AKCP Announces Firmware Update Featuring BACnet Protocol Support
The Californer/10321054

SAN FRANCISCO - Californer -- With this update, AKCP's sensorProbe+ series of base units now feature BACnet/IP compatibility, enabling communication of sensor data — such as temperature, humidity, differential pressure, and power parameters — directly to BACnet-compliant systems. This eliminates the need for third-party gateways or middleware, simplifying deployment and cutting integration costs.

Key benefits of the new firmware include:

• Native BACnet/IP Support: Seamless integration into BACnet-enabled building automation systems.
• Enhanced visibility: Share mission-critical environmental data with BMS, improving operational visibility.
• Cost and Complexity Reduction: No additional hardware or protocol translators required.
• Future-Ready Architecture: Lays the groundwork for future enhancements and greater scalability.

"At AKCP we are always seeking to add value to our monitoring system and expand the number of systems we can communicate with. Implementing BACnet, a protocol that's commonly found in modern building automation, further enhances our product range" said Nicholas Barrowclough, President of AKCP. "This enhancement ensures our customers can incorporate AKCP's environmental monitoring capabilities directly into their facility management systems with minimal effort."
