Sensity Systems introduced a light-sensing network under the NetSense brand, in which each LED luminaire becomes a node in a carrier-grade broadband network that can provide various services to building owners.
Thanks to Sensity's distributed computing architecture, each LED light is equipped with sensors and a full-featured processor capable of executing software instructions. Networked, these luminaires collectively collect and process environmental data, providing analytics that transform raw data into actionable information.
Networked LED lighting also offers energy savings—about 80 percent when using LED lighting alone and about 90 percent when using LED lighting combined with a network—compared to fluorescent or HID lighting, according to Sensity.
A Sensity spokesperson said the LEDs are connected wirelessly via Wi-Fi. Through high-speed Canada Mobile Database networks, cloud computing and big data analytics, NetSense is capable of collecting and transmitting data from the environment into a variety of applications and services such as public safety, weather monitoring, parking management and retail analytics.
The NetSense platform reflects the "Internet of Things" trend: the networking of everyday physical objects, from kitchen appliances to lighting fixtures.
Chevron Energy Solutions is a Sensity partner targeting municipalities to deploy light sensor networks. Sensity has also begun working with several partners and third-party developers to create SensApps—applications running on NetSense, including lighting control, power monitoring, lighting maintenance, network monitoring, parking management, security, asset management, and retail analytics.
Other companies offering LED-based lighting networks include Acuity Brands and Digital Lumens.
A Department of Energy report states that LED lighting controlled by occupancy sensors, if done correctly, can increase savings from an already efficient lighting system by as much as 76 percent beyond those achieved in the initial transition to LEDs.
Green House Data, a Coolerado customer based in Cheyenne, Wyoming, was able to achieve 40 percent greater efficiency than traditional data centers while achieving 100 percent uptime when using Coolerado products, the company reports.
