Ohli Lighting – Cellular

Installing Ohli Smart Lighting is simple – just plug and play
To install Ohli Smart Lighting all you have to do is plug the Ohli Node controller into the NEMA socket on your luminaire with a twist-lock, and the Ohli Node does the rest. Ohli Node will automatically find and register itself with the Ohli Management System in the cloud, and you can view it in your Ohli mobile app on your phone or tablet. There is no need for cumbersome and expensive pre-deployment RF surveys, and you don’t have to involve your IT department in the provisioning of the Ohli Node.

Most smart streetlights or smart areas lights connect to the network via a gateway device. Each gateway device is proprietary, has a limited range, and can handle only a certain number of lighting controllers, plus installing a gateway requires a certain skill set. Ohli works differently. Because it uses the cellular network Ohli Smart Lighting doesn’t need a gateway at all (though if you already have LoRaWAN we have a LoRaWAN version). You can run Ohli Nodes standalone, or alongside ANY type of existing network, including Acuity ROAM and Echelon.

The Ohli Node controller uses a built-in, industrially-rated, next generation, remotely programmable SIM card which works with multiple cellular providers (e.g. AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon, etc in the US; Vodafone, Deutsche Telekom, etc in Europe) and multiple networks (2G, LTE-M or NB-IoT) – out-of-the-box. For commercial service, US cellular providers usually require long-term contracts and high data fees in spite of a spotty service in many areas. Ohli works on their networks but we have negotiated a low rate, fixed for 5 years. And because we work with all major cellular providers, if service is spotty with one, we just switch to another provider with better coverage in that area, automatically.

The technology is all built-in, pre-packaged and bundled with the software and monitoring service you need to make it work first time. But best of all, Ohli Smart Lighting controllers sell for a fixed, one-time price with no extra roaming or other add-on charges. You know exactly how much you are paying for 5 years of service.

Ohli Nodes come with a 5-year CMS license (central management system) based on Dhyan’s StreetMan. Management, monitoring, cloud hosting, support, maintenance and updates are all included. And StreetMan can manage controllers from different manufacturers running different network protocols, all at the same time, so you are never locked in. Or locked out.

Ohli Smart Lighting uses TLS/AES to provide end-to-end encryption, the gold standard for protecting communication. Only the sender and the intended recipient can access the data – it is fully protected from hackers and unwanted third parties all the way from your smart light to the server.
