MORGANTOWN, WV -- Augusta Systems Inc., provider of technologies that power the intelligent convergence of devices, systems, and networks, announced the relaunch of the company's configurable technology platforms for building and managing complex monitoring, control, and automation solutions, including applications for safety and security, energy and utility management, asset tracking, and other business functions, under the EdgeFrontier product line. With the relaunch of the Augusta Systems core platform technologies, which included SensorBridge, SensorPort, and the existing EdgeFrontier software, all key company products have been updated and rebranded under the EdgeFrontier name.
"The relaunch of our core technologies under the EdgeFrontier product line delivers enterprises with multiple, related options from which to choose to meet needs for the intelligent convergence of devices, systems and networks," said Patrick Esposito, President and Chief Operating Officer of Augusta Systems. "This rebranding better reflects the full capabilities of the company products, which enable open, interoperable solutions, featuring data, events, and control functions from not only sensors but an endless array of devices and systems, leveraging the network infrastructure."
The award-winning EdgeFrontier products support integration and normalization of data, events, and control functions from diverse devices, systems, and networks, regardless of manufacturer or communications protocol, including sensors, wireless sensor networks, RFID systems, video devices and systems, access control systems, metering and measurement devices, actuators, databases and file repositories, and others. In addition, the products provide structures for event processing and configuration of event- or policy-based actions through a policy engine.
Leveraging these capabilities, EdgeFrontier products enable rapid creation of open, interoperable solutions, featuring distributed processing, control, and automation throughout the network infrastructure. With the power of EdgeFrontier products, enterprises can unlock new features, decrease solution development costs, improve operational efficiencies, and increase the return on investment for new and legacy devices, systems, and networks. Augusta Systems clients use EdgeFrontier products to create dynamic applications for safety and security, energy and utility management, asset tracking, and other business functions.
Each Augusta Systems product can be used independently from, or in conjunction with, other Augusta Systems products, depending on client requirements. The products include EdgeFrontier, EdgeFrontier Appliance, and EdgeFrontier Developer Edition.
EdgeFrontier is remotely configurable middleware that resides on routers, servers, and other computing systems, providing a complete middleware platform for intelligent convergence solutions.
EdgeFrontier Appliance, previously known as SensorPort, is a network appliance pre-installed with EdgeFrontier, providing a complete software and hardware platform for intelligent convergence solutions requiring remote network access and distributed processing capabilities.
EdgeFrontier Developer Edition, previously known as SensorBridge, delivers EdgeFrontier capabilities within a suite of components for the Microsoft Visual Studio integrated development environment, enabling engineers and developers with advanced requirements to create intelligent convergence solutions.
As part of the relaunch of the Augusta Systems products, the company also announces the release of EdgeFrontier 4.2, EdgeFrontier Appliance 4.2, and EdgeFrontier Developer Edition 4.2.
"With these updates, we continue to advance Augusta Systems products as the premier platforms for the intelligent convergence of devices, systems, and networks," Esposito said. "These updates include architectural enhancements that further extend the capabilities of EdgeFrontier, EdgeFrontier Appliance, and EdgeFrontier Developer Edition."
