Optigo Networks
Optigo Networks believes healthy networks are the backbone of any smart building, and people are at the core. We work with people — owners, integrators, and manufacturers alike — to create simplified hardware and software solutions for smart building networks. With our award-winning solutions, we’re the first to address the growing complexity ofthe thousands of machines that make up our buildings. The Internet of Things (IoT) is pushing brick and mortar buildings into the 21st century and beyond. There have never been more connected devices installed in our buildings than there are today, and the numbers keep climbing. The power of these smart devices lies in the data they collect. The granular control and system-wide analytics enabled by the IoT are transforming the spaces where we live, work, and play, making them more efficient, comfortable, and secure. Collecting data from edge devices and pushing it to the cloud is dependent on the one thing that connects it all: the network. If the network is not working properly, it undermines the data’s integrity. Optigo is dedicated to creating healthy networks for smart buildings. We make sure the data moves seamlessly from edge-to-cloud or edge-to-server, uncompromised and on time. We simplify the complex for people who own, manage, and operate smart buildings. Optigo Connect provides robust connectivity and centralized management for healthy smart building networks. Visual BACnet complements this platform with meaningful analytics, network monitoring, and real-time alerts. The Visual BACnet network analytics platform quickly spots common problems and anomalous behaviour in BACnet networks. - Troubleshoot the router you regularly reset, or the network that is painfully slow. - Solve customers’ problems faster and provide regular service reports. - Monitor your network for changes, and get alerts when the network’s health drops.The Optigo Connect network platform makes it easy to build and manage building networks with minimal IT skills. - Design flexible and expandable architectures. - Easily manage your entire network, with our centralized OneView dashboard.- Secure your network at just the click of a button, with OneClick Secure.We build and monitor healthy networks in a rising number of commercial buildings around the world, from stadiums to shopping malls, high-rises, data centres, university campuses, and more.
