Case Study: PLATEK Services Inc. achieves smart energy management in a Toronto high-rise with Lantronix

Platek Services Inc. reduces energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions with Lantronix

Platek Services Inc. faced the challenge of retrofitting a historic Toronto high-rise with a smart energy management platform. To meet the city's greenhouse gas reduction goals, they needed to control energy usage and costs by installing a new fiber-optic backbone network for each floor and integrating building systems, all while avoiding costly and time-consuming new AC electrical conduit installation.

Lantronix provided the solution with its Smart Managed Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ Switches and Network Interface Devices. This created a resilient fiber network that powers wireless access points via PoE+ and supports the energy management system. The results for Platek Services Inc. included a successful intelligent platform that reduces greenhouse gas emissions, controls energy costs, integrates tenant thermostats and an electronic door locking system, and significantly improves property owner satisfaction.
