InduSoft is focusing on the building automation industry. In this month’s webinar we will be inviting special guest, John Rinaldi, of Real-Time Automation to discuss building automation networks, and compare and contrast the differences between LONWorks and BACNet. The webinar will also cover a history of these networks, the architectural implementations and strengths of each, considerations for deployment, and a roadmap of each network.
