The Next Evolution: WEBs N5 (Niagara 5)

WEBs N5 builds on the proven Niagara Framework™, taking the next major leap forward with a modern, future-ready platform. Powered by the latest technologies, Niagara 5 delivers enhanced performance, expanded capabilities, superior security, and seamless integration to give your buildings tomorrow’s intelligence—today and for years to come.

Specs

  • Modern HTML5+ Interface — Delivers a cleaner, more responsive, and intuitive user experience with new navigation, layouts, and themes (including light/dark modes) for maximum control and usability from any device.
  • Niagara 5 Supervisor — Centrally integrates networks of JACE, CIPer, Niagara Edge, and other controllers with real-time data synchronization, advanced supervisory functions, and enterprise-level oversight.
  • Software Maintenance Agreement (SMA) — Essential for ongoing updates, access to new major releases, and long-term support as the platform evolves.
  • Centralized System Management — Streamlined oversight of multi-site or enterprise-scale deployments with powerful tagging, searching, and visualization tools.
  • Enterprise Integration — Seamlessly connect your BAS to work order systems, analytics platforms, external databases, ERP, and other business applications.
  • Advanced Analytics & AI Readiness — Enhanced built-in analytics with improved data processing, mathematical/functional blocks, and foundations for AI-driven insights, diagnostics, and optimization.
  • Superior Performance — Built on Java 25 for faster execution, better resource utilization, quicker station loads, and support for more demanding applications.

Enhanced Security

Niagara 5 raises the bar with modern security architecture. This includes signed modules (only digitally signed code can run), stronger encryption, improved authentication, role-based access control (RBAC), comprehensive auditing, and overall cyber resilience designed for today’s threat landscape.

Mixed-Version & Simple Migration

Niagara 5 supports mixed-version environments, allowing a N5 Supervisor to work with existing AX, N4, and N5 field stations. Migration tools and documentation will assist with upgrades (JACE-9000 is positioned as the key hardware platform for N5). Developers get early access for module refactoring.

Data Visualization & Usability

Enjoy powerful system-wide search, drag-and-drop customization, dynamic dashboards, and flexible charting. Niagara 5 makes it even easier to visualize, analyze, and act on building data without constant redevelopment.

Faster & More Effective Development

Niagara 5 offers improved APIs, updated scripting/tools, better documentation, semantic modeling enhancements, and a more extensible framework. This accelerates custom development, integration, and solution scaling for developers and OEMs.

The available substitute: WEBs N4

WEBs N4, a genuinely open framework, aids companies in fully utilizing the Internet of Things. The most recent version, WEBs 4.11, has a ton of new capabilities to help you as you shift more control and administration responsibilities to smart edge devices.

Specs

  • All Niagara4 software uses HTML 5 to provide an interface with powerful features and a simplifier more robust user experience that gives you maximum control
  • A Niagara4 Supervisor can be used to integrate several JACE or CIPer controllers into one front end with instantaneous updating between field controller and graphical user interface
  • Purchase a SMA (Software Maintenance Agreement) to keep all licensing up to date and stay update on all major system release through the life of the SMA
  • Centralized system management
  • Integrate BAS to other enterprise applications
  • Integrate to other applications, such as work order management, analytics, etc
  • Robust built-in analytic capabilities supported by standard Niagara components and visualizations
  • Includes Niagara analytics, adding data source, functional, and mathematical programming blocks to enable sophisticated analytic algorithms

Enhanced Security

Strong credentials and encrypted data are both necessary for better authentication. User permissions are simple to set up and less prone to error because to "role-based access control" (RBAC). The security log keeps track of every user action and security-related occurrence.

Simple Conversion

Between Niagara AX and Niagara 4 software systems, the native Niagara Fox protocol will function, and Niagara 4 software will function with any WEB-8000 controller currently on the market. Niagara AX stations are converted to Niagara 4 stations using a station-conversion tool.

Data that is beneficial to you

Simple system-wide search functionality. With a few clicks and a simple drag and drop, personalize charts. There is no need to design new dashboards every time the needs alter.

More rapid and effective development

Improved documentation, a robust open API library, BajaScript 2.0, semantic data modeling via tags, and other pre-made tools that facilitate and speed up development are available to developers. The framework is simpler to develop, expand, and build upon thanks to new features and open APIs.
