II.The Objectives of ROAM
ROAM is known as the absolute solution to streetlight issues. ROAM delivers through the utilization of machine-to-machine technology (M2M) to construct detailed accounts of monitored events regarding product performance. ROAM comes equipped with patented analytical photocell intelligence coupled with wireless access to provide clients with a complete detailing of the health and performance levels of their lighting systems.
In order to maintain constant wireless connectivity from ROAMs operators and their lighting products/systems and clients, smart photo controls and smart wireless technology are used in place of standard photo control systems in the lighting fixtures/systems which then function as a gateway connection to as much as two thousand photo controls. These photo controls, upon activation, continually communicate with the system, taking data gathered, from wattage consumption to mechanical failures, and sends this information to the ROAM Network Operation Center for immediate assessment and response.
ROAMs sustainable lighting solutions are field-tested and are perfectly compatible with both small and large lighting systems. This ensures that even the latest in ROAMs data monitoring and management technology remains updated and efficient energy and cost-wise.
III.ROAM and Sustainable Lighting
