  • Wireless Controls and Mesh Networking with Joe Auteri of Synapse Wireless
    Feb 24 2023

    Joe Auteri is challenging the notion that wireless technology is unreliable and competing with industry standards.

    Joe is the Regional Sales Director for Synapse Wireless' Lighting Management Services and the Global Manager for their Core IoT product. He has 30 years of experience in technical sales and has been with Synapse Wireless for the past 10 years.

    "The knock in the early days was everybody had a wireless product for lighting controls, but the reliability was terrible. So we started with the hard part, the wireless network, and then built software support around that to give more functionality."

    With their patented Snap OS platform, they have been able to gain brand recognition, win battles, and help their customers with their lighting and controls needs. Joe's team is proud of their FPO and Industry 40 initiatives, which allows customers to monitor and control their facilities, save on energy bills, and use the power of machine learning. Joe and his team are dedicated to providing the best products and services to their customers and have been successful in doing so.

    In this episode, you will learn the following:

    1. Using Zigbee technology to develop a mobile platform for wireless mesh networking
    2. What have been Synapse's biggest successes in the lighting controls industry?
    3. How you can use mesh network technology to develop applications for industrial IoT?
