Lora 智慧路燈的應用

InteliLIGHT® Streetlight Management System is a product of Flashnet SRL.

Flashnet is a technology company based in Brasov, Romania, that integrates hardware and software in order to develop intelligent services for smarter cities.在主頁的影片中, 他的連線方式,包括PLC 連線和LORA連線, 可以控制大範圍的路燈。http://intelilight.eu/

inteliLIGHT® controllers can be used to monitor and manage other applications along the street lighting grid, such as sprinklers or access barriers that require remote on/off switching. Also, with the street lighting networks controlled by inteliLIGHT® being continuously under power, they allow the use of sensors and add-ons even during the day. Advertising back-lit panels on the poles, Electric Vehicle charging infrastructure all over the city or wireless communication devices are only a few ideas that can bring additional incomes to your community.

根據他們在歐洲與美國的經驗, 每個LORA的基地台, 可以控制到3-10 公里半徑內的5000各路燈。 http://www.flashnet.ro/intelilight-lora-streetlight-control-main-attraction-frankfurt/

我看到台灣近年來,也在推展LED路燈, 並且用聯網方式來控制路燈, 控制的方式,有的業者是採用藍芽或是Zigbee, 還沒有引進LORA技術, 另一方面, 如果每個路燈都要裝3G/4G的行動通訊模組, 將成本太高. 在洛杉磯有安裝100個路燈含有4G的模組, 這個路燈就可以作為轉做WIFI的AP功能, 也可以在路燈上裝攝影機或電子看板. 但這種路燈不可能全都這樣, 例如台北市至少6000支路燈, 很少數可以配置4G模組的. 因此, LORA看來是比較經濟實惠的解決方案

另一則新聞提到, 韓國的SK電信也加入了LORA聯盟, 他們想要應用的包括瓦斯表的讀表功能,

SK Telecom wants to use LoRa's LPWAN protocol to trial a range of B2B solutions, including location monitoring, trade area analysis and smart street light controls. The telco has also unveiled plans to promote the trial launch of what it calls ‘Internet of Small Things’ services, which include sensors and monitors for temperature, humidity, weight and location. http://www.telecomtv.com/articles/iot/sk-telecom-s-support-of-lora-shows-that-telcos-can-t-solely-rely-on-cellular-for-iot-12646/
