Infrastructure that responds to the real world.

iLCS connects every luminaire, electrical cabinet, meter and sensor across cities, industrial sites and buildings — and keeps each of them within reach, in real time.

What happens in the field is continuously measured and translated into action. Lighting adapts to traffic and actual demand. Electrical cabinets are monitored and controlled remotely. Consumption anomalies become alarms tonight — not unexpected costs on next quarter's invoice.

Every action is recorded. Every result is measurable.

What makes it different

One network in the field, and everything running on it.

The usual way to digitise infrastructure is one system per service: a platform for the lights, SIM cards for the sensors, something else for the cabinets. We put them on the same devices, the same radio and the same data model.

LIGHTING CABINETS AIR · NOISE WATER MOBILITY BUILDINGS ONE MESH NETWORK — EVERY DEVICE REACHED IN REAL TIME, DECISIONS TAKEN ON THE STREET
LIGHTINGCABINETSAIR · NOISEWATERMOBILITYBUILDINGS

One mesh network — every device reached in real time, decisions taken on the street.

No subscription per device

About six gateways carry a thousand luminaires. The network belongs to you.

It works with the link down

Dimming, schedules and safety fallbacks are decided at the edge, not in the cloud.

One service more is one sensor more

Power, poles and coverage are already there — and so is the platform behind them.

How the network works →

Street lights, electrical cabinets, plants and buildings run around the clock. Most are still managed blind.

Lighting

Every luminaire visible, controlled and adapted to the road.

Full-adaptive lighting, remote control and standalone profiles — on one network.

Energy & Infrastructure

Every cabinet visible. Every kilowatt-hour explained.

Cabinets, feeder pillars and plant switchboards: metering per line, alarms, switching with local override — in a city or inside a factory.

City & Building Services

One network, many services.

Air, water, safety, mobility, energy sub-metering and building operations — for a city, a campus or an industrial site.

Adaptive lighting · spearhead

Light that follows the road, not the clock.

Traffic, road luminance and weather are measured at a few points on the street. iLCS picks the lighting class the standard still allows and dims every luminaire to it — decided at the roadside, even with no internet.

01 · MEASURE

Traffic, luminance, weather

Radar and optical sensors on a few poles, plus a weather station per stretch.

02 · DECIDE

The class the standard allows

EN 13201 / UNI 11248 applied minute by minute, at the roadside — never below the design class when data is missing.

03 · ADAPT

Every luminaire, in real time

Slow ramps on the mesh network; the whole group reacts in milliseconds.

Energy & Infrastructure

Your electrical cabinets, no longer blind.

One edge controller turns a feeder pillar into a measured, controllable asset: certified metering, alarms on protections and doors, line switching from anywhere — and an override for whoever is standing in front of it.

City & Building Services

One network, many services.

The network that runs the lights is already on every street and inside every site. The same network and the same platform carry other services — with one view and normalised data.

Air quality, noise and traffic node — installed site, Germany

Environment & air quality

PM, noise, weather and traffic on the pole you already own.

Water & flooding

Levels, pumps and basins, with alarms that reach the people on call.

Safety & occupancy

Presence, access and events, tied to what the lighting already knows.

Mobility & parking

Traffic counts, outdoor parking and charging points.

Building operations

Indoor lighting, HVAC signals, meters and technical alarms.

Each service is marked as available or integrable, so you know what runs today.

Technology

Its own network, not a phone contract.

Every luminaire gets light levels and road data at least once a minute over a 2.4 GHz mesh built for the street: no SIM per lamp, no per-lamp subscription, and control that survives a lost connection.

CLOUD NODES ON THE LUMINAIRES · MESH 2.4 GHz GATEWAY ~6 gateways per 1,000 luminaires · each node reaches several others, so the network finds its own route — and another one when a node fails
EDGE

Decides on the street

Nodes on the luminaires and controllers in the cabinets keep running offline, with signed firmware.

NETWORK

A mesh you own

IEEE 802.15.4 at 2.4 GHz, self-healing, no per-lamp SIM and no per-lamp fee.

CLOUD

Your data, exportable

Hosting in your country or on-premise, open APIs, export in standard formats.
