In the architecture of a smart building, the controller is more than hardware, it’s the central nervous system. 

Processing vast streams of data, connecting disparate technologies, and operating with rock-solid security, you need a controller that can handle it all.  
 
The IONA Niagara 4 Controller is engineered to be precisely that: the definitive intelligence for buildings that demand performance, resilience and future-ready integration. 

Designed to handle complexity 

 
At its core, IONA is driven by an Intel^® Elkhart Lake Dual Core Processor, delivering the computational strength required for today’s most demanding building automation and industrial IoT tasks. 

This isn’t simply about speed; it’s about the stability to handle real-time analytics, and the power to seamlessly orchestrate complex systems. With 24 points of onboard I/O, dual Ethernet, and RS485 ports, IONA offers unparalleled local connectivity and the flexibility to integrate seamlessly into any network. 

Unified connectivity, simplified architecture 

 
IONA redefines system integration. The IONA-I features an integrated LoRa Gateway and Network Server, enabling secure, long-range, low-power communication with hundreds of wireless sensors. 

This native LoRaWAN capability, combined with built-in tools like an MQTT broker, consolidates your IoT landscape into a single, powerful hub. The result? A dramatic simplification of your architecture, a reduction in installation costs, and a scalable path for continuous expansion. 

The enterprise standard: cybersecurity you can trust 

 With the introduction of Red Hat, the IONA controller achieves a new benchmark for operational technology. By standardising on the factory-loaded, certified Red Hat Enterprise Linux, IONA delivers out-of-the-box enterprise-grade security and stability. 

It brings critical IT rigour to the BMS, featuring automatic, over-the-air updates that protect your system against emerging threats without manual intervention. This transforms the controller from a facility device into a trusted, manageable node on the network. 

IONA is a powerful, flexible controller is an understatement. It’s all that, but it’s also enables you to consolidate legacy systems and innovate with new IoT deployments, all within a secure, scalable framework.
