The Echelon gateway is the only
commercially-available outdoor control solution that seamlessly
integrates two of the most widely used lighting control
connectivity technologies—powerline and wireless—to provide
flexibility, reduce deployment costs and ease maintenance.
City-wide deployments in Bellingham, WA and Cambridge, MA
are utilizing this solution to intelligently manage their diverse
LED streetlighting systems. The award-winning gateway enables
the customer to mix and match connectivity options allowing
Bellingham to control 500 decorative fixtures along with 3,100
cobra head fixtures. Similarly, Cambridge is coordinating control
of more than 7,000 fixtures. Customers have the flexibility to
control widely diverse lighting types across their city landscapes
so they can provide comfort and safety to their residents, while
achieving energy efficiency goals.
“Receiving the Sapphire Award is a great honor and achievement.
Our technology enables cities to implement connected smart lighting
across their entire city landscape under a common control platform,
regardless of fixture type or location,” said Ron Sege, Chairman
and CEO of Echelon. “We are thrilled to be included in the group of
innovators who are advancing the industry by helping smart cities
and enterprises adopt IoT-enabled lighting.”
The winners were announced at the Awards Gala held March 1 at
Strategies in Light and The LED Show 2017. The Sapphire Awards are
the first in the lighting industry to recognize true technology
stars in the LED-based solid-state lighting (SSL) market from an
enabling-technology and elegance-of-design perspective.
