Veea Inc., a first-to-market pioneer in hyperconverged multi-access networks, incorporating edge-to-cloud computing and Edge AI, has partnered with smart buildings specialist Tecno Buildings on the first commercially deployed use of the groundbreaking Containerized Portable Niagara (CPN) software framework in a mass urban transit system. Veea collaborated closely with Tridium to develop CPN, and is a leading Tridium partner deploying containerized Niagara at the network edge — removing wired connectivity in greenfield and brownfield deployments.

Using the Veea Edge Platform™, Tecno Buildings has deployed a pilot program that is revolutionizing the way internet of things (IoT) data is collected in an urban mass transit system. Tecno Buildings has installed VeeaHubs® with CPN at select stations throughout a major urban subway network in Latin America to wirelessly monitor and gather systems data.

“The Veea Edge Platform is living up to its stellar reputation for flexibility and ease of deployment in edge-based functionality,” said Alfredo Melnik, 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.”

“We couldn’t ask for a better strategic partner in Latin America than Tecno Buildings, with their laser focus on smarter buildings and more sustainable construction,” said Allen Salmasi, chairman and CEO of Veea. “It’s exciting to see our Veea Edge Platform demonstrate the world’s first-ever transit system use case for Containerized Portable Niagara. Veea with CPN has the potential for enabling transformative solutions for a variety of edge use cases in all types of environments requiring reliable monitoring and control of the infrastructure with more options for network connectivity, onsite and remote management, streamlined predictive maintenance and improved energy consumption.”
