CeBIT: Huawei Debuts IoT Lighting PlatformHuawei took the wraps off of its Connected City Light Solution at CeBIT in Germany Wednesday, claiming that it's the first Internet of Things (IoT) street light solution for cities and municipalities. As its name suggests, Connected City Lighting connects street lights in a city and uses a GSIS-based management system to monitor and control the performance of every street lamp. (See Huawei Launches Connected City Lighting Solution .) By installing a connected controller on every street light, the platform allows city employees to control on/off switches and brightness for on-demand lighting and reduced energy consumption. The platform's sensors can work with third-party traffic and pedestrian flow sensors to adjust brightness based on the time of day or weather conditions. Instead of using WiFi, Huawei opted for 6LoWPAN technology for connectivity, which it said has lower power consumption and can automatically diagnose, network and troubleshoot problems. It also enables the interactions between street lamps and other IoT smart devices. Also at CeBIT, Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. announced that IMS Networks, a 15-year-old ISP that serves the south of France, was using its SD-WAN offering and routers for the transformation of its IP backbone.
