For most years, Viconics has consistently introduced innovative products which have gained respect in the industry for being reliable, flexible and energy efficient. This time Viconics is proud to announce the official release of the new GW2 Wireless Manager. The GW2 Wireless Gateway Manager and Zigbee Pro VT7000/8000 Series Room Controllers are targeted for either retrofit or new construction applications where the addition of communicating field bus wiring within the building space is prohibitive.

The GW2 and Communicating Room Controllers with a wireless field bus encourage the use of existing wiring utilized by existing electronic controller type controls. The GW2, when utilized in conjunction with the Room Controllers, will offer the integrator simple BACnet IP objects to integrate over standard building automation systems using familiar integration toolsets. The GW2 has an aesthetic look, similar to a router, allowing for in-room deployment.
