CIMCON Lighting Launches Revolutionary NearSkytm Platform for Smart Cities


BOSTON, Nov. 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- CIMCON Lighting, the leading global provider of Intelligent Lighting and Smart City technologies, today announced the launch of its NearSkytm platform and NearSkytm 360 product line. The NearSkytm platform brings the "Internet of Outdoor Things" within a city's reach by enabling a myriad of devices, sensors, and applications across a broad range of citywide and smart grid networks to further realize the vision of a true Smart City.

Smart lighting is the gateway application to the Smart and Connected City. The NearSkytm platform helps cities and utilities monitor, meter, manage and monetize the streetlight and other assets affixed to the streetlight pole and those located near the pole.  Applications such as small cell deployments, LPWAN access, threat and situational awareness, environmental monitoring and other public safety applications can now be easily added to any Smart City deployment.

CIMCON's NearSkytm 360 accelerates a city's evolution to "smart" by providing a sturdy, scalable backbone for city data from sensors, controls and devices on or near any streetlight pole. A simple "plug and play" installation enables NearSkytm 360 to easily capture, aggregate and communicate sensor data from a variety of devices in a variety of Smart City and AMI networks. NearSkytm 360 also provides external power and communication interfaces, metering for billing or chargeback and edge processing for these devices.

"Our NearSkytm platform and NearSkytm 360 product family continues CIMCON's proud heritage of technology innovation," said Anil Agrawal, CEO, CIMCON Lighting.  "NearSkytm provides a city with true insight into its operations and the capability to quickly make changes that will further increase operational efficiency, reduce energy costs, protect the environment, improve public safety, and ultimately improve the quality of life for residents."
