Building Automation Systems (BAS) play a crucial role in modern buildings, enabling centralized control and automation of various functions like lighting, HVAC, and security. Traditionally, BAS relied on wired networks for communication between building automation devices and the central control system. However, the growing adoption of wireless communication protocols offers numerous advantages for BAS applications. This article explores the benefits, limitations, types of wireless protocols, and technical considerations for implementing wireless communication in Building Automation Systems.
