Designed to handle the world's most demanding projects, Athena’s cloud connection elevates this powerful system to provide simplified building management in a single platform.
The Athena Wireless Nodes offer significant space savings by eliminating the need for complex wiring back to control panels; instead, zoning is handled through software, reducing materials and simplifying installation.
Athena’s automated shades move in sync with natural light, making subtle, real-time changes that reduce glare, manage heat, and preserve outdoor views.
