge Node sera monté à l'intérieur de l'équipement, ce qui rendra cruciale l'utilisation d'une antenne externe. Des capteurs multiples supplémentaires peuvent être requis dans certaines applications nécessitant une connectivité au Bluetooth à basse énergie (BLE). Les dispositifs BLE seront quelque peu éloignés des dispositifs Edge Node et pourront se connecter à plusieurs d'entre eux. Il est donc essentiel de disposer d'une méthode permettant de suivre et de gérer les chemins de connexion.
