Today’s wireless networked lighting controls offer a robust and sophisticated control option. Download this asset to learn more.

Today’s wireless networked lighting controls offer a robust and sophisticated control option for a wide range of new construction and retrofit applications. These systems provide the same extraordinary benefits as their wired controls system counterparts, including substantial energy cost savings, programmability, enhanced flexibility, maintenance efficiency, and the ability to leverage data harvested by connected sensors.

A challenge with wireless systems, however, is satisfying applications that require a high level of range, scalability, reliability, and responsiveness. To ensure performance that meets expectations, the control signal must be able to rapidly travel potentially long distances, including around obstructions such as corners, walls, elevators, and stairwells.

Autonomous Bridging Technology (ABT) from nLight® Lighting Controls was developed as a unique topology to achieve the benefits of both the mesh and star network, in its own unique and proprietary way.  ABT builds upon the company’s established and popular nLight system to dramatically expand the range, responsiveness, and scalability of its wireless controls solution. With nLight® AIR ABT from Acuity Brands® “one system fits all” – able to deliver the desired benefits of networked control to virtually any application in a wireless system, with the same confidence offered by wired systems.
