SkylarkNet : the GDS Lighting platform for the remote control of lighting

For more than a century we have benefited from the public lighting service , which continues to support the evolution of our cities , providing street visibility and urban safety . Over the past few years this sector has been experiencing the thrilling application of remote control , which allows for the type and quantity of light to be adjusted remotely , according to criteria of economy , efficiency and visual comfort . The benefits of remote control also include reliable metering , monitoring and predictive maintenance systems that , thanks to the Internet of Things , fit into a broader framework and enable the management of Smart Cities . Drawing on the expertise gained in over 40 years of activity in the electronics , LED and telecommunications sectors , through continuous research and a strong system-testing capability , GDS Lighting has developed SkylarkNet , the remote control solution that stands out for its thoroughness and flexibility of use . SkylarkNet provides an invisible , constant , and smart connection between all lighting points within the network , making it a key tool for city management and efficiency .

GDS by Design : a single partner for a complete solution SkylarkNet is based on the luminaire manufacturer ’ s own experience and is therefore a platform that is 100 % integrated with the lighting system . This is a major asset when considering the ability to accurately identify , track and monitor all system components of the network – i . e . luminaires , nodes , gateways – in real time , enabling precise , immediate and cost-effective control and maintenance .
it can be easily extended to create new networks of interconnected objects .
A tailor-made ecosystem GDS has built connected systems on several continents and is well aware that each city has different needs and constraints , which require tailor-made planning . Starting with the collection of situation-specific data and their analysis , proposals and models are developed with a clear planning of results over time . The customisable features are not limited to the equipment , but also concern the firmware and software for the management interface , as well as connectors to other solutions for integrated data management , thereby creating an architecture that is functional to the customer ’ s needs .
Light for the cities of the future GDS Lighting believes in change through lighting and in LED technology as the foundation for the lighting of the future . If Smart City means offering citizens innovative services to improve and simplify the everyday life , SkylarkNet is the ideal platform on which to build a city where people , their needs and the environment are at the heart of urban development .
P Nodo e apparecchio illuminante , prodotti entrambi in-house da GDS Lighting , lavorano in perfetta sinergia all ’ interno dell ’ ecosistema SkylarkNet / The node and luminaire , both produced in-house by GDS Lighting , work in perfect synergy within the SkylarkNet ecosystem
Flexibility and interoperability SkylarkNet uses a star architecture , which guarantees lower energy consumption – transmitters are activated on-demand – and greater security , as each point operates independently . In addition , the system uses an 868 MHz network frequency signal , which ensures reliability and stability even with a crowded network . Based on standard transmission protocols , GDS Lighting ’ s solution is compatible and can be integrated with a variety of pre-existing city systems ; an open and expandable solution ,
