Digi-Key Electronics and TE Connectivity mount smart buildings webinar

Electronic components distributor Digi-Key Electronics announced it will be hosting a webinar in collaboration with TE Connectivity (TE) on Wednesday, June 22, at 10 a.m. CDT, entitled "Unleash Your Potential in Smart Building."

Per the companies, the description of the webinar is as follows:

"Buildings are becoming ever smarter with the introduction of new technologies that improve our experiences in them as we live, work and play. The increasingly smart controls employed in buildings include the regulation of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning to help maintain a positive and healthy environment for employees and visitors, which can be vital for enhanced productivity. A key component of in-building communication systems are antennas that have been designed for a range of different wireless protocols."

During the presentation, Anita Lucia Costamagna, business development manager – appliances, and Mohamad Halabi, business development manager – IoT Solutions, both with TE Connectivity, will discuss topics including:

• Technology considerations for creating a smart building ecosystem.
• Market trends, challenges, and solutions in smart buildings.
• Standard embedded and external antenna solutions that can enable reliable wireless connectivity.
• Reliable connection solutions for HVAC applications.

"Technology designers and manufacturers commonly have key roles in creating long-term growth in the smart building ecosystem. They do this by choosing the right components to support their designs where usability, flexibility, power consumption, data speeds, and wireless communications are integral to their success," Halabi noted. "TE brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to product design for these types of applications, and has global experts to help meet your needs, starting with this educational webinar."

"The world around us is getting smarter, making it imperative to implement reliable wireless connections in smart building ecosystems," concluded Jeff Cleveland, director, TE business development at Digi-Key. "We're looking forward to hearing from the experts at TE Connectivity about some of the factors to consider when creating in-building communication systems that help support healthy, comfortable environments for workers and visitors."
