Compania frogblue
frogblue oferă soluții inteligente pentru clădiri bazate pe propria rețea mesh frogblue Bluetooth®, realizate 100 la sută în Germania, la cel mai înalt standard de calitate. Sistemul se bazează pe module de control inteligente, „broaștele” (frogs), care se instalează direct în dozele îngropate, în spatele întrerupătorului, la ieșirea pentru lampă, în tabloul de distribuție sau în tavanul suspendat. Soluția modulară se instalează rapid, poate fi extinsă oricând și este eficientă energetic. Nu sunt necesare nici trasee de cabluri, nici instalații IT, tablouri sau stații centrale. frogblue este potrivit atât pentru modernizări, cât și pentru clădiri noi, de la un singur apartament până la clădiri de birouri. Compania cu sediul în Kaiserslautern este certificată VDE, membră a ZVEI, ZVEH, a inițiativei economice Smart Living și a SmartHome Initiative Germany, precum și a German Design Council. Fondatorul și CEO-ul, Dr. Ralf Hinkel, are peste 30 de ani de experiență în industria electronică și a fondat deja cu succes mai multe companii high-tech.
