The ControlNET Tridium Niagara® system provides a computer networked hardware and software platform that will reside on your IT infrastructure. Since they use the TCP/IP protocol, no conflict will exist with your IT professionals. The Tridium Niagara® platform defines open system architecture for the control industry. The system will grow and expand in functionality as the needs of your building grow.

• The Tridium Niagara® product is built on standard products such as TCP/IP, JAVA and XML allowing for open interaction and secure communication across IT networks.
• Tridium’s Niagara® resides on off-the-shelf hardware, which can readily be purchased by the customer or other integrators.
• All modules including HVAC, life safety monitoring, and power meter, lighting and standby power integration reside on a standard network. The HVAC components offered in a ControlNET proposal are all open protocol certified controls.
• All products are available through other authorized dealers as well as directly from our ControlNET office.

A truly open control system is great for your enterprise and is a double-edged sword for a control contractor. In an open environment, if the control contractor of choice performs poorly, he can be replaced easily. Therefore, ControlNET must provide excellent service, value and pricing to remain the favored partner. We are ready for that challenge.

Finally, ControlNET and the Tridium Niagara® architecture is the backbone for a long-term plan. The people behind the system will partner with your team to develop an integrated facility management program. With ControlNET maintaining the focus on reducing cost and improving effective building management, you can focus on their mission of providing a secure, comfortable and efficient environment for your visitors and staff and the people you serve.

TCP/IP the “Gold Standard” in Interoperability

Tridium’s Niagara® technology provides unsurpassed access and flexibility, with browser based front-end software that is easier to use and requires zero maintenance. Our use of industry standard TCP/IP servers means Tridium’s Niagara requires no proprietary hardware. Owners will not be stuck maintaining a front-end PC that is proprietary, goes out-of-date, and is difficult to find hardware or support. This also means that the IT staff of your facility will maintain the Tridium Niagara® servers themselves instead of placing a call for technician support.

Other benefits of newer technology include customizable user interfaces for consolidated management of environmental and other desired future integrations. Additionally, the ability to forward alarms to mobile phones, pagers, and email addresses comes with the Tridium’s Niagara® solution.
