Mercury Security and Tridium Announce Partnership
Companies collaborate to integrate platform technologies to advance intelligent
building integration
Long Beach, CA and Richmond, VA --Mercury Security
Corporation, a leader in open platforms for access control and Tridium, the
leader in open platforms for device to enterprise integration and building
automation today announced a technology partnership to integrate their
respective platforms. The collaboration of the two companies enables device
level integration between building automation and security functions based on
an open architecture that allows for new levels of intelligent building solutions.
Applying Mercury's technology with Tridium's
Niagara Framework, provides building owners and facility management solutions
that integrates these once disparate systems and devices over an end-to-end
IP-based infrastructure for any type of building.
The two companies will be demonstrating the
technology at the ISC West conference in Las
Vegas. The solution will be commercially available
through Mercury and Tridium partners later this year.
"Our work to bridge the security side of a
building with the operational systems is enhanced by the Niagara Framework and quickly enabled us to develop and deliver to our
OEM partners a robust solution that further ties access control into all the
environmental systems including HVAC, lighting and more", said Frank Gasztonyi,
Co-Founder and CTO of, Mercury Security.
Marc Petock, Tridium's Vice President Global
Marketing and Communications commented, "We are very excited about this partnership
with Mercury because they are an ideal partner; on the technical side both
companies are dedicated to open platforms and we embrace the support of
integration and interoperability of disparate systems and devices. On the
business side, our technologies help to deliver better buildings---ones that
are smarter, use less energy, are more efficient, have lower operating costs,
are safer and contribute to a sustainable environment".
