With the smart city concept, smart transformations are also demanded in street and street lighting in cities. Within the scope of the Paris Agreement, countries have responsible consumption, sustainable smart city and climate actions. A control system that will serve these actions will contribute to realizing multiple goals. For this reason, IOT-based lighting control systems have become increasingly popular and in demand all over the world.
The technologies used in wireless infrastructures that will serve all Smart Cities are Bluetooth, Zigbee, GSM or LoRa. Zigbee solution is not preferred due to its high cost per luminaire, Bluetooth communication method cannot provide service throughout the city and is generally preferred indoors, and GSM-based systems are not preferred due to the monthly subscription costs to service providers per luminaire.
LoRa Wireless technology, named after the initials Long Rage, which provides long distance communication in urban lighting in the world, has become popular. Our system is equipped with LoRa wireless technology.
In street lighting luminaire control, the American NEMA and Zhaga Socket, which is still very young, have entered our lives. In our system, more widely preferred NEMA socket compatible RF receivers are used. In this way, you can use it with all NEMA socketed luminaires compatible with ANSI C136.41.

LoRa Gateway
General Information
LoRa Data Collector providing individual communication with nodes using a 470/868/915 MHz wireless interface.
In addition to its main functions, the LoRa data collector controls all electrical equipment in the cabin, collects data from the electricity meter and other connected devices and sends the live status of the entire LoRa system to the server via GSM/GPRS/3G mobile network. LoRa data collector programming and light level programming is performed remotely from the software.
