For OEM Companies
The S4 Open Router product family from the S4 Group opens the opportunity for Building
Automation System providers to expand and extend the capabilities of existing Metasys®
N2 bus based systems. Legacy N2 buses can be merged into a virtual N2 bus, extended
across networks, or connected to open technology supervisory systems. Unitary controllers,
application specific controllers, and even complete 3rd party systems can be integrated
into Metasys. Talk to us about brand labeling our S4 Open appliance family or adding
custom features to your specifications.
VARs and Regional Distributors
The S4 Group is dedicated to providing a great value proposition for regional distributors
and value added resellers in the building automation space. The S4 Open appliances
create new BAS architectures that will trigger purchases from existing clients looking
to integrate the N2 bus into open BAS environments or those looking to segment and
upgrade components of their Metasys system with standards based components. We enable
you to move your clients into current generation solutions while retaining most
of their past investments in the Metasys platform.
