01
Provide significant energy savings, as well as operational expenses such as shared maintenance charges for the lighting installation.
02
Provide improved level of illuminance for the city & improve the quality of the urban environment
03
2 905
Luminaires with SON lamps were replaced by LED 55 | 75 | 150 | 240 W. All of them are connected to the cloud lighting management platform.
LoRaWAN®
The network for connecting luminaires to cloud-based software
~ 55 %
Basic energy savings *
As a result of the luminaires replacement.
~ 65 %
Total savings due to cloud lighting management platform
The savings can be increased due to lighting schedules and scenarios usage.
~ 50%
Maintenance savings *
Maintenance costs can be dramatically decreased after business procesess optimization. This can be achieved with data analysis collected by cloud software platform.
80-100%
Improved level of illuminance for the city*
It helps to increase city life quality & prevent crimes.

This wireless technology for transmitting data in the unlicensed sub-gigahertz frequency range was not chosen by chance. It is one of the fastest growing in the world, and was developed specifically for the industrial Internet of Things applications.
According to the LoRa Alliance®, currently there are a large number of participants around the world, each of them is engaged in the development of devices and thereby contributes to the development of technology as a whole. Currently LoRaWAN® network is deployed in 143 countries around the world. About 133 IoT Operators in 58 countries provide network services to the customers. All this suggests that LoRaWAN® technology is sufficiently developed, and its use as a network for smart cities is relevant and very promising.

Project steps
01
Energy and city audit

Radio planning and IoT network set up
03
Luminaires replacement
04
System comissioning
As the first phase of the project a complex audit of street lighting was carried out. This option allows you to determine the quantity, type and exact model of LED luminaires that should be installed instead of existing.
During the audit process we had created an interactive map of the city, that allowed us to monitor the process of lighting reconstruction. This map had proven to be an effective tool during the commissioning step.

System comissioning
Radio planning is carried out to determine the optimal base station installation points for organizing a LoRaWAN® network.
This process is very important and can be done only with the appropriate equipment and competence. As a result, several base stations were installed and configured throughout the city to provide an effective LoRaWAN® network coverage.

System comissioning
On 28 central streets of the city (total 92.5 km) old luminaires were replaced by energy-efficient LED luminaires with proper optics.
For this project the lighting manufacturer has developed a brand new CR (Control Ready) luminaire modification. This modification is specifically designed and equipped for the installation of LoRaWAN® controllers that provide a connection to the ámbiot platform.

System comissioning
In order to simplify a comissioning process we have developed a mobile application. The app allows to scan a controller's QR code during installation process. The scanned information about controller's serial number along with its exact location coordinates goes directly to the software platform.
As a result our customer is getting a digital copy of his facility and can be ensured that his maitenance engineers will find the right luminaire in the right place.

Lighting installation programming is the next step of the project after comissioning.
New smart luminaires are divided into groups, with each group controlled by its personal profile. Profiles can be created by anyone without extra skills due to very simple and user-friendly tool called Schedule Creator that is available in software cloud platform by default.

ámbiot Cloud Software Platform Functionality
Monitoring
Each luminaire is placed on interactive city map, connected to the real coordinates.
Visual control of luminaire health and connection status, as well as signal strength and quality.
Electrical energy parameters monitoring for each individual luminaire.
Control
Individual and group control of connected luminaires, as well as control of the entire installation in both manual and automatic modes
On | Off | Dimming according to the schedule, loaded into the memory of the controller. Manual control by operator.
Individual | group | the entire installation management with unicast | multicast commands.
Alerts & Events
Alerts in case of failures. User can set normal operating ranges for each luminaire and system will alert you if something goes wrong.
System log for user's actions.
Schedule Creator
Annual schedules with date-based exceptions for holidays & weekends
Schedule creator was designed to be user-friendly so it doesn't require unique skills or competence
Lighting management operation is connected to the real sunset | sunrise for exact location
Schedule Creator allows to program several dimming levels for each group of luminaires
LoRaWAN® Luminaire controller LC-2
This hardware was designed specially for lighting control. It provides connection of the luminaires to the cloud platform.
Extra options and future developments
- Controller's firware updates over-the-air (FUOTA)
- Platform functionality increase due to additional software modules, such as enterprise asset management module, maintenance module, etc.
- 3rd party sensors and services integration into software platform
- Data collection, analysis, maintenance savings
