Advanced Connectivity
Legacy, modern, awkward? Connected.
Attain Edge connects the building technologies already there—from older BMS and control environments to modern IoT, meters, sensors and external operational tools—through the route that makes sense for the site.
Your building does not need another compatibility problem.
Most sites contain systems from different manufacturers, generations and technical eras. Some provide clean APIs. Some speak established protocols. Some need a gateway. Some need a little more persuasion.
Attain works with that reality instead of making wholesale replacement the price of admission.
The result is a genuine retrofit path for existing and legacy buildings: keep the infrastructure that remains useful, connect what can be reached and add only the technical intervention needed to make the whole environment usable.
While competing systems connect within limits, Attain can connect to everything. Built on open protocols, Attain Edge connects legacy systems, integrates next-gen IoT, eliminates data silos, creates a unified building intelligence layer, and future-proofs infrastructure investments.

Keep what still works
Retain functioning BMS, controls, plant and field equipment where they remain suitable.
Bridge the difficult parts
Use existing protocols and interfaces where possible, then introduce targeted gateways, integration work or additional sensing where the building genuinely needs them.
Old systems, new context
Translate, map and validate legacy data into the same Unified Data Layer as newer systems and external tools.
Unlock what comes next
Use the connected foundation for live monitoring, diagnostics, reporting, Smart Logic, the Attain App and ActiveTrim optimisation.
Connect every useful signal.
Legacy BMS and control systems
Connect suitable older and existing building-management and control environments without making replacement the default.
HVAC and MEP
Bring heating, cooling, ventilation, central plant and other mechanical systems into the same operational picture.
Lighting, meters and sensors
Connect the devices that reveal how energy, equipment and spaces are behaving in real time.
Modern technology around legacy infrastructure
Integrate suitable IoT and connected devices alongside older systems, extending capability without pretending the whole building was installed yesterday.
CAFM, ticketing and external tools
Retrieve relevant asset, maintenance, work-order, workplace and operational information through available APIs and approved interfaces.
Pre-enabled buildings and remote sources
Bring suitable data from existing platforms and remote environments into Attain without forcing every site through one fixed deployment pattern.
Retrofit without the rip-and-replace.
The right connectivity architecture depends on the site, especially when the building has evolved across several technical generations.
Existing interfaces first
Use available APIs, protocols and system interfaces where they provide a reliable route.
Targeted hardware where needed
Introduce gateways, sensors or other building-side hardware only when the building genuinely requires them.
Open and maintainable
Use open and standardised methods wherever suitable so information does not disappear into another proprietary silo.
What connectivity unlocks
Connection changes what the building can do. Once systems, devices and operational tools share one usable building model, teams can understand performance as it happens, act with better context and extend existing infrastructure into capabilities it was never originally designed to support.

Services
Delivered through Specialist Technical Services
Attain specialists assess the site, scope interfaces, configure integrations, map and validate data, and commission the connected foundation before the wider technology relies on it.
