Abstract
A network using existing streetlights is described. Each street light becomes a node in the network, arid each includes a power terminal for receiving electrical power, a light source coupled to the power terminal, a processor coupled to the power terminal, a network interface coupled between the processor and the network of lighting systems, and a sensor coupled to the processor for detecting a condition at the node, and in response providing information about that condition to the processor.
Claims1
A node for a network of lighting systems, the node comprising:
- a power input terminal for receiving electrical power;
- a light source coupled to the power input terminal;
- a processor coupled to the power input terminal;
- a network interface coupled between the processor and the network of lighting systems;
- and
- a sensor coupled to the processor for detecting a condition at the node, and in response providing information about that condition to the processor, and wherein the processor executes at least one of a control or application function in response to the information provided by the sensor.
