AUSTRALIA: Fujitsu General Australia has announced a strategic partnership with Western-Australia-based controls and IoT manufacturer Advantage Air to research, design and build OEM controllers.

The partnership allows both companies to collaboratively research and develop controls specifically for Fujitsu General under license for the term of the agreement.
