Launch of MultiTech Niagara Driver
MultiTech Systems introduced the MultiTech Niagara Driver at the Tridium Niagara Summit on April 7-9, 2026. This software integration tool enables users to manage and add LoRaWAN sensors directly within the Tridium Niagara Framework. The Driver empowers building managers to utilize a single platform for both Building Management System (BMS) devices and IoT sensors securely.
With the Niagara Driver, building managers can streamline the deployment of LoRaWAN sensors. Traditionally, configuring these sensors required separate handling within the MultiTech gateway before integrating with Niagara. The Niagara Driver eliminates this redundant step and removes the need for middleware, custom APIs, or MQTT pipelines. It automatically delivers IoT sensor data to Niagara as normalized data points, ready for applications in control logic, alarming, scheduling, and analytics.
Matt Lubeley, Vice President of Sensor and Cloud Services at MultiTech Systems, emphasized the company’s commitment to secure IoT solutions for building management. He noted that the integration of IoT sensor networks and edge connectivity into the Niagara environment greatly simplifies the process, reduces costs, and enhances data accessibility.
The LoRa Alliance CEO, Alper Yegin, highlighted the importance of LoRaWAN as a secure and mature open standard, increasingly at the forefront of smart building initiatives. He views the MultiTech Niagara Driver as a pivotal innovation for boosting LoRaWAN deployments in the smart building sector.
At the Niagara Summit, attendees will be able to see live demonstrations showcasing the Driver’s user-friendly drag-and-drop onboarding process and unified dashboards. Following the event, the Niagara Driver will be available for complimentary download from the Tridium Marketplace, and interested parties can arrange demos or seek further information through MultiTech’s website.
