Catch up on watch our conversation with SkyCentrics about modernizing commercial buildings without ripping out existing infrastructure.

Less than 2% of commercial buildings are connected to the internet. After 60 years of proprietary systems, building owners are desperate for remote visibility and modern technology without expensive infrastructure replacements.

In this fireside chat, Jim Hassman, President and CRO at Blues, sits down with SkyCentrics founder Tristan de Frondeville to discuss how they're cracking open the commercial building market with a solution that's 10x less expensive and 10x more functional than legacy alternatives.

What You'll Learn:

• "Plug and Play" vs. "Rip and Replace": How SkyCentrics' $500 Skybox connects to legacy protocols (Modbus, BACnet, LON) without infrastructure upgrades. See live product demonstrations of the hardware connecting solar, batteries, HVAC, and building management systems.
• AI for Building Intelligence: SkyCentrics' two-layer AI approach: natural language query for instant answers from engineering documents and live data, plus supervisory control that orchestrates building operations across all systems.
• Channel Strategy for Scale: How SkyCentrics scales through Master System Integrators, engineering firms, and MEP contractors rather than direct sales, rolling out to billions of square feet.
• Why Low-Cost Cellular Connectivity Matters: Why Blues' flexible cellular connectivity was critical to the $500 price point. "Blues is an amazing partner," Tristan shares. "They are incredibly helpful to get your project off the ground."
• Real-World Technical Q&A — Practical answers about cybersecurity, multi-tenant data boundaries, battery life, BAS integration, and whether legacy protocols will ever be replaced.
