Sensity
Systems, the pioneer of Light Sensory Networks (LSNs), today
announced an expansion of the NetSense Partner Program that is designed
to make it easier and more cost-effective for companies to deliver
global Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions. The program
expands beyond lighting manufacturer partners to help enable commercial
and industrial manufacturers and service providers to deliver on the
promise of IoT. Cisco Systems (NASDAQ: CSCO), the global leader in
networking equipment and services, as well as Acuity Brands (NYSE: AYI),
one of the world’s leading providers of LED lighting solutions for both
indoor and outdoor applications, both recently announced strategic
partnerships with Sensity under this program.
“The world is enamored with the possibilities that are unlocked by the
Internet of Things, but understanding how to execute and where to start
is the real barrier to adoption. Today, Sensity has changed the game by
delivering a comprehensive and systematic strategy for using LED
lighting installations and cloud technology as a cost-effective backbone
for IoT applications worldwide,” said Hugh Martin, Chairman and CEO of
Sensity. “The expanded NetSense Partner Program is an important part of
our open strategy to enable players, both large and small, to deliver
game-changing solutions that leverage Industrial IoT.”
NetSense Partner Program Drastically Reduces Time-To-Service of IIoT
Initiatives
Sensity enables partners to deliver on the promise of the industrial IoT
by providing them with the following core NetSense platform components
as a turnkey solution:
-
A common set of wirelessly connected, IP-addressable sensor nodes with
embedded analytics deployed efficiently and cost-effectively via LED
infrastructure.
-
A cloud-based data warehouse designed for limitless scale that
receives, organizes and stores real-time and historical data from
sensory nodes deployed globally.
-
A comprehensive set of application programming interfaces (APIs) that
provide developers access to raw as well as meta data from NetSense
nodes to enable a broad array of applications and services, including
lighting control, video-based security, smart parking, traffic
management and location services.
-
A managed service to ensure sensor nodes, network elements, and APIs
are all managed, secure and highly available.
Sensity’s NetSense Nodes are wirelessly connected and forms the
foundation for the NetSense platform. NetSense Nodes are sleek,
ruggedized hardware devices that are packed with sensors—including video
sensors as an option—and embedded analytics that are integrated into LED
luminaires. Nodes can be located inside the luminaire enclosures or
easily affixed to the exterior of light fixtures using an
industry-standard NEMA receptacle. To enable NetSense Partners, NetSense
Nodes leverage standards-based networking (Wi-Fi, TCP/IP) to transport
sensor data to the cloud. By creating a standard connection between the
NetSense Nodes and the network infrastructure, NetSense Partners can
create an end-to-end IoT platform for application development without
custom integration work.
The Sensity NetSense platform provides a ‘center of gravity’ for all
kinds of industrial IoT solutions. In addition to the sensory node
integration flexibility, NetSense also provides on-board (native) video
sensors and storage for performing real-time analytics on raw
high-definition (HD) video streams for traditional applications such as
extending security perimeters, while also enabling entirely new services
such as real-time parking availability, traffic reporting and operations
management.
“Sensity’s success with commercial & retail property owners, leading
municipalities, airport facilities and ports, and large sporting venues
has proven the value of the NetSense platform,” said Sean Harrington,
Sensity’s SVP of Marketing and Business Development. “Our NetSense
Partner Program is designed to enable companies to quickly and easily
adapt their products and services into IoT solutions by leveraging
Sensity’s technology.”
