The Projects You Can Now Say Yes To — INNON® Announces TEKTELIC Partnership
There's a type of project most BMS integrators quietly avoid.
Not because they can't do the work.
Because they can't confidently answer the questions that come with it.
You know the ones.
"What's the hardware lifecycle on this?"
"Is this approved for a DfE-funded school?"
"What happens to your sensor data if the network drops?"
"Can your gateway handle 40cm concrete floors and a 4G mast on the roof?"
Those questions come from hospital procurement teams. School framework managers. Airport infrastructure leads. FM directors signing five-year service agreements.
And if you can't answer them without hesitating — the contract goes to someone who can.
This is why the INNON® and TEKTELIC partnership matters.
TEKTELIC builds carrier-grade LoRaWAN hardware. The same standard as telecom network infrastructure. Not consumer IoT. Not "good enough for a pilot."
Hardware with a 15–20 year MTBF target.
Sensors that keep recording locally if the network goes down.
Integrated cavity filters that block 4G/5G interference on urban sites.
And wired-power sensor options — which matters more than ever right now.
Because if you work on school projects, you already know: the DfE changed the rules. Battery-powered devices are no longer permitted under CF25 funding. Most LoRaWAN sensors on the market don't pass. TEKTELIC does.
What this opens up for you.
This isn't about adding a new SKU to your toolkit.
It's about the projects you can now walk into and say yes to.
Schools and education — CF25-compliant air quality monitoring. Wired-power sensors that meet DfE requirements. The conversation with the facilities manager just got a lot easier.
Hospitals and healthcare — HTM-grade environments where signal reliability and hardware longevity aren't nice-to-haves. Carrier-grade spec answers procurement questions before they're asked.
Listed and historic buildings — No cable runs. No penetrations. RF that punches through stone walls. The projects other integrators walk away from.
Long-term FM contracts — A client signing a five-year agreement wants to know the hardware will still be supported in year four. 15–20 year MTBF is the answer to that question.
Critical infrastructure — Airports, data centres, transport hubs. High-RF environments where standard LoRaWAN hardware fails and your credibility depends on what you specify.
INNON has already done the integration.
We've commissioned the KONA MICRO Gen2T with Niagara 4 ourselves. Mapped the BACnet points. Documented every step of the process.
When you buy TEKTELIC through INNON, you're not figuring it out from scratch on a live project. The path is proven. The questions you'll hit on site — we've already hit them.
And pre-sales support is free. If you're looking at a project and want to know if TEKTELIC is the right call before you commit to a spec — talk to us. That's what we're here for.
Ready for Anything® means being equipped for the projects that matter.
The full TEKTELIC range — gateways, sensors, and everything in between — is live now at INNON.
