With Wave by AGC, we aim to empower smart cities with reliable and seamless connectivity solutions."
WAVE by AGC Solution Certification:
Not a checklist but a dynamic process to score the existence and use of technology to measure
Building Usage
How people use the building informs the decisions of what space, amenities, system automation, and adjustments are required to better serve the needs of the users. If the needs of the user can be more effectively met, improvement to performance and cost base can be more easily realized.
Building Performance
Visibility into a building’s performance from a system perspective but also amenities, and machine management, allows optimization of operations and elimination of unnecessary costs or waste. This theme looks towards optimization of investment, improved efficiencies, consumption, and a minimization of environmental impact.
Building Environment
The physical environment of the building has never been more important than it is now. Healthy environments and more importantly data proving that environments are healthy will increasingly be required by users, building owners, and even governments.
Health, Safety, and Security
Technology is the only way we know if buildings are compliant with health and safety standards and truly capable of keeping users safe. Safety is a basic human requirement that all other aspects are built upon.
User Behavior and Collaboration
Smart Buildings are intrinsically connected to their function and the people inside of them. This theme explores how the building empowers user behavior and collaboration, supporting the maximization of value and purpose of the space.
Integrative Design and Connectivity
How well are the solutions integrated with one another and the building? The least number of solutions for the maximum benefit. Elimination of department silos and seamless system integration. Smart building and business continuity is dependent on internet connectivity levels within the building. This section explores integrative design and connectivity in detail.
Key features of WAVE by AGC include:
WaveThru, a passive solution, utilizes laser technology to treat the surface of insulating double-glazing units, boosting indoor signal strength by up to 25dB without compromising thermal performance. This innovative approach ensures that occupants enjoy improved connectivity without sacrificing energy efficiency.
WaveAntenna introduces an aesthetic solution to network densification with transparent or printed glass antennas. By increasing network density while seamlessly integrating into building facades, WaveAntenna contributes to improved connectivity without detracting from architectural aesthetics.
Additionally, WaveTrap offers transparent shielding against electrosmog, providing protection against undesirable radio frequency signals and microwave radiation across various frequency ranges and application types. This solution addresses growing concerns about electromagnetic exposure in indoor environments.
As the recipient of the Solution Certification from the Smart Building Collective, WAVE by AGC continues to lead and contribute to the charge in driving innovation and excellence in the smart building industry. With its cutting-edge capabilities and unwavering commitment to sustainability and user-centric design, WAVE is poised to shape the future of the built environment for generations to come.
"AGC's Wave solutions represent a pivotal advancement in addressing the escalating challenges facing the built environment, particularly with the advent of 5G technology. As co-founder of the Smart Building Collective, I am inspired by AGC's commitment to revolutionizing connectivity in urban spaces. With 5G rapidly reshaping our digital landscape, Wave by AGC emerges as a beacon of innovation, offering dynamic glazing solutions that not only meet but exceed the demands of our increasingly connected world. This certification heralds a new era of smart buildings, where seamless connectivity is not just an aspiration but a tangible reality." - Nicholas White, Co-founder of the Smart Building Collective
