Upgrading to Niagara 5 is not only about choosing the latest software. It is also an opportunity to consider whether your building controller has the performance, flexibility and capacity needed for the future.

As smart building systems become more demanding, controllers are expected to manage more applications, integrations and connected devices than ever before.

The demands are growing, but hardware does not automatically grow with them. Some controllers may already be operating closer to their limits than people realise.

If you are upgrading from a JACE 8000 to support Niagara 5, there has never been a better time to make the move to IONA.

Ready for Niagara 5

IONA is designed to support Tridium Niagara 5 while providing the performance capabilities needed for modern smart building projects.

It can run numerous smart building applications at the edge alongside Niagara, or operate the individual applications required for your project.

This gives system integrators greater flexibility and provides building owners with a controller designed to support both current requirements and future opportunities.

Rather than selecting hardware that may only meet today’s needs, IONA gives you the additional strength and headroom to prepare for what comes next.

Is Your Controller Carrying the Load?

Controllers are now being asked to do more than ever before.

As additional applications, devices and integrations are introduced, the pressure placed on controller hardware continues to increase.

Hardware that is already approaching its limits may not provide the capacity needed to confidently support future building requirements.

IONA was built with the performance and headroom to handle today’s projects and tomorrow’s demands.

Because when the future arrives, you do not want hardware that is already struggling.

Run Multiple Applications at the Edge

IONA provides the performance capabilities to run multiple smart building applications side by side at the edge.

This allows you to build a solution around the applications your project actually needs, whether they are running alongside Niagara or operating independently.

The result is a more flexible platform that can adapt as building requirements develop.

Integrated Connectivity and Control

IONA combines high-performance controller hardware with flexible connectivity options for smart building projects.

Key capabilities include:

• Ready for Niagara 5
• High-performance, future-ready hardware
• Integrated inputs and outputs
• Optional embedded LoRaWAN
• Optional embedded cellular connectivity
• Flexible software application support
• Capacity to run multiple applications at the edge

These capabilities give system integrators more options when designing connected building solutions and help prepare projects for future applications.

A Smarter Alternative to a Standard Controller Upgrade

Moving from a JACE 8000 to Niagara 5 is an important upgrade decision.

Instead of simply replacing one controller with another, IONA provides an opportunity to introduce additional performance, integrated connectivity and greater application flexibility.

It is designed to provide the strength required for today’s building systems while maintaining the headroom needed for future requirements.

Future-Proof Your Next Niagara Project

Smart building technology will continue to develop, and controllers will be expected to support increasingly demanding applications.

Choosing the right hardware now can help avoid installing a controller that may already be close to its limits.

IONA is designed for the future, providing the performance, flexibility and connectivity needed to support the next generation of smart building projects.
