The wireless products within a BAS system are ideal for any location where it is cost-prohibitive, difficult, or aesthetically unappealing to hardwire between BAS products. Examples of these locations include the following:
- Chiller plants, equipment rooms, or rooftops where running conduit for communication lines is difficult.
- Office buildings, university campuses, educational facilities, correctional facilities, and other commercial structures with brick or solid concrete walls, ceilings, or both that impede hard-wired applications.
- Retail stores, and other commercial real estate where tenant turnover is frequent and temporary walls and ceilings are common.
- Museums, historical buildings, atriums, and other sites where building aesthetics and historical preservation are important.
- Stadiums, arenas, gymnasiums, convention centers, airports, zoos, and other locations with large, open spaces, wood veneer, or other decorative surfaces that present challenges to hardwiring.
- Buildings with asbestos or other hazardous materials that must not be disturbed.
- Buildings with occupants sensitive to business disruptions.
- Locations with high labor costs.
