When retro-fitting existing buildings to make them “smart”, deployment and maintenance costs may be strong barrier to adoption. In this context zero zero wire devices (wireless communication + energy harvesting) represent a powerful solution to overcome these barriers. In the report Wireless communication for Smart Buildings we presented several wireless technologies, that could be a part of the technological mix needed to achieve zero wire devices. Two of them are for us the most promising technologies: BLE 5 and LoRa. They are new to the building sector but also the most promising in two different submarkets: the residential/small buildings in one hand and the large buildings in the other hand.
