The LED lighting systems manufacturer Redwood Systems has been bought by its low-voltage communication component provider CommScope.
CommScope's purchase of the US provider of lighting performance systems has been done with the objective of strengthening its position in intelligent building infrastructure solutions.
Redwood, which has offices in the UK and US, has developed a smart building platform that powers and controls lights with a high density sensor grid.
Its platform monitors energy usage, room occupancy, motion detection, temperature and can be deployed over CommScope's cabling infrastructure. CommScope said the deal would help its data center and intelligent building customers maximise their investment in cabling infrastructure and move towards more integrated building systems.
"Redwood Systems brings a legacy of pioneering systems and offerings that make commercial facilities more intelligent and efficient," said Dave Leonard, chief executive officer, Redwood Systems. "We share in the values, such as innovation, held by the people at CommScope and feel it is the best fit for us to leverage their global capabilities as a leader of intelligent infrastructure solutions."
