Smart street lighting
By STMicroelectronics
Simply put, a smart street lighting system incorporates clusters of streetlight lamps that can communicate with each other and provide lighting data to a local concentrator. The concentrator manages and transmits the relevant data, often via a digital cell phone modem, to a secure server that captures the data and presents it in a web-browser interface.
But an extra layer of value is added: two-way communication. A smart street lighting system allows facility managers to remotely control street lights while keeping track of electrical power consumption in the lamps and in the driving circuits. For more, click here.
