Solux Bridge: Your Gateway to Smarter, More Efficient Solar Lights

The solar lighting industry is constantly evolving, embracing new technologies and innovations. One such technology is remote monitoring and intelligent lighting systems, that help projects to not only maximize illumination but also minimize energy waste. The implementation of these technologies in solar lights are not only upgrading outdoor and street solar lights but also offering a multitude of benefits for cities, residents, and the environment.

This article will explore how smart technology is being used by Solux and how solar lights are turning into a powerful solution for diverse applications.

Smart City Remote Solux Bridge

At Solux, we've developed a special tool called the Solux Bridge for remote monitoring of our solar street lights which uses the LoRaWAN technology. We understand that for clients, real-time access to information and the ability to concurrently monitor multiple solar street lights is important. This technology streamlines the management and oversight of a vast network of lights, conserving both time and resources.

LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) is a powerful technology that acts as the invisible backbone for remote monitoring and management of solar street lights. It allows these lights to communicate wirelessly with a central system, enabling real-time data collection, control, and optimization. Here at Solux, we leverage LoRaWAN's strengths to offer two distinct solutions tailored to your project's size:

LoRaWAN: For Large-Scale Projects

This solution is ideal for large-scale project deployments. Here's why LoRaWAN is particularly well-suited for large-scale applications due to several key advantages:

• Long Range Communication: LoRaWAN boasts an impressive range of up to 3 kilometers, ensuring seamless connectivity across vast areas. Wide-area coverage eliminates the need for dense network infrastructure, saving on installation costs.
• Low Power Consumption: LoRaWAN excels at minimizing power usage. This translates to extended battery life for your solar street lights, reducing maintenance frequency.
• Bi-Direction: LoRaWAN facilitates not only data collection from the lights but also sending commands back to them. This allows for real-time adjustments, remote troubleshooting, and proactive maintenance.
• Efficient Network Structure: Each LoRaWAN gateway can handle a large number of "nodes" (solar street lights) within its 3km radius. Lights communicate directly with the gateway, avoiding potential packet loss that can occur in mesh networks.

LoRaWAN Bluetooth Mesh: Optimized for Smaller Projects

For projects with a more concentrated layout, we offer LoRaWAN Bluetooth Mesh. This solution prioritizes efficiency and scalability in closely spaced networks:

• Reduced Deployment Cost: This solution requires fewer gateways compared to standard LoRaWAN, thanks to its mesh network structure. This translates to lower upfront costs for smaller projects.
• Scalability: LoRaWAN Bluetooth Mesh allows for easy expansion as your project grows. Lights act as relays,extending the network's reach without additional infrastructure.
• Shorter Range, Optimized Power: With a maximum distance of 100 meters between lights, LoRaWAN Bluetooth Mesh excels in smaller areas. This focused communication further minimizes power consumption for long-lasting performance.
• Mesh Networking: Lights can communicate with each other, creating a redundant network. If a direct connection to the gateway is disrupted, data can be relayed through other lights, ensuring reliable communication.

Both LoRaWAN solutions offer additional advantages regardless of project size. They feature straightforward deployment, requiring minimal disruption to existing infrastructure. Setting up the network is simple and scalable, allowing for future expansion.

Managing Solar Street Lights Through A Centralized Dashboard

Our Street Light Management System introduces a centralized dashboard that goes beyond asset management. It acts as your command center, allowing users to optimize and streamline every aspect of smart lighting infrastructure.

• Project Management: View and manage all your device information in one place. Edit settings based on project classifications, and leverage flexible grouping strategies to control large areas. This allows you to efficiently control light brightness, turn on/off entire zones, and more.
• Visualize Everything with GIS Mapping: The integrated GIS map provides a clear picture of your entire lighting network. Different equipment types and statuses are displayed visually, allowing for quick identification and control.

• Proactive Maintenance Mode: Receive timely alerts about equipment wear and tear. The system synchronizes maintenance status in real-time, facilitating efficient scheduling and resource allocation. Manage your maintenance personnel's information and easily track their work progress.

• Lamp Control & Historical Data: Drill down to individual lights or manage them in groups. Remotely adjust brightness levels or turn lights on/off based on schedules or sensor data. Implement dimming strategies for optimal energy efficiency. Additionally, access historical data (up to 31 days) for lights, batteries, and solar panels, enabling data-driven decisions for further optimization.

With real-time monitoring and remote control capabilities, maintenance needs are minimized and resource allocation is optimized.

Depending on your project scale, Solux Bridge adapts to your specific requirements. With Solux Bridge, you can unlock the full potential of your solar street lights. Whether you require a powerful system for a sprawling project or a cost-effective solution for a smaller area, we have the perfect technology to meet your needs.
