Conclusion
The airport deployments described here
represent some of the most demanding
conditions for a BACnet-integrated wireless
sensor network. The outcome is consistent
across building types, geographies, and
application domains: battery-free wireless
sensors, connected via open-standard gateways
into a BACnet backbone, deliver the flexibility and
reduced lifecycle cost that large infrastructure
requires. The maintenance burden stays flat as
sensor counts grow; the ability to extend and
reconfigure the system remains intact across
