Tyrrell Products Ltd
Platform overview
2026
Cloud-to-edge operations
One platform fromcloud to building edge
IonaSphere gives teams a managed path into live buildings — deploy software remotely, monitor estates, and support customers without rebuilding infrastructure for every site.
BMS companies
Standardise delivery and remote support across customer portfolios.
Software providers
Reach live buildings with a platform layer, not a hardware programme.
Trusted by leaders in building technology
Cloud-to-edge architecture
How IonaSphere connects cloud, apps, and the building edge
Deploy from the cloud, run applications on connected controllers, and reach BACnet, Modbus, LoRaWAN, and IO through one managed operational layer.
Protocols & integrations at the edge
Why it matters
Turn building software into live impact
Most teams can build great applications. The hard part is operating them reliably across real buildings. IonaSphere closes that gap with cloud-to-edge workflows your teams can repeat.
Operate from one cloud platform
Fleet visibility, deployments, telemetry, and support in a single operational layer.
Reach the edge without friction
Connect sites and devices into the same estate model — whether Tyrrell edge hardware or compatible field equipment.
Deploy and update remotely
Roll out application changes, schedule releases, and roll back safely without coordinating site visits.
Support estates at scale
Prioritise health, alarms, and performance across customers, regions, and tenant boundaries.
Built for two kinds of teams
Built for BMS companies and software providers
BMS companies
Standardise how you deliver, support, and grow across customer buildings.
- One platform for fleet, deployment, and diagnostics
- Multi-tenant estate management
- Fewer truck rolls and faster rollouts
- Repeatable workflows across integrator teams
Software providers
Bring applications to live buildings through a managed cloud-to-edge surface.
- Go to market without owning edge infrastructure
- Publish partner apps into the IonaSphere marketplace
- API-first deployment and live-site monitoring
- Focus on software, not field logistics
How it works
From first connection to estate-wide operations
Connect your estate
Onboard sites and edge endpoints into one organisation view.
Choose from the marketplace
Browse the app catalog, pick the right building software, and prepare rollout across your estate.
Deploy to the edge
Install and update applications remotely — individually or across controller groups.
Monitor & support
Track telemetry, health, and alarms with deployment context at portfolio scale.
Use cases
Deployment instances for live buildings
Concrete cloud-to-edge patterns teams can repeat — from first container deploy to estate-wide monitoring.
Software providers
Reach live buildings without your own hardware
Your containerized app runs on IONA. If it cannot address legacy systems directly, protocol containers run in parallel. VPN, 4G, LoRaWAN, and central monitoring — all in one device.
Multi-container architecture
Your app and protocol drivers run side by side
Your container runs on IONA. When it does not connect to legacy systems directly, side-car containers take over protocol translation.
- BACnet, Modbus, and RS485 available as side-car containers
- No customization of your application required
Legacy protocol bridging
Connection to existing systems
BACnet, Modbus, RS485, and LoRaWAN run as side-car containers right next to your app on the controller.
VPN and connectivity
Secure remote access included
Tailscale VPN runs as a containerized app on the controller, with 4G cellular and dual Ethernet for reliable site access.
Consolidation
Replaces external VPN box
One DIN-rail device instead of several: controller, VPN, IoT gateway, and protocol bridge — fully integrated.
Remote monitoring
IonaSphere monitoring without site visits
Container status, telemetry dashboards, alarms, and remote deployment — managed from anywhere through IonaSphere.
IonaSphere platform
Everything you need to run live building estates
Turn connected sites into a manageable estate — deploy software, monitor health, coordinate support, and grow customer portfolios from one platform.
Fleet management
See every site in one view
Discover and manage connected sites and devices across customer estates.
Remote deployments
Ship updates without site visits
Deploy, schedule, and roll back apps across your connected estate.
Telemetry dashboards
Act on live performance data
Visualise trends and KPIs in real time for operations and engineering teams.
Alarms & health
Catch issues before customers do
Prioritise faults with health, alerting, and deployment context.
App lifecycle
Control releases with confidence
Version, approve, and manage application releases across environments.
Estate overview
Operate many tenants cleanly
Multi-tenant visibility across customers, regions, and service teams.
IonaSphere Marketplace
Discover, license, and deploy building software
A curated app catalog built for live buildings — browse proven tools, understand licensing, and roll out to connected sites without reinventing packaging for every project.
- Standard app bundle for common building-stack tools
- Partner apps with organisation licensing and renewals
- Version-aware installs with controlled rollback
- Category filters so teams find the right app faster
Curated catalog
Search by category, version, and use case — databases, frameworks, observability, BMS tooling, and more.
Remote rollout
Install and update marketplace apps across selected controllers or entire estate groups from the cloud.
Partner-ready
Software vendors publish licensed offerings while integrators standardise delivery from one shared catalog.

Edge connectivity
Cloud intelligence, building-side execution

- Managed deployment surface from cloud to building edge
- Support for Tyrrell edge hardware and compatible field devices
- Standard building protocols and APIs at the edge
- One operational experience across your estate
