A bar chart describing the difference in the 10 year cost of operating sensors with and without a Smart Lighting-enabled Smart City network.

Tondo Smart Lighting also creates an open standards-based Smart City network for connecting sensors and other wireless and wired devices to Tondo’s Cloud-IQ management platform.

This can reduce sensor and device deployment costs by 80% or more versus proprietary networks or individual cellular connections, with a 2.7x or greater benefit versus your LED retrofit project, and 3.5x over Smart Lighting alone.

A stacked bar chart that details the operating costs of street and area lighting, and the savings available with Smart Street and Area Lighting controls.

Normally open(NO) and Normally closed (NC) are terms used to define the states that switches, sensors or relay contacts are under when they are not activated.

A NO contact or a normally open contact is the one that remains open until a certain condition is satisfied such as a button being pressed or some other manner of activation such as those based on temperature, pressure, etc.

A NC contact or normally closed contact is the exact opposite of NO contact by function. It remains closed until a certain condition is satisfied.

Lighting control cabinets typically control a group of street lights or advertising signage from a “control cabinet”. These controls have historically provided on-off functionality based on the time of day using an “astronomical clock”-based switch or daylight photosensor. Lights are controlled in groups with no individual control over a specific light.

Although new controllers such as Tondo’s Edge-IQ controller have replaced the cabinet-based approach with new technologies that include advanced dimming, remote cloud-control, and support for functionality including sensors and switches, there are many outdoor lights and signs that do not support on-lamp control. Tondo’s Cabinet-IQ controller provides new advanced IoT technology support for existing cabinet-controlled lighting.

CAT-M/LTE-M and NB-IoT are similar but have differences that may make one suitable over another, or simply selected based on the support for one or the other that is available in your area.

NB-IoT uses a narrow bandwidth of 200 kHz, where CAT-M uses 1.4 MHz. The maximum data rate for NB-IoT is ~ 250 kb per second, with CAT-M1 reaching ~ 1 Mbps. CAT-M is marginally less energy efficient than NB-IoT. Although NB-IoT has a lower speed, both NB-IoT and CAT-M are suitable for sensor communications since sensors typically do not require much bandwidth.

Both NB-IoT and CAT-M1 are supported under the 5G technology specifications and therefore are ideal for selecting as a standard for sensor communications.

 

CAT-M wireless (aka LTE-M) is a low-power wide area network (LPWAN) cellular data transmission standard that operates over the data and physical layer. CAT-M was designed for IoT projects, with an average upload speed between 200 kbps and 400 kbps.

Eddystone is an open-source Bluetooth advertising protocol originally designed by Google. It can be used by mobile device applications to deliver improved proximity-based experiences that include applications such as Google Maps.

These packets can be discovered with any Bluetooth LE APIs such as Core Bluetooth on iOS, or android.bluetooth.le on Android. You can also use them with Google’s Nearby Messages API, which can be integrated into an iOS or Android app, and receive “messages” in those apps when a person enters or exits a range of beacons.

You can read more about it on github.com/google/eddystone.

A DIN rail is a metal rail of a standard type widely used for mounting circuit breakers and industrial control equipment inside equipment racks.

IP stands for “ingress protection”. For IP67, this means:

“6” describes protection of solid particles: No ingress of dust; complete protection against contact (dust-tight). A vacuum must be applied. Test duration of up to 8 hours based on airflow.

“7” describes the protection from water: Ingress of water in harmful quantity shall not be possible when the enclosure is immersed in water under defined conditions of pressure and time (up to 1 meter (3 ft 3 in) of submersion). Test duration: 30 minutes.

Modbus is a data communications protocol originally published in 1979. Modbus has become a de facto standard communication protocol and is now a commonly available means of connecting and communicating with industrial electronic devices.

RS-485, also known as TIA-485(-A) or EIA-485, is a serial communications standard.

Electrical signalling is balanced, and multipoint systems are supported. Digital communications networks implementing the standard can be used effectively over long distances and in electrically noisy environments.

This table describes the differences between 3G, 4G, and 5G cellular communications standards.

4G devices will work on 4G LTE networks and the earlier cellular technologies, including 3G, EGPRS, and 2G.

Smart city sensors require very little bandwidth, and 3G EGPRS and 4G LTE can easily support the required data rates.

5G networks are relatively new, and most 5G deployments use a combination of 4G and 5G networks.

The NEMA ANSI C137.10 standard specifies roadway and area lighting equipment connector compatibility. The 3-pin standard does not provide for dimming control, but provides for on/off operation. The later standard C137.41 adds dimming control (5- and 7-pin connectors) and sensor control (7-pin connectors). The newer C137.4-2021 standard provides enhanced functionality and compatibility with the DALI D4i lighting and sensor control standard.

The NEMA ANSI C137.41 5-pin connector variant adds support for dimming control, but does not include sensor communications support which is supported by the 7-pin connector.

DALI, or Digital Addressable Lighting Interface, is a dedicated protocol for digital lighting control that enables the easy installation of robust, scalable and flexible lighting networks.

Wiring is relatively simple; DALI power and data is carried by the same pair of wires, without the need for a separate bus cable.

    A report design feature is coming soon, planned for 2023. In the meantime, Tondo’s team performs the report design work for its customers. Customers can also use Tondo’s API to pull data into their reporting and analytics tools.

    What does Tondo mean by "plug and play"?

    Once connected, a Tondo controller will query the type of lighting it is connected to, the sensors or devices connected to it, the GPS/GLONASS location data, and send that and the device information to the Tondo Cloud-IQ CMS and apply a default or custom profile to the device for automated configuration and instant operation.

    How secure is a Tondo device and network?

    Tondo’s Edge-IQ controllers use the ARM Cryptocell Security-on-Chip (SoC) that enables each device to be secured with a unique key stored in a secure vault. The Cryptocell cryptographic accelerator generates a unique key for every communication session, and the root key is re-generated each time a firmware update or controller reset is initiated.

    You can read more about the capabilities of the ARM Cryptocell 300 family at this link.

    Does every Tondo controller need a cellular connection?

    No, but they all have an integrated cellular gateway that requires zero network management.

    Tondo controllers connect with each other via Bluetooth in a star or mesh configuration, and use any controller with the cellular (EGPRS or LTE to communicate with the Tondo Cloud-IQ Central Management Software (CMS).

    The advantages of having both a Bluetooth and cellular network are:

    1) Cellular networks are energy-inefficient for battery-powered sensor connectivity, limiting them to direct-wire applications. Bluetooth sensor battery life can last up to five years.

    2. Cellular networks may be over-loaded by the enormous scale of Smart City networks, creating additional capacity costs for cities.

    3. Mesh networks of sensors and controllers can provide unique data sets consumed by artificial intelligence systems that would not be available with direct-to-cloud cellular networks.

    Am I locked into a proprietary solution?

    Tondo is committed to open systems and interoperability. Our selection of the full-stack Bluetooth wireless specification is one example. Our support for the TALQ interoperability specification for Smart City management software is another, as is our support for DALI, ANSI, Zhaga, and our provision of RESTful APIs and out-of-box connectors for third party applications.

    What happens if my cellular provider's network goes down?

    Tondo’s Edge-IQ controller contains a dual-SIM/eSIM that supports dual cellular network failover for maximum up-time.

    Tondo controllers will also operate with their current profile stored in the firmware autonomously. Dimming and on/off operations are not depedent on an “always-on” cellular network connection.

    Built-in sensor data is cached in the controllers until a connection is restored to prevent loss of data.

    Any pending updates sent from the CMS will be updated when the connection is restored.
