Global leaders in smart building technology, Legrand, Schneider Electric and Siemens Smart Infrastructure have announced the formation of a strategic interest group to tackle critical challenges in providing ultra-resilient and interoperable wireless connectivity everywhere in buildings using the new NR+ technology standard. Supported by wireless industry experts such as last mile semiconductor, Nordic Semiconductor ASA, DSR Corporation and Wirepas, and embedded security expert Kudelski IoT, these companies aim to establish NR+, the new technology standard purpose-built for IoT, as the interoperable connectivity for digital buildings.
“DECT Forum is proud to host the NR+ interest group, which represents a groundbreaking step toward addressing the connectivity challenges in buildings. NR+ is purpose-built for large-scale, dense sensor networks, capable of adapting to various systems while meeting high standards for scalability, cost and reliability. Bringing together global leaders in technology and wireless innovation confirms the potential of NR+ to set a new standard in buildings,” said Andreas Zipp, Chairman of the DECT Forum. This is the worldwide association of companies and organisations in the DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) wireless industry. Dedicated to the advancement of DECT and related wireless standards, the DECT Forum promotes innovation, interoperability, and the development of future-proof wireless communication solutions.
Today, 75% of buildings are not energy efficient; they account for 30% of global energy consumption and are responsible for much of the inefficiency within the built environment. The NR+ interest group sees an urgent need for robust connectivity solutions like NR+ that enable cost-efficient, scalable, and reliable digital transformation. The demand for wireless devices in buildings is expected to grow to hundreds of millions annually in the coming years. By implementing NR+ as a global standard, the group seeks to facilitate a transformation toward more sustainable, more energy-efficient buildings capable of adapting to user needs in real-time.
The NR+ interest group will be working closely with silicon vendors, stack vendors, access point providers and smart building standards organizations as well as advocating regulatory adoption to bring the NR+ standard to the forefront of the smart building sector. By aligning technology development with the needs of smart buildings, this initiative will drive a new level of digital transformation for building owners, operators and system integrators.
