IP for Commercial Buildings

HOW IT WORKS

01

FAST

Technologies from the various partners are already available on IP, so vendors do not have to wait. There is limitless scalability.

02

SECURE

All IP technologies require security and IP-BLiS is aligning security requirements for the industry and not reinventing them.

03

EASY

Harmonization of access to an IP network with connected building automation products allows for better, quicker and less costly integration.

ABOUT IP-BLiS

WHO WE ARE

We are not a new organization but rather existing organizations working together. The members of IP-BLiS intend to align on a common network on-boarding and shared secure network communication procedures to be applied in administrated IP based networks for building control and management systems. These common procedures ensure uniform integration of different control systems in a shared administrated IP based network and reduce the network administration effort serving different systems.

OUR VISION

To make commercial buildings more responsive to the needs of users by promoting a secure, multi-standard, harmonized IP-based solution. Harmonization of access to an IP network with connected building automation products allowing for better integration.

MISSION

The IP-BLiS liaison parties, through collaboration and cooperation, will educate and influence the market regarding application framework standards over IP for commercial building connectivity through marketing and communications.
