description: Carrier Global is a Fortune 500 HVAC, refrigeration, fire, security, and building-automation
  company. Its digital ecosystem (Lynx Fleet, Abound, i-Vu, Carrier Comfort Network, Carrier SmartHome)
  exposes APIs to fleet operators, building owners, and integrators under product-license and partner
  agreements. Carrier does not publish standalone API pricing; access is bundled with the underlying
  hardware/SaaS subscription.
notes: No public API pricing exists. API access is included with the corresponding Carrier digital subscription
  (Lynx, Abound, i-Vu, etc.); reconcile against the customer's specific product agreement.
