Security - Air-Gap

Air-Gap or Air-Wall is a security measure that isolates a network from other devices and networks, including public internet. The strategy of using air-gaps or disconnected networks to protect critical data is also known as security by isolation.

BubblyNet uses the most advanced Bluetooth Mesh SIG standard which does not require WiFi hubs to interconnect smaller network sections as most wireless systems do. A BubblyNet network can be set up as a 100% stand alone system with no connection to the building system or the data system and so the potential intruder will not be able to access sensitive information through the lighting control system.

Size

A single BubblyNet air-gap network can be as large as 8,000 devices and about 1million sq.ft. Larger air-gap networks can be set-up using BubblyNet local gateways (not requiring internet or Wifi) acting as bridge nodes between multiple networks.

Applications

BubblyNet networks have been used in governmental, aviation and industrial classified project as the system grants an additional layer of security when operated as a disconnected network.
