ATLANTA, Feb. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- BACnet International announced the launch of the BACnet Remote Interoperability Test Environment (BRITE). BRITE provides a confidential, supplier-independent environment for remote interoperability testing of BACnet devices. The focus of BRITE is BACnet Secure Connect (BACnet/SC) product interoperability testing and it utilizes BACnet/SC to achieve secure connections over the Internet.
"We are proud to be able to assist BACnet manufactures in ramping up their BACnet/SC capabilities," stated Andy McMillan, president and managing director of BACnet International. "BRITE is a great solution as it's the only vendor independent platform that allows cooperating suppliers to evaluate the interoperability of their BACnet devices without physical co-location.
BRITE is built around a collection of cloud based BACnet/SC hubs along with interoperability support and diagnostic tools. Test sessions typically involve two suppliers and are arranged through BACnet International. Each session is private, only allowing access to the specific suppliers participating in that test session.
Suppliers can currently subscribe to the program, enroll their devices, and begin scheduling test sessions. Live test sessions will start on Monday, March 8, 2021.
Participation in the BRITE program is free for BACnet International corporate members throughout 2021.
