PUBLIC STREET LIGHTING
PUBLIC STREET LIGHTING

Let’s make modern cities energy-efficient and safe!
Public street lighting is one of the most precious and expensive infrastructures owned by municipalities and utilities. Lighting costs account for approximately 20% of global electricity usage.
Obviously, it is connectivity that makes smart street lighting smart. Most legacy smart public lighting systems using PLC / Mesh communications suffer from latency, manageability and other issues. Cellular technologies, such as LTE, 5G, and NB-IoT are ideal for smart street light monitoring, control and management.
For basic smart lighting service, which generates small amounts of data, the best communication technologies are the two emerging cellular-based IoT standards, NarrowBand-IoT (NB-IoT) and Long-Term Evolution (LTE)-Cat-M1, which have been designed to implement Low-Power Wide-Area Networks (LPWANs).
Our devices are at the heart of flexible public lighting services, providing an internet-based bi-directional communication based on the Open Smart Grid Platform. They allow the automation of basic lighting controls such as switching on/off based on a programmable schedule, dimming, failure detection, and monitoring lamps status and consumption (e.g.: voltage, current and power factor).
LOAD MANAGEMENT
LOAD MANAGEMENT

Load management solutions have a vital role in the smart grid of the future. They allow us to use pre-defined control strategies to remotely optimize water heaters, electricity chargers, heat pumps, and HVAC systems during periods of high demand in order to balance resources. Effective load management strategies allow utilities to avoid black-outs and consumers to save on electricity bills.
Legacy load management systems provide only 1-way communication, which means there is no confirmation that the device has received the message and executed the instructions properly. While these systems did manage to optimize costs during peak demand and prevent outages, today’s advanced grid management tasks need bi-directional communication, almost real-time load data, high availability and reliability.
Using the latest cellular communication technologies, our products help automate load control management to allow better demand response for utilities and municipalities.

Today, the single biggest challenge solar companies face is analyzing data to improve operational efficiency. Key to this is reliable, always-on cellular connectivity, which is fully integrated into an IoT solar solution that enables total grid management.
In the case of solar plant deployments, cellular connectivity is the only truly reliable connectivity, offering unparalleled uptime and geographic coverage that other wireless connections can’t match. Two-way connections allow more sophisticated billing models and dynamic pricing.
The remote management of solar plants can be a real challenge for energy producers. The panels have to be connected to the grid, a complex network of communication devices, and platforms have to work in a stable and secure way. A real-time power monitoring system is necessary to know if the plant is producing enough energy and balancing the load on the grid.
A good IoT system in a solar plant allows operators to track important KPIs in one central control center.
Inverters are one of the most important equipment in solar plants as they play a crucial role in measurement and decision-making based on the information received. Smart inverters are connected to the cloud via bi-directional, ideally cellular-based communication, and are able to send and receive messages to central control centers. This allows for a significantly faster response and more efficient maintenance, resulting in cost savings.
