FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
HUBBELL BUILDING AUTOMATION LAUNCHES THE WORLD’S MOST
ADVANCED, YET
EASY TO USE, STREET LIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM—wiSCAPE
Hubbell Lighting, a world leader in lighting innovation,
announced a state-of-the-art wireless lighting control solution for new and
existing street lights—Hubbell Building Automation’s (HBA) wiSCAPETM. Using a
combination of universal street light modules and connecting gateways,
wiSCAPETM creates a sophisticated and secure wireless control network for
maximum energy savings and intuitive asset management.
Street lights make roads safer, public areas more inviting
and city centers, businesses and homes more secure. That said, it also accounts
for nearly 40 percent of a city’s electrical spending. As municipalities search
for ways to become more energy efficient, leaders are looking to reduce overall
energy use, light streets based on activity level, pay for actual energy
consumed and minimize light pollution—all without raising electricity prices or
taxes. HBA’s wiSCAPETM accomplishes each of these objectives and more. Just
imagine if all of the nation’s 52.6 million street lights were automated, the
estimated energy savings would provide enough electricity to power 1.5 million
homes each year. 1
HBA’s wiSCAPETM fixture modules are installed directly in
any street light and don’t require the running of new wires or relay panels,
and the system works with a wide variety of lighting sources including: LED,
induction, MH-HPS-LPS, incandescent, halogen, and plasma. Utilizing a secure
peer-to-peer, self-organizing and self-healing mesh network infrastructure,
wiSCAPETM allows users to manage, monitor and meter each individual streetlight
with the click of a mouse. With dimming, scheduling and motion detection
features, wiSCAPETM significantly reduces energy costs while minimizing light
pollution.
Seamlessly melding the network together, HBA’s wiSCAPETM
Gateway is used to combine up to 1,000 wiSCAPETM fixture modules into a single
wireless network. Using the robust 2.4GHz ISM (Industrial, Scientific and
Medical) radio band, the wiSCAPETM Gateway wireless control technology adapts
easily to complex automation situations for quick, simple and economical
commissioning and operation.
HBA wiSCAPETM modules are supported by wiSCAPE ViewTM—the
graphical system management software platform that gives users the ability to
remotely access multiple wiSCAPETM Gateways individually from one location.
Equipped with a user-friendly graphical interface with map and satellite views,
wiSCAPE ViewTM features real-time control status, alarms and metering
capabilities including burned lamp notifications, over/under voltage, cycling,
and low power factor. There is even a wiSCAPETM app for iPod®, iPad®, iPhone®,
AndroidTM, and other Smartphone devices.
