# EdgeNodes in BuildingPro Suites

## Seamlessly and Efficiently Integrate Data into Your Smart Building Platform with BuildingPro Suites EdgeNodes

Our Smart Building platform offers innovative solutions to maximize the dynamics and efficiency of buildings. In addition to our own [→ Connectivity-as-a-Service](/collection/mandatory-base/platform-core/connect-hub/connectivity-as-a-service.md) offering, we are expanding our capabilities through the integration of two specialized EdgeNode types: BuildingPro Suites Power Edge and BuildingPro Suites Basic Edge.

## BuildingPro Suites Gateway Edge:

Simplicity and Efficiency For use cases that require a more straightforward approach, the BuildingPro Suites Basic Edge is the ideal choice. This EdgeNode focuses on the efficient transfer of data without implementing additional logic. Its simple connectivity makes it ideal for tenants that prioritize speed and user-friendliness. The BuildingPro Suites Basic Edge is perfect for customers who need cost-effective and reliable data integration into their Smart Building platform. By default, 500 data points are included, but the devices can be expanded almost indefinitely.

## BuildingPro Suites Control Edge:

The Flexible and Intelligent Solution The BuildingPro Suites Control Edge is designed specifically for more demanding applications. It offers not only logic and store-and-forward functions but also an advanced data and alarm transmission. Its outstanding capability lies in the creation of complex logic that can be executed autonomously on the EdgeNode. This enables deeper data analysis and faster response times directly on-site, which significantly improves the performance and responsiveness of your Smart Building system. By default, 500 data points are included, but the devices can be expanded almost indefinitely. The device can optionally be set up with hardware redundancy via the High Availability function.

***

Both EdgeNode types can be seamlessly integrated into our Smart Building platform, which enables a flexible and scalable solution for a wide variety of requirements. Whether you need advanced analysis functions or a simple, uncomplicated data transfer, our BuildingPro Suites EdgeNodes offer the ideal support to make your building smarter and more efficient.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.buildings.ability.abb/collection/academy/edge-nodes/edgenodes-in-abb-buildingpro.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
