ATLANTA - January
16, 2018 - Acuity Brands, Inc. (NYSE: AYI) today announced that
Phunware, an enterprise mobile software company, has joined the
Atrius(TM) Internet of Things (IoT) partner ecosystem. Phunware
will be adding the Atrius Navigator software development kit (SDK)
to its indoor positioning technology offerings, providing customers
an innovative, energy-efficient option to support Phunware's
hardware-agnostic location capabilities.
Phunware currently provides an
indoor wayfinding solution, available on both Apple® iOS and
Android(TM) operating systems, which can be embedded within a fully
configurable Phunware-managed native app or within a customer's
existing app via Phunware's Mapping and Location SDKs. By becoming
an Atrius IoT Partner, Phunware is now able to offer customers an
additional supported indoor positioning service (IPS) with
increased reliability and centimeter-level precision, increased
energy efficiency and lower maintenance costs.
The Atrius Sensory Network,
including luminaires enabled with Atrius, features embedded
Bluetooth® low energy (BLE) and Visible Light Communication (VLC)
technologies acting as all-in-one access points for indoor and
adjacent outdoor environments. Phunware's customers are expected to
benefit from using the Atrius IoT platform for indoor positioning
because the communication technology is embedded in LED luminaires,
eliminating the need for additional hardware components such as
stand-alone beacons that require separate installation,
maintenance, and power.
"The ease of integration and
highly adaptable nature of the Atrius IoT platform makes this
technology suite ideal for creating high-value mobile applications
that deliver indoor navigation, mobile marketing automation,
contextual content and much more," said Matthew Lindenberger, Vice
President of Engineering at Phunware. "As an Atrius partner, we can
also help deliver the added benefit of networked intelligent
lighting that provides highly accurate location awareness,
significant energy savings and digital controls to our
customers."
