Wireless building automation redefined – meet W-BACnet and W-Modbus Compact!

In building automation, speed, flexibility and cost efficiency are becoming increasingly important — especially when it comes to upgrading existing facilities.Traditional cabling can often be cumbersome, time-consuming, or even impossible to implement — in such cases, wireless solutions offer an effective alternative.

For years, LumenRadio has been a pioneer in this field, recognized worldwide for reliable, interference-free and secure wireless communication technologies. Now, the product family expands with a new addition: introducing the Compact series, available in both W-BACnet and W-Modbus versions — delivering the same proven quality and performance in an even more compact design.

W-BACnet and W-Modbus –

built for true wireless freedom

LumenRadio's W-BACnet and W-Modbus product family is specifically designed to enable wireless networking in building automation systems, providing full functionality as a replacement for traditional BACnet MS/TP and Modbus RTU communication.

The systems create an interference-free, encrypted and self-contained network that operates independently from the building’s IT infrastructure — making them an ideal choice for retrofit projects and locations where cabling is difficult or impractical.

LumenRadio’s patented Cognitive Coexistence™ technology ensures stable and interference-free communication even in dense Wi-Fi, Zigbee, or Bluetooth environments.This innovation enables the W-BACnet and W-Modbus solutions to truly deliver on the promise of being „Wireless without worries”.

The Compact series – fast installation, compact design

The new Compact models represent the latest generation of the W-BACnet and W-Modbus product family.

They are specifically designed to meet the needs of space-saving and quick installations, making them ideal for flush mounting or installation inside distribution boxes.

Main features:

• Click-on mounting for even faster installation

• Compact size, easy to conceal on the wall or in flush-mounted installations

• Configuration without DIP switches – simple and intuitive commissioning

• Flexible power supply: 12 VDC / 24 VDC / 24 VAC

Both versions – W-BACnet Compact and W-Modbus Compact – use the same reliable communication platform and are fully compatible with controllers based on the respective protocol, allowing for seamless integration into existing networks.

The installation time can be reduced by up to 70% compared to traditional wired solutions, while the entire system remains flexible to expand and easy to maintain.

Why choose the Compact series?

During the development of the Compact range, LumenRadio specifically responded to the real needs of industry professionals:

• For Planners & Estimators: predictable, easily integrable solution

• For Installers: less cabling, faster execution

• For Integrators: simple configuration and troubleshooting

• For Operators: secure, stable, and highly scalable network

Wireless communication also minimizes construction risks—such as disturbing asbestos, mold, or other building structure issues—and reduces downtime even in retrofit environments.

✅ Summary

LumenRadio's W-BACnet and W-Modbus Compact series is the next milestone in wireless building automation. With its compact design, quick installation, and reliable performance, it opens up new possibilities in system design, expansion, and operation.

The Compact models are now available in the SmartNode product range. For more information or to place an order, please contact our team.
