Segmentation

Segmentation in BACnet refers to the process of breaking larger messages into smaller packets so they can be transmitted and processed by devices with limited memory, processing capability, or network constraints.

This mechanism ensures reliable communication across diverse device types and network conditions by allowing complex data exchanges to occur in manageable segments.

MultiTech accounts for segmentation requirements when bridging wireless IoT data into BACnet environments, ensuring that translated messages conform to BACnet communication limits and device capabilities.

By handling protocol translation and message management at the gateway, MultiTech enables LoRaWAN® sensor data to be delivered efficiently over BACnet/IP, supporting interoperability with a wide range of controllers and BMS platforms while maintaining predictable, standards-aligned communication behavior.
