ZigBee Antenna in Urban Smart Lighting

This article is talking about the Application of ZigBee antenna in urban smart lighting. We have customers who are using our Zigbee antennas for smart street lights.

Urban street lighting can be roughly divided into two categories: traditional street lighting systems and smart street lighting systems.

Traditional street lamp lighting adopts simple wired circuit control, which has disadvantages such as difficult installation, high maintenance cost, and high power consumption.

Most of smart street lighting systems use wireless smart control and unified management on the cloud platform. Its emergence solves most of the shortcomings of traditional street lamp lighting systems. With the development of the times, it will eventually replace traditional street lamp lighting systems.

At present, intelligent applications are emerging one after another, and there are also numerous solutions for intelligent street lighting systems. ZigBee has also poured into it. With the characteristics of self-organization, high capacity, low power consumption, and low latency, ZigBee antennas have become a rising star in intelligent lighting systems.

Introduction to ZigBee Technology

ZigBee is a low-power local area network protocol based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. According to international standards, ZigBee technology is a short-distance, low-power wireless communication technology. Its main operating frequency bands are 868 MHz, 915 MHz, and 2.4 GHz frequency bands. Most of the ZigBee currently used in the market work in the 2.4 GHz frequency band. It is widely used in private LAN control systems, such as smart homes, and remote meter readings…

Scheme framework

The system consists of four parts: terminal street light node part, router street light node part, coordinator street light node part, and cloud server part.

Cloud Server

The data collection point of all street lamp information can monitor the status of all street lamps through the network and issue instructions.

Coordinator street light node

Network maintenance of ZigBee antenna street lamp nodes (router street lamp nodes and terminal street lamp nodes) in an area, and collect all street lamp status information in the area, upload it to the cloud server through GPRS or send the control information issued by the cloud server to GPRS to The corresponding nodes in this area play a real-time control role. At the same time, it controls and collects data on the street lights at its own location.

Router street light node

The auxiliary coordinator street lamp node controls the terminal street lamp nodes around the terminal. At the same time, it controls and collects data on the street lights at its own location. Upload to the coordinator or receive commands issued by the coordinator to perform related operations.

Terminal street light node

Control and collect data on the street lights at your location. Upload to the coordinator or receive commands issued by the coordinator to perform related operations.

ZigBee antenna smart lighting features

Convenient unified management

ZigBee antenna aggregates the street lamp node data in the same management area network to the coordinator on intelligent lighting and then uploads it to the server by the GPRS module on the main board of the coordinator, and the server uniformly monitors and manages the status of the street lights.

Automatic system maintenance

The street light part of the whole system is built with a ZigBee antenna network, with network self-healing and automatic networking functions.

When a certain or a few street lamp nodes fail to disconnect the network in the middle, it will re-search for the surrounding available networks and automatically join the network to ensure the integrity and self-healing of the entire network.

The cloud server can perform real-time monitoring of the entire network, which doubles as a guarantee for the stability of the entire system.

Easy to install

Each non-coordinator street light node is composed of a ZigBee node (CTRF-ANTENNA-AP-2450-13190-SMA or CTRF-ANTENNA-AP-2450-13198-SMA) + lighting control circuit, and the coordinator street light node is composed of a ZigBee node (such as CTRF-ANTENNA-FPC-2450-3810-UFL100 or CTRF-ANTENNA-PCB-2450-4212-UFL120) + GPRS module + lighting control circuit, The system is low in cost, simple in structure, easy to install and maintain.

ZigBee antenna smart lighting application summary

ZigBee technology has the characteristics of low power consumption, low cost, delay end, large capacity, reliable information, high security, etc., and will play an irreplaceable role in urban intelligent lighting systems.
