Zones
Top Executive: Firoz Lalji, CEO
Zones, a Cisco partner that specializes in vertical industries such as manufacturing and transportation, showed off its IoT expertise through a building automation project with client Transwestern and Metropolis Investment.
Auburn, Wash.-based Zones worked with the privately held real estate firm to install Cisco routers and switches, Cisco Aironet wireless access points and wireless control systems, and Cisco's video surveillance manager and physical access control manager technology into the building. The IoT solutions enabled the customer to monitor and manage air conditioning, lighting and other building systems from wireless tablets so it can adjust the schedule to automatically turn off lights, for example.
