Innovation at light + building Frankfurt 2016: the new inteliLIGHT® LoRa™ street lighting controller

The first lighting controller in the world built using the innovative LoRa ™ technology (Long Range RF) will be available for demonstrations at the light + building trade fair in Frankfurt, Germany (March 13th-18th, 2016) The first street lighting controller in the world based on the LoRa™ technology Street lighting smart management systems are rapidly evolving, developing and adopting new communication technologies and new features – as inteliLIGHT® has built the first luminaire controller using the LoRa ™ technology (Long Range radio communication). This development makes it easier, faster and more economical to install and operate a telemanagement system, even in large geographical areas and without pre-existing communication infrastructure. Besides the modern and attractive design, the new inteliLIGHT® LoRa™ controller is also extremely robust and provides unprecedented lamp-level functionality and intelligence, enabling individual remote management of any streetlight and making the entire system fail-proof, able to function independently, even in [...]

Potential widespread adoption of electric cars in the European Union

Budapest, 20th November 2015, Last week, we were invited to participate, exchange ideas and discuss best practices of European Electric Cars adoption process at the “New Way for Electromobility in the EU” conference in Budapest, together with senior officials of several Central and Eastern European counties (Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland and Romania) and representatives of major car manufacturers (Audi, BMW, Nissan, Renault, Tesla, Volkswagen). Considering that the lack of an effective and extensive EV charging infrastructure continues to be one of the most important obstacles to large scale adoption of electrical vehicles, FLASHNET’s vision of municipal EV charging networks, based on the already existing street lighting infrastructures and thus requiring minimal investment, generated once again a vivid interest. Of course, extensive charging availability is not the only issue impeaching large scale use of electric cars. The lack of efficient energy storage, plus the limited battery lifetime and the potential [...]

World’s first LoRa™ Street Lighting Control Solution, Released by Flashnet, facilitated by Actility

LoRa™ based street lighting solutions become a reality with the new inteliLIGHT® LoRa™ controllers which have been presented for the first time by Flashnet on Actility’s LoRaWAN network during the LoRa™ Alliance meeting in Paris. Paris, FRANCE - 22’nd of July, 2015 Actility, a founding member of the LoRa Alliance, announced a new addition to its fast-growing LoRaWAN-based IoT ecosystem.Following its earlier commitment to integrate the new LoRaWAN communication standard with its smart streetlight control system inteliLIGHT®, Flashnet has successfully presented and demonstrated the new inteliLIGHT® LoRa RF Controller. Streetlight control today is usually performed through a general switch, either activated manually, on a time-based schedule or on a daylight sensor. This allows very limited flexibility, as the entire system is either on or off. This also requires night-time checkup teams in order to discover lamp failures and any other grid malfunctions. This may not be that complicated in a [...]

LoRa™ technology to be integrated into FLASHNET’s street lighting management solution, inteliLIGHT®

Brasov, ROMANIA – March 15, 2015 FLASHNET, a European provider of solutions for smart utility management, has successfully integrated Semtech’s LoRa™ technology into its leading streetlight management solution and smart city platform, inteliLIGHT®. The communication between the lamp controllers and the monitoring units, previously performed through PLC (power line communication) or mesh RF, will be made via the latest long range, low power RF technology developed and patented by Semtech under the LoRa™ trademark. With inteliLIGHT®, FLASHNET has improved the streetlight management for millions of people living in tens of cities around the world. But the PLC technology was limited to structured power supply grids and the classic mesh RF communication alternative was restricted by its low range, significantly increasing the implementation costs. LoRa™ base stations are capable to manage up to 20,000 controllers in a range of up to 15 km, depending on the urban density. Its spread spectrum of [...]

inteliLIGHT® in Moscow – Interlight 2014

LED streetlights or an integrated remote management solution? Choose both improvements for more than energy efficiency, but an integrated smart city platform with endless benefits. We would like to thank everyone that visited our hi-tech booth in Moscow this year, testing and confirming our street lighting management solution’s functionality. Also, we must extend our gratitude towards the Romanian Embassy in Russia for their local support, and especially to the economic consul. The 4 days long marathon of this anniversary edition of Interlight Moscow has finished last Friday. 730 companies from 24 countries presented their current products and innovative solutions in Decorative and Technical Lighting, Electrical Engineering and Building Automation. The trade fair’s dimensions were impressive, featuring more than 50 specialized exhibit events spread over a total of more than 30 000 square meters. inteliLIGHT®, our large scale remote streetlight management system and smart city platform, stood out as one of [...]
