Project Background

This Ethiopia road corridor project adopted smart AC street lighting with a LoRa-based monitoring system to improve operational visibility after commissioning. Instead of relying on manual patrols, operators can check fixture status, receive fault alerts, and review basic runtime data through the platform—helping reduce downtime, prioritize maintenance, and keep multi-section corridors consistent in acceptance and ongoing operation.
Technical Configuration (Typical Range)
  • AC LED street lighting for urban corridors, designed for multi-section deployment consistency
  • LoRa-based monitoring network with gateway + cloud platform for status visibility and alarms
  • Typical mounting: 8m poles; spacing and sectioning documented for commissioning alignment
  • Dusk-to-dawn operation with scheduled dimming profiles (group control supported)
  • Commissioning notes: network registration, grouping rules, and profile verification recorded per section
  • Deliverables referenced: monitoring overview + configuration notes (BOQ available on request)

Scope & Assumptions

A concise summary of what this reference covers and the verification inputs behind it.
Scope (Urban Road Corridors)
  • Coverage: multi-section urban road corridors in Ethiopia (representative deployment)
  • Use case: government project requiring centralized visibility and consistent commissioning
  • Deliverables referenced: monitoring overview + configuration notes (BOQ on request)
  • Control approach: group-based schedules aligned to corridor sections and operating hours
Verification Inputs (Assumptions Documented)
  • Pole height: 8m (as referenced for this corridor)
  • Lighting type: AC LED luminaires (road corridor application)
  • Network: LoRa nodes + gateway; cloud platform for remote monitoring
  • Controls: dusk-to-dawn + scheduled dimming by groups/profiles
  • Commissioning: device ID mapping + group assignment verified per section (acceptance-ready records)
Detailed verification inputs can be shared in a redacted pack or under NDA for tender review.

Photos & Acceptance Notes

Field photos confirm the deployment is real. The notes below summarize typical site acceptance checks used by EPC teams to reduce rework and sign-off risk.

Field photos show representative installation and corridor results from the Ethiopia smart lighting deployment. The notes below summarize practical acceptance checks for AC LED + LoRa monitoring—helping teams keep commissioning consistent across sections.

✓ Mounting Interface
Bracket/arm and tilt verified against drawings (aiming/orientation noted).
✓ Wiring & Polarity
AC wiring, earthing, and gland sealing checked before energizing.
✓ LoRa Node & Gateway Link
Device joins network; RSSI/SNR and reporting interval verified on site.
✓ Device ID Traceability
Luminaire/driver/node ID recorded and mapped to pole/section list.
✓ Grouping & Dimming Profile
Groups assigned by corridor section; schedule applied and confirmed in dashboard.
✓ Fault Alerts & Status Check
Online status and basic alarms tested (sample nodes) for acceptance readiness.

Tip: Commissioning logs and device mapping tables can be shared in a redacted pack or under NDA for tender review.

FAQ (Tender & Verification)

Quick answers to common EPC / tender questions for this reference.
What documents can be shared for tender submission?
Typical shareable items include datasheet + GA/installation notes, control/monitoring overview, commissioning & acceptance checklist, and a reference BOQ structure. Project-specific packs can be shared in a redacted version or under NDA if required.
Do you provide IES files and layout assumptions for verification?
Yes—IES files can be provided for roadway optics verification. Layout assumptions (pole height, spacing approach, road class targets) are documented per section to support consultant review and tender alignment.
How do you handle multi-section corridors with different road classes?
We group corridor sections by road class and targets, then apply a documented configuration range (optics / wattage / spacing assumptions). Each section keeps its own notes so acceptance and reporting remain consistent across the whole corridor.
How does the LoRa monitoring work after installation?
Each luminaire is paired with a LoRa node and registered to the platform via gateway coverage. Operators can check online/offline status, view basic alarms, and apply group-based schedules. A commissioning record (device ID mapping + basic link check) is used for handover.
What inputs do you need to propose a similar smart lighting configuration?
Please share road class/width (or a simple sketch), target maintained lux & uniformity, pole height (e.g., 8m), section quantity, power supply conditions, and any tender checklist. If monitoring is required, include corridor length and reporting needs (groups, schedules, alarms).
