UVAX transforms outdoor lighting networks into high-speed data networks.
UVAX solution and its elements:
Node
A device installed in each streetlight, grouping all Nodes into a network based on the existing outdoor lighting infrastructure.
B-PLC Solution
Broadband Powerline Communication solution which enables aggregating different technologies (LoRa, WiFi, ZigBee, etc.) in one single system.
HeadEnd
Gateway installed in the electrical cabinet that controls all Nodes in a segment.
Central Management Software
Hosted on a web server, which can be accessed from anywhere on the Internet using a computer, laptop or even a mobile device.
User
The user (cities and corporations) can monitor, configure and program the entire system remotely.
Advantages of B-PLC
Applications
Our technology not only allows remote and real time control of lighting solutions, but also becomes a communication platform for countless services required by Smart Cities, providing additional benefits to citizens in addition to producing important cost savings for cities.
Scalability is one of the great advantages of our solution, as you can gradually integrate any of the following IP device you can find in the market such as:
UVAX Smart Cities Solution
It is an information “highway”, which can be exploited by cities, maintenance or energy service companies, as well as network operators for many years to come, through new business models yet to be developed.
The solution also allows to control electrical switchboards in the same assignment and from any remote location, without the need to send out technicians for each eventuality.
We should consider today public lighting as an expensive and underutilized infrastructure, which represents an important percentage of the electricity bill of a city, besides an acute burden in its carbon footprint reduction goal.
To deal with these challenges, Digital Transformation and The Internet of Things (IoT) as well as interconnectivity, are essential tools to help drive improvements in services and benefits to citizens.
Speed Data Networks
UVAX has focused its development in a unique technology that uses power lines for high-speed broadband data transmission, thus allowing the use of existing infrastructures to facilitate the integration of a wide range of functionalities in a single communication channel.
This avoids the need to use different communication channels for each application or vertical, with its consequent cost savings on both, CAPEX (Capital Expenditure) and OPEX (Operational Expenditures).
Our intelligent communication system allows to interconnect the physical world with the digital world, which translates into greater energy and economic efficiency.
