Digital Building Solutions and Sigma Byte Computers Form Global Smart Building Alliance

In a move set to reshape the global smart building landscape, New York-based Digital Building Solutions LLC (DBS) and Mumbai-based Sigma Byte Computers Private Limited have announced a strategic partnership. This collaboration merges DBS's extensive experience in smart building infrastructure with Sigma Byte's widespread presence across India, creating a powerhouse in the intelligent building sector.

The partnership comes at a crucial time when the demand for smart building technologies is surging worldwide. With billions of square feet of real estate under consideration for redevelopment and enhancement using low-voltage, data-driven solutions, this alliance positions DBS and Sigma Byte at the forefront of the industry. Their combined expertise offers developers, owners, and occupiers of real estate access to one of the most experienced teams in the field, regardless of asset class or location.

DBS brings to the table nearly a decade of expertise and a portfolio of over 4 million square feet of completed projects globally. Their specialization lies in capturing occupancy and environmental data, enhancing health-focused user experiences, reducing energy consumption, and future-proofing real estate through low-voltage platforms. This expertise is now complemented by Sigma Byte's extensive team spread across multiple Indian cities, boasting over 20 million square feet of completed projects.

A key advantage of this partnership is the ability to leverage time zone differences, enabling 24-hour turnaround times for critical engineering work for U.S.-based clients. This round-the-clock capability is expected to significantly accelerate project timelines and enhance responsiveness to client needs. Moreover, Sigma Byte will now handle APJC (Asia Pacific, Japan, and China) regional work through this partnership, expanding the global reach of both companies.

The alliance also strengthens the companies' positions as established partners of major brands in the smart building industry, including Cisco, Molex, MHT Inspextor, Mecho, Somfy, and Teknion. This network of partnerships enhances their ability to deliver advanced low voltage solutions for smart buildings on a global scale.

The implications of this partnership extend beyond the immediate benefits to the two companies. As urban areas worldwide grapple with the challenges of sustainability, energy efficiency, and occupant well-being, the smart building sector plays an increasingly critical role. The combined expertise of DBS and Sigma Byte in delivering integrated, scalable Power over Ethernet (PoE) smart building systems focused on sustainability and wellness aligns perfectly with these global trends.

For the real estate industry, this partnership signals a new era of possibilities in smart building implementation. The ability to offer comprehensive services from consultation and design to construction, commissioning, and ongoing support for low voltage systems in intelligent buildings provides a one-stop solution for complex projects. This integrated approach is likely to streamline processes, reduce costs, and accelerate the adoption of smart technologies in buildings across various sectors.

As cities and corporations increasingly prioritize digital transformation and sustainable development, the DBS-Sigma Byte partnership is poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of urban environments. Their combined capabilities in areas such as occupancy tracking, environmental monitoring, and energy management are essential tools in creating more efficient, healthier, and more sustainable buildings.

The global reach of this partnership also highlights the increasing internationalization of the smart building industry. By bridging expertise between North America and Asia, DBS and Sigma Byte are setting a new standard for global collaboration in technological innovation and implementation.
