Podjetje frogblue
frogblue ponuja pametne rešitve za stavbe, ki temeljijo na lastnem omrežju frogblue Bluetooth® mesh in so 100-odstotno izdelane v Nemčiji z najvišjim standardom kakovosti. Sistem temelji na inteligentnih krmilnih modulih, frogih, ki se namestijo neposredno v podometne doze za stikalom za luč, izpustom za svetilko, razdelilno dozo ali spuščenim stropom. Modularna rešitev se namesti hitro, jo je mogoče kadar koli razširiti in je energetsko učinkovita. Napeljava kablov, IT-instalacije, razdelilne omare ali centralne postaje niso potrebne. frogblue je primeren tako za naknadno vgradnjo kot za nove stavbe, od posameznega stanovanja do poslovnih stavb. Podjetje s sedežem v Kaiserslauternu je certificirano po VDE ter je član ZVEI, ZVEH, gospodarske pobude Smart Living in pobude SmartHome Initiative Germany ter nemškega sveta za oblikovanje (German Design Council).
