Webinar - Interoperability & Open Standards: How It Improves Lighting Retrofits and Paybacks

Description

Interoperability in lighting is the notion that different devices—programmable LED drivers, sensors, emergency units—will work seamlessly together, one can simply ‘plug’ devices together and ‘play’ them. Interoperability offers numerous benefits, providing greater design and installation flexibility at the time of initial installation as well as in the future. In addition, this also offers greater customer choice.

This webinar features panelists from leading open standards organizations, including the DALI Alliance, Zhaga Consortium, and Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG), moderated by Stephen Zhou, EVP at mwConnect. The session will provide attendees with a basic understanding of the open standards underpinning the new interoperable capabilities of advanced lighting control systems, as well as the ROI and customer benefits available.

Moderator: Stephen Zhou, Executive Vice President, mwConnect

Speakers: Mark Duffy, General Assembly Chair, Zhaga Consortium

Carol Jones, Market Development Manager for North America, DALI Alliance

Henry Wong, Director Market Development, Bluetooth SIG
