The EnOcean Alliance is sponsored by EnOcean GmbH, the company that invented and patented the wireless energy harvesting technology for building automation and smart home applications, as well as for the Internet of Things (IoT).
“The Transcend lighting solution incorporates next-generation technologies from various manufacturers, and thanks to the integration of EnOcean energy harvesting technology, our system will be more powerful and adaptable,” says Giovanni Frezza, product manager for the Molex group. He adds, “The EnOcean standard combines proven wireless technology with the sustainable principle of energy harvesting. Within the innovative EnOcean ecosystem, we are able to offer our customers this industry-leading solution. The ability to integrate EnOcean devices into the Transcend infrastructure, connected to the Ethernet-based network, opens up new opportunities for efficient and intelligent building automation.”
According to Giovanni Frezza, EnOcean's energy harvesting standard fits perfectly into the Transcend low-voltage smart system, which powers and regulates LED lights and other devices and offers multiple applications, enabling the convergence of digital roofs and smart buildings via IP.
“The alliance welcomes Molex,” said Graham Martin, president of EnOcean Alliance, adding, “Our ecosystem will greatly benefit from Molex’s outstanding expertise in PoE lighting. As the smart building concept evolves, EnOcean Alliance will help accelerate its adoption.”
Nearly 400 companies worldwide are part of the EnOcean Alliance. They offer more than 1,500 interoperable products based on the EnOcean wireless standard for energy-efficient and sustainable buildings. These companies develop and market high-quality automation and control systems that comply with the EnOcean wireless energy harvesting standard. The technology enables highly flexible control products characterized by reliable operation and offers the unique advantage of an environmentally friendly technology that eliminates hazardous waste from spent batteries.
