Tecno has installed the system at select stations throughout a major urban subway network in Latin America to wirelessly monitor and gather systems data.
Smart buildings specialist Tecno Buildings has deployed a pilot programme that seeks to revolutionise the way internet of things (IoT) data is collected in an urban mass transit system using the Veea Edge platform.
Tecno Buildings has installed VeeaHubs with Containerised Portable Niagara (CPN) at select stations throughout a major urban subway network in Latin America to wirelessly monitor and gather systems data.
Veea collaborated closely with Tridium to develop CPN, and is a leading Tridium partner deploying containerised Niagara at the network edge – removing wired connectivity in greenfield and brownfield deployments.
The objective of the subway pilot programme is to demonstrate that the combination of the Veea Edge platform running CPN within a long-range wide area network (LoRaWan) will reduce energy consumption costs while also providing proactive and predictive maintenance alerts for unplanned system downtime.
“The Veea Edge platform is living up to its stellar reputation for flexibility and ease of deployment in edge-based functionality,” said Alfredo Melnick, founder and general director of Tecno Buildings. “We’re delighted to have Veea as a strategic partner. Veea’s smart edge solutions reduce installation complexity and offer competitive advantages that we can share with our end customers. We look forward to many successful deployments in additional project rollouts.”
“It is fantastic to see this deployment of Containerised Portable Niagara on Veea’s Edge platform in such a unique setting,” said Michael Youngs, global sales director, OEM at Tridium, an independent business entity of Honeywell International.
“The transportation network deployment demonstrates a winning combination of containerised Niagara framework on Veea’s Edge platform and Tecno Buildings design skills. Running Niagara at the edge will reduce downtime and costs for the transportation hubs and allow for use case expansion at the same locations to address other needs.”

According to Tridium, the Niagara Framework is a comprehensive software infrastructure that serves as a central console for connecting real-time operational data to the people and systems that manage workflows in smart buildings, data centres, industrial processes, smart cities and other aspects of business enterprises.
With CPN running on VeeaHub products, the Niagara Framework benefits from the full range of wired and wireless networking solutions to connect to electro-mechanical systems onsite, while offering easier installation and maintenance as well as reliability afforded through network redundancy.
Veea claims the Edge platform enables building managers and property developers to experience more efficient deployments, higher speeds and lower latencies with more networking options, wide range of expansion options, less downtime, and significant cost savings, along with the simplicity of remote management and monitoring of IoT devices.
