Lynxspring was one of Tridium’s very first partners, and an original early adopter of the Niagara Framework® technology and the JACE® controller. We have been a Niagara partner since 2002. As a full-service OEM partner, we are not only a reseller, but are a certified Niagara developer and an authorized Niagara trainer with onsite, virtual and computer-based training capabilities.
Lynxspring’s partnership with Tridium includes continual collaboration as a technical resource for product enhancements and features and we also contributed to the design of Niagara AX and Niagara 4.
Lynxspring is the first company to take the Niagara Framework and embed it, making it available in a product portfolio of IP programmable controllers. This has further enabled Niagara to be utilized in any building and facility including small to mid-sized facilities, multi-site environments; plant and equipment control such as air handling units, roof top units, boilers, fan coil units, heat pumps and VAV’s.
Lynxspring is committed to developing, manufacturing, and supporting intelligent building technologies that connect people, devices and operational data in a responsible way and improves our quality of life.
Lynxspring delivers IP solutions developed by innovators dedicated to the efficiency and sustainability of our shared building environment.
