MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – 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 utilize EdgeFrontier products to create dynamic applications for safety and security, energy and utility management, asset tracking and other business functions.
