Internet of Lighting for Smart Cities

Abstract

The term smart is an acronym for the five components, which are unique, observable, practicable, appropriate and time-based. The Internet of Things (IoT) identifies the widespread and increasing number of wireless devices as the trillions of networks of a potentially global scale running today. When the planet expands quicker, people are drawn to this clever term. India is one of the world’s fastest-growing economies. The IoT offers innovative services and stimulates market shifts. The lighting industry often welcomes this transition by developing an Internet of Lighting (IoL). The term smart lighting describes three important design attributes: advanced control, solid state, and broad network connectivity in accordance with international standards. It provides an optical networking gateway as an additional function that enables coexistence with traditional Wi-Fi. In this context, various IoT-compatible wireless communication interfaces are being used to meet the lighting’s needs. Related IoT systems are forecasted to expand dramatically in the entire smart housing and industrial sectors in the coming years. This paper presents the numerous options for creating and implementing IoT-based smart lighting solutions, issues related to interoperability and on-line services are addressed.
