Intesis, established in 2000 and headquartered in Igualada, Spain, is a leading provider of communication gateway solutions for HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system integration within building automation. In 2016, Intesis was acquired by HMS Industrial Networks AB, a Swedish company specializing in industrial communication products. The intesis brand is made up of two product categories, Network gateways and HVAC gateways, both providing the convenience of integrating multiple devices into one system allowing for easier management and potential cost savings.
What's the Difference Between Network and HVAC Gateways?
Network Gateways
Network gateways are designed to connect and integrate various building systems beyond HVAC, including lighting, energy metering, and industrial devices. Think of them as translators that enable different smart systems to communicate and work together.
By linking devices like lighting systems, EV chargers, and energy meters, network gateways create a more efficient and automated building where everything runs seamlessly under one unified system. For example, they can connect BACnet, Modbus, and ASCII devices, allowing them to function as a single, cohesive network.
HVAC Gateways
HVAC gateways link heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to smart building networks, enabling centralized control and monitoring. This allows users to access system data, operate HVAC units remotely, and improve energy efficiency, all from a single platform.
Ideal for both homes and businesses, these gateways simplify HVAC management, helping to lower energy costs while ensuring a comfortable environment. No matter the building size, they provide convenience and enhanced climate control, creating an easily manageable and comfortable environment.
