Lynxspring was one of Tridium’s very first partners (1997) and one of the original earlier adopters of the Niagara Framework technology. Lynxspring was also one of the first companies to extend the value of the software platform by developing on it. Today, we have a powerful ecosystem of related applications, modules, bridges and gateways that are supported and complementary with Niagara. Furthermore, we provide a comprehensive library of drivers, analytics, visualization and energy management tools that further enhances the service capability and value of the technology.

Lynxspring supports and develops Niagara 4 and is also a certified and authorized Niagara training partner. We offer Niagara Certification training at our state-of-the-art training facility in Lee’s Summit, Missouri, as well as on-site at customer locations.
