NeoCortec, manufacturer of the ultra-low-power bi-directional wireless mesh networking protocol stack NeoMesh, announces that Styrvel, a Danish developer of a wireless retrofit building automation platform for existing commercial buildings, has signed a NeoMesh software licensing agreement. NeoMesh provides the wireless communication layer connecting Styrvel’s battery-powered devices, including room sensors and electronic radiator thermostats, to the building gateway. Its ability to support large numbers of battery-powered devices in a self-organising network without the need for any cabling or dedicated repeaters is particularly well suited to retrofit installations, where installation cost, scalability and battery lifetime are key requirements.

Remarks Cato Skibsted Fagermo, Founder and CEO of Styrvel: “For Styrvel, the key value of NeoMesh is that it allows us to build large-scale building automation without adding new communication infrastructure throughout the building. This supports our ambition to make retrofit building automation simpler to install and economically attractive for a much larger share of existing buildings.”

Thomas Steen Halkier, CEO at NeoCortec, comments: “We are very happy for Styrvel to use our NeoMesh wireless mesh technology, as we believe it is the most cost-effective way to implement an intelligent facility infrastructure for managing heating and indoor climate, especially when it comes to pre-existing buildings.”

About NeoCortec

NeoCortec was founded in 2007 with the aim of developing and patenting several innovations related to Wireless Sensor Networks. The main product is NeoMesh. NeoMesh is a wireless communication protocol to be embedded in smart devices to enable communication between the devices as well as to the cloud. NeoMesh is built completely from the scratch to overcome some of the limitations that e.g. Zigbee, Zwave, Bluetooth and Thread have: Scalability in number of devices, range and power consumption. At NeoCortec, we aim towards making non-smart and large buildings smarter by using NeoMesh. Easy upgrade without cabling. NeoMesh is available on ultra-low-power bi-directional wireless mesh network communication modules as well as on a license basis on many various chipsets.
