Smart Lighting for Public Transportation and Railways
Tondo’s Smart Lighting can lower your lighting electricity consumption and GHG footprint by up to 70%, and lower your lighting maintenance costs by over 50% – even after your LED retrofit projects. Tondo can help you deliver standards-based lighting compliance for maximum passenger safety and security.
Improving Transportation Safety and Security
Smart lighting and the appropriate selection of lighting intensity, color temperature, and coverage can make a significant difference in whether passengers feel welcome, safe, and secure, and deter crime.
But even great lighting design needs great lighting controls to implement. Ridership isn’t static, and traffic changes over time, requiring lighting controls that can adapt quickly and easily.
Smart lighting enables you to serve the needs of your passengers while ensuring you remain standards- and best-practices compliant.
Lighting in stations is found in several studies to be important for the perception of and is often found to be one of the most essential characteristics affecting safety in the stations. This also concerns the area around the station such as car parks. [Studies have] found that especially young women felt unsafe in environments with poor lighting.

Advanced Area Lighting Control
control increases safety and reduces costs
Tondo supports connection to a variety of lighting types using ANSI/NEMA or Zhaga Book 18 socket types on your luminaires, and we also offer central cabinet control and internal luminaire solutions.
We support on- or in-fixture 0v-10v dimming, and DALI-2 lighting control standards, and our Cabinet-IQ cabinet-based controller provides on-off controls for older non-dimmable lighting such as metal halide and sodium lighting.
Advanced Cryptographic Security
SECURING CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
Tondo’s team designed our controllers with the expectation that well-resourced bad actors will target your operations.
Every Tondo Edge-IQ controller contains the world’s most advanced cryptographic cybersecurity chip designs from ARM: the Cryptocell® and TrustZone provide unique encryption keys and accelerated hardware-protected encryption operations that are responsible for ensuring we are talking to who we expect.
In this way, we overcome the limitations of 30+ year old software-only security certificate designs that are easy targets for bad actors.
Turning Light Poles into Smart Poles
AFFORDABLE SENSOR AND DEVICE CONNECTIVITY
When you install Tondo’s Edge-IQ controllers, light poles become individually-controlled and electrified 24 x 7 x 365 without wasting energy. This transforms tired old light poles into Smart Poles for Smart Cities.
Instead of purchasing sensors, meters, cameras, and other controls – each with their own different technology, network, cellular connections – you can simply attach them to your Tondo Smart City network. This can reduce your operating cost of sensors and other devices by as much as 80%.
AI, Data Lakes, and Deep Learning
TRANSFORMING DATA INTO KNOWLEDGE
The Smart City will bring with it an unprecedented growth in data.
Tondo’s Cloud-IQ central management system (CMS) is the most advanced platform of its kind, using Deep Learning AI technology that analyzes that data to provide actionable insights for your business.
Cloud-IQ’s Data Lake and Real-Time Processing systems makes it possible to collect data from city- and nation-scale Smart City systems that don’t surprise you with unexpected costs to scale later.
We can connect Cloud-IQ with your enterprise asset management, analytics, and other operations management software (OMS) to create a seamless ecosystem for into your entire connected asset network.
Unified Smart City Management

Tondo’s Cloud-IQ central management system (CMS) is the most advanced platform of its kind, using Deep Learning AI technology that analyzes the data you collect to provide actionable insights for your business.
More than lighting, the Tondo Cloud-IQ CMS can support a wide range of sensors and connected devices – and Tondo can take your ideas and use-cases and turn them into reality.
We can integrate our management system with your enterprise asset management, analytics, and other operations management software (OMS) to provide you with a single window into your entire connected asset network.
True Plug and Play Installation
ZERO IN-FIELD CONFIGURATION
Tondo’s design reduces project deployment costs, eliminates in-the-field configuration, tedious installer training, and reduces your risk of project delays.
Once physically connected, all Tondo controllers automatically know the type of lighting they are connected to, and communicate back to the Tondo Cloud-IQ CMS to apply the correct lighting profile in seconds.
The Tondo Mobile-IQ app for Android is also provided for lighting installers in the field to validate operation as soon as a controller is plugged in, and they can optionally add valuable asset data for you using custom asset fields that are updated to the Tondo Cloud-IQ CMS and your asset management system.
Standards = Choice
THE POWER OF BEING OPEN
At Tondo, we are committed to providing standards-based solutions that keep the control in the hands of our customers.
Our design choices such as selecting Bluetooth for wireless network communications with its full, end-to-end open specification for true interoperability, is just one example.
Our support for DALI lighting control, ANSI/NEMA and Zhaga fixture and sensor connections, our support for CAT-M and NB-IOT cellular communications, and our adoption of TALQ APIs for Smart City interoperability, are all part of our strategy to protect your investment in Tondo.
