MILWAUKEE, March 31, 2025 – Johnson Controls (NYSE: JCI), the global leader for smart, healthy and sustainable buildings, today announced the launch of IQ Panel 5. Powered by a Qualcomm® DragonWing™ processor, the IQ Panel 5 preserves the features of the IQ Panel 4 that end users know and love while delivering a new powerful platform of the future.
The IQ Panel 5 will be on display at ISC West 2025 in Las Vegas, Nevada from March 31-April 4 (Booth 18033) for attendees to experience firsthand.
“Dealers and installers have trusted Johnson Controls for over 15 years to be accessible as their needs change and to refine products in direct response to their feedback,” said Faisal Pandit, president, Controls and Security Systems at Johnson Controls. “The intuitive IQ Panel 5 packs all of their most requested enhancements into one secure, next-generation panel that will ultimately drive faster and more accurate installations, more scalable businesses and improved overall security.”
“Ongoing collaborations with true industry movers like Johnson Controls are a powerful forcing function for innovation in the underlying hardware and software components that power these platforms,” said Erick Hong, senior director, business development and head of smart home at Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “We are proud to collaborate once again to deliver a cutting-edge panel powered by Qualcomm Technologies’ solutions.”
The IQ Panel 5 runs on the latest Android 14 OS, Bluetooth 5.0 + LE and LTE. The IQ Panel 5’s software will be regularly updated over time to introduce new functionalities such as AI features and smart device integrations following a software release roadmap informed by Voice of the Customer insights. Further improvements include:
- Foundations for the future: PowerG +, the next generation of trusted PowerG wireless technology, is embedded into every IQ Panel 5. Together, these provide the most powerful frontline in residential and commercial security today and tightly integrate with the larger home automation ecosystem.
- Upgrades with impact: The IQ Panel 5 offers a game-changing “modular design,” simplifying the process for technicians to complete new installations and takeovers. They only need to stock one panel and carry select daughter card modules for different frequencies (S-Line 319.5, 345 and 433), significantly limiting their SKUs, and in turn, reducing their costs.
- Refined style: With an elegant touchscreen, new 13-megapixel PortraitView camera (an evolution from the 8MP FlexTilt camera of the IQ Panel 4), improved mounting options, glass-break detector and an adjustable desk stand design, the IQ Panel 5 is aesthetic and functional in any space.
- Seamless installation and scalability: With a refreshed industrial design, IQ Panel 5 includes a logical redesign of the power supply, tamper and backplate for smoother installations and improved performance. Future enhancements to the panel’s UI such as a search feature will make it even more convenient and customizable, allowing users to easily manage and discover its wide range of features.
