Smart Lighting System Overview
The Smart Lighting System collects data from and manages the operation of remote street luminaires. The
System consists of the following components:
• LCU – Located on top of or inside the luminaire cover, or in the light pole, the LCU sends sensor data
and executes scheduled and unscheduled luminaire control commands, such as on/off and dim,
received from the CMS Application Server.
• LoRa Gateway – the gateways forward message to/from Network Server to end devices.
• LoRa Network Server – forward message to appropriate Application Server and selects best gateway
to send message for transmission to end devices.
• CMS – Web-based backend application server provides real-time management: receives LCU
communications from the LoRa network server and sends luminaire control commands to the LoRa
network server for transmission to LCUs.
CMS usually contains a database of static and dynamic LCU information: ambient light values, lighting
and dimming schedules, power usage, status, etc.
