REACH is a LoRaWAN based intelligent control system for commercial site lighting and municipal street lighting. This product debuted on Comcast’s Machine QTM network in the United States. A single gateway using LoRa Technology enables deep penetration capability for dense urban environments, while also providing the ability to connect to end-devices 10+ miles away. This will allow REACH to communicate using single-hop wireless communication with hundreds of thousands of IoT devices at distances that far surpass anything available on the market today.

what is the “Internet of Things”?The “Internet of Things” is the concept of connecting and controlling any device via internet connection. The IoT connection network is estimated to become over 50 Billion devices by 2020. This giant network of “things” allows for countless connections that will greatly impact how we work efficiently now and in the future.

lora technologyLoRa™ is a long range, low power radio frequency communication technology that allows exceptionally quick and cost-efficient smart device deployment and operation over large geographical areas that were previously too challenging or cost prohibitive to connect. Compared to Mesh RF/GPRS communication technologies, REACH with

its unique penetration capability and Comcast machineQ™ infrastructure can connect to IoT devices more than 10 miles.

the networkLoRaWAN network architecture is typically laid out in a star-of-stars topology as opposed to the commonly used “mesh” network. In a mesh network, data from the individual control devices hops from device to device to increase the communication range of the network. While this increases the range, it also adds complexity and reduces network capacity.

reach technologyREACH utilizes LoRaWAN Class C technology and low power, wide area networks (LPWAN) based on the LoRaWAN protocol to provide a smart sensing and control infrastructure which allows users to collect and analyze data from connected devices in a streamlined manner.

the standardsREACH is an all-in-one auto sensing 120V-480V unit that meets the needs of any site under any circumstance. NEMA 7 Pin (ANSI C136.41) and hardwire versions are both available. Devices come standard with revenue grade metering, back up photocell autonomy, auxiliary input (for motion control), ambient temperature sensors, diagnostic LED, and GPS free geolocation.

scheduling and commisioning REACH includes pre-loaded energy management schedules for immediate use, that can be custom tailored at any time during and after install. Installers have three ways of commissioning: smart device application delivered via Near Field Communication (does not require device to be powered), Bluetooth Low Energy, and OTA programming via secure web portal giving more flexibility to the end user while reducing provisioning time.

web portal interfaceUsing Microsoft’s Azure™ cloud, REACH hosts a secure web portal to record historical information and provide a real-time user interface. Highly interactive and user friendly, the software provides powerful management and reporting tools. It allows users to control different end points individually, by groups/schedules, and receive notifications on devices operating out of specification. Historical reporting, energy savings, and fixture audit reports are just a few of the “on demand” reports available with REACH. Universities, retail centers, auto dealerships, sports stadiums, and cities can manage and monitor a large number of fixtures, groups of fixtures, users or scheduled actions with ease. The web portal offers full scalability for a virtually unlimited number of fixtures and integrating all the processes and correlative functions needed for a state-of-the-art lighting management system.
