LoRaWAN® Luminaire Controller Nema
The LoRaWAN® Luminaire Controller NEMA is a compact and modern wireless control device designed to facilitate the remote management of LED lighting systems. Thanks to its NEMA-compliant connector, it can be easily integrated into street lighting modules. The device operates with low-power wide-area networks (LPWAN) such as LoRaWAN®, NB-IoT, and LTE-M, and provides precise lighting control through DALI / DALI-2 interfaces.
Its durable IP67-rated enclosure ensures high protection against harsh environmental conditions, while allowing the device to be managed both in the field and via cloud-based platforms. With 0–10V, 1–10V, and DALI-2 control interface options, the system offers flexibility and can operate autonomously based on predefined schedules, ambient light levels, and adaptive lighting scenarios.
To enhance energy efficiency and optimize system performance, it can monitor electrical parameters such as voltage, current, power, power factor, and frequency. Additionally, it provides advanced features such as surge and tilt detection, optional light level sensing, geolocation tracking, and configuration via Bluetooth.
With its ease of use, secure communication (AES-128 encryption), and versatile management capabilities, it offers an ideal solution for urban lighting infrastructures.
