Networked lighting infrastructure for sensing applications

摘要

A network using existing streetlights is described. Each street light becomes a node in the network, and each includes a power terminal for receiving electrical power, a light source coupled to the power terminal, a processor coupled to the power terminal, a network interface coupled between the processor and the network of lighting systems, and a sensor coupled to the processor for detecting a condition at the node, and in response providing information about that condition to the processor.

1. A gateway node platform for a network of lighting systems comprising a plurality of node platforms at least some of which represent lighting nodes, the plurality of node platforms in communication with a service platform through the gateway node platform, the service platform is associated with multiple applications, comprising:
a power input terminal for receiving electrical power; a network interface for allowing communication with the plurality of node platforms via a local area network (LAN) and with the service platform via a wide area network (WAN), the network interface including a media module for receiving media data; a memory device for storing instructions; and a processor coupled to the power input terminal and the network interface, the processor, which, when executing the instructions, causes the system to perform operations comprising: performing analytics data processing related to the media data in response to the media data received by the media module; producing analytics data related to the media data; and transmitting the analytics data to the service platform via the WAN for utilization by at least one of the multiple applications associated with the service platform.
