Signalink
Signalink designs, manufactures and sells networking technology that uses a building’s existing electrical wiring as its backbone. The products solve the lack of communication typical in buildings that prevent them from implementing energy management and modernizing infrastructure. Including fire detection and alarms, HVAC controls, lighting controls, presence detection, security monitoring and medical device monitoring.
Signalink’s true differentiator lies not in a particular product but in the comprehensive platform that delivers control of a building’s core infrastructure and systems. This cohesive platform allows the company to “capture” an entire building and sell a full range of products with minimal incremental cost to the building owner beyond new hardware.
By partnering with key service providers, energy management in the building can be extended to grid based Demand/Response, to reach loads never before accessible in more than 8 million buildings. Reducing energy in large number of buildings by up to 30% means millions of tons of green house gases never get produced. And the buildings save on energy cost and even get paid to shed load during peak demand.
The Company has spent two years field testing its designs and currently has 150+ installations of its initial product, Fire-Link®. The Company has developed several patents related to its networking technology and has an ongoing patent initiative with the goal of securing technological ownership of the low bandwidth powerline networking space.
