ProtoAir Gateway

ProtoAir Gateway is a versatile, multi-protocol communications gateway designed to seamlessly integrate with building control and energy management systems. It is compatible with all AERCO boilers, water heaters*, and electronically controlled indirect systems, and it is ideal for a wide range of settings, including commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and institutional environments. 

ProtoAir Gateway can support optimized energy usage and reduce costs. It offers real-time performance monitoring and remote access capabilities for proactive maintenance and minimal downtime. Additionally, its seamless integration with an existing BAS simplifies upgrades and enhances overall system performance.
