Yanzi Networks Installation Manual – Smart Office 3 of 19
1. Introduction
Yanzi Networks delivers an end-to-end, horizontal, and all-IP software Internet of Things platform. We
offer sensors, gateways, and Cirrus, a cloud platform solution packaged into a Software as a Service
solution (SaaS) for Smart Building applications. The horizontal and all-IP approach provides a solution
that is fast, robust, and transformative.
1.1 Best Technology
All IP technology, all the way to the sensor, ensures powerful scaling to thousands of sensors and
excellent cost efficiency. Yanzi Networks focus on open standards and leverage the widely deployed
protocols such as 4G/LTE, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and the low power "brother" to Wi-Fi, IEEE 802.15.4, which
enables battery operated sensors to last for 10+ years.
1.2 Easiest to install
Automatic security provisioning provides best-in-class installation provided by the patent pending zero-
touch configuration. Sensor installation do not need trained installers but can leverage the employees on
site. The optimized power management deliver very long battery life which secure a minimum of
maintenance required once installed.
1.3 Enterprise security
Yanzi Networks combines ease of installation and maintenance with enterprise security. It is a highly
secure solution with all links in Cloud and to Gateway being authenticated with client and server
certificates and all communication is made using SSL encryption. All local communication, between the
sensors and the Gateway, is encrypted for both wired and wireless solutions. Each sensor has an
individual key and can be revoked remotely.
1.4 Cirrus Software as a Service
The Yanzi Cirrus Software as a Service provides Device and Gateway management at a new level. The
Cirrus data model allow access to any data originating from any location with a uniform interface without
the need to understand the sensor details. A secure Gateway-to-Cloud connector to multiple redundant
link servers provides reliable remote access to Gateway.
The Cirrus open API is a JSON over web socket API where all operations are authenticated. The API
supports both hot and cold data paths.
