to Your Fixtures —
Without Building a Platform
THE CHALLENGE
Controls capability is now table stakes. Building it yourself is not the answer.
Energy codes, smart building mandates, and owner demands are making wireless controls a baseline expectation. Most fixture manufacturers face three bad options.
Build In-House
2–4 year development cycle, $1M+ investment, and specialized engineering talent that most Tier 2 firms don’t have.
License from a Tier 1 Vendor
Expensive, inflexible, and creates permanent dependency on a competitor’s proprietary ecosystem.
Use Generic Components
No platform support, no upgrade path, fragmented protocols, and increasing IP risk from legacy connector standards.
THE FOURTH OPTION
One port. Endless possibilities.
MeshConnect is a production-ready, patent-backed, USB-C controls ecosystem — ready for your fixtures today.
USB-C Plug-and-Play
Patented connector supports both power and high-speed data in one compact, reversible form factor. Sensors install in under 30 seconds — no electrician required.
Protocol-Agnostic
Works with BLE Mesh, Bluetooth NLC, Sub-GHz, DALI-2, and proprietary wireless. Integrates with the BMS platforms your customers already use.
Scales from Basic to Enterprise
Standalone occupancy sensing up to full networked controls with remote access, energy monitoring, dashboards, and API integration.
Your Fixture, Your Brand
You keep full ownership of your product, your customers, and your distribution. MeshConnect provides the technology layer — not competition.
Future-Ready Architecture
USB-C supports firmware updates, mesh networking, and IoT use cases well beyond lighting — without changing ports.
HOW IT WORKS
