Smart Lighting Systems (SLS)

Automate and enhance existing street lights with the addition of NC1 / NC2 / NM7 network nodes. Installation is as simple as twisting in a new NM7 or wiring in line and neutral of an NC1 in the access panel of the street lamp.

• Scheduled dimming

• Microwave motion sensor activated dimming

• Automated power monitoring with lamp burnout notifications

• Optional anonymous traffic / pedestrian counting with mm wave sensor

Argus Smart Lighting Solutions

Unique cost effective retrofit package for turning existing lamps into secure, connected smart city nodes without the need for any new wired or wireless infrastructure. 

This is accomplished with a power line communications (PLC) module that uses existing power lines for communication. This is a unique, highly secure means of communication that is completely independent of the internet or other common wireless technologies like Zigbee or WiFi that can be broken into remotely with equipment that is commonly available.  

The smart controller implements multiple layers of security including a 256-bit elliptic curve cryptography-based protocol that makes it virtually impossible for the communications to be breached without the use of specialized equipment and multiple levels of authentication credentials that are available only to the city managers who will be in charge of the communications network.

The system is easily installed and is scalable from a few nodes to a city-wide deployment in stages without any changes to the existing infrastructure.

In addition to giving the city the ability to remotely monitor and control each lamp, the retrofit package includes the ability to connect to external sensors on various communication channels. The package includes an emergency lighting solution backed up with an optional solar photovoltaic panel to provide emergency lighting at each street light in case of power outages
