There are many challenges to integrating a building monitoring system for one building. The design and specification of devices to get the correct information is critical. No matter how much you plan there are often issues arise that are not planned. Such as network security issues, firmware incompatibility, protocol issues, installation inconsistencies and part shortages. Now, imagine if there were multiple Edge sites that are unmanned and spread geographically across many different regions. How would would this possibly complicate the design and integration of the system? What will you encounter that you don’t plan for and how will it be solved? In this presentation we will discuss the differences and similarities of a single site deployment and Edge deployments. What devices are typically monitored and how they integrate. Also, share valuable lessons that were encountered with the remote site deployments.
