Enable remote monitoring and increase the security of buildings with the 2nd generation Squid.link gateways
The rapidly changing IoT industry offers huge potential for the building management sector. Smart building solutions can enable remote control and monitoring of buildings, improve energy monitoring, reduce energy consumption, and facilitate maintenance for building managers.
The 2nd generation Squid.link gateways are an ideal fit for smart building solutions. The modular, multiprotocol, and secure gateways enable solution providers to develop smart building solutions that fully fit their needs. With the market-ready Squid.link gateways, solution providers can skip a long product development process and quickly launch their own smart building solution.
The gateways’ easy-to-use software architecture provides several options to optimally assist in application development. Solution providers can choose between configuring their application, programing their application, and teaming up with trusted development partners.
Modular and cost-effective gateways
When opting for a 2nd generation Squid.link gateway, solution providers can choose between two variants, the Squid.link 2B and the Squid.link 2X. Both models can be customized through different configuration options resulting in cost-effective gateways that match solution providers’ needs. The Squid.link 2B can include multiple protocols such as Zigbee, Z-Wave, Bluetooth, Wireless M-Bus, and WLAN, one out of three hardware security chips, and one of two memory options. In addition to these options, the Squid.link 2X comes with a larger CPU and memory and has options for tamper protection through an accelerometer.

Increase the security of buildings
Smart security systems are one of the fastest growing parts of the IoT industry. With the 2nd generation Squid.link gateways, solution providers are able to integrate security devices like motion sensors, window sensors, or keypads into their smart building solution.
The security features of the gateways ensure that the collected data is kept private. The hardware security chips offer a simple but effective way of encrypting and decrypting data. The accelerometer that can be included in the Squid.link 2X provides an extra level of security as it notifies the user when the gateway is moved.
Enable remote control and monitoring of buildings
With the 2nd generation Squid.link, building managers are able to remotely control and monitor buildings. Data from different devices such as Intelligent Smoke Alarms, Water Leak Detectors, or Motion Sensors is collected and made accessible through the gateways in real time. This way, building managers are able to check up on their properties remotely and quickly respond in cases of emergencies.
Enable real-time energy monitoring
Thanks to the 2nd generation Squid.links’ support of Wireless M-Bus, energy meters can easily be integrated into a smart building solution. With smart metering devices, energy consumption data can be collected remotely, saving time and money compared to manual meter reading.
Smart energy meters also enable building managers and tenants to keep track of the energy consumption in a building and indicate possible sources of energy waste. Zigbee-devices such as the Smart Plug Mini 2 or Smart Cable can assist in monitoring the electricity consumption of different devices and optimize energy usage.
