LiteMesh-Cloud – Wireless Emergency Monitoring System

LiteMesh® is Liteplan’s wireless emergency lighting operating system gathering data from DALI compliant emergency lighting control gear. The system creates a secure, robust mesh using IQRF long range mesh technology. The data is sent via the cloud to a browser based user interface portal. This portal features a simple floor plan layout of each level of the building showing the exact location of each emergency light fitting or exit sign. Being cloud based, LiteMesh is perfect for multi-building schemes that can by managed on one holistic platform. As the DALI control gear carries out its function test on a monthly basis and duration test on an annual basis, compliance reports are generated through the portal. These reports can be sent to various individuals, but are also securely held for a five year period. In addition to this, real time fault reporting is also generated, indicating what part requires replacement and its exact location, allowing for a fix first time resolution. One of the main features of the system is the installer led commissioning tool. This strong, contractor friendly tablet, features our amazing LiteWork® software that allows the scheme to be commissioned in a fraction of the time of traditional emergency lighting monitoring systems. Each emergency light fitting or exit sign is placed onto the pre-installed floorplan as its operator navigates their way around the building. Once this plot has been completed, the information is automatically sent directly to the portal via the cloud. Grouping and scheduling of emergency lighting tests is handled via the portal user, minimising time spent on site. As LiteMesh® operates with the IQRF wireless protocol, the system can also incorporate other IQRF Alliance members’ product. For example, if one needed to monitor temperature, air quality, footfall, drain levels etc. there will be Alliance members who are experts in those respective fields that will be able to help. This can be the beginning of the journey into a complete holistic smart building.

Ordering Codes

Order Code Description

LiteMesh-Cloud – Wireless Emergency Monitoring System

Specifications

  • Scalable from Small Schemes to Large Installations
  • Compatible with any Manufacturer's DALI Control Gear
  • Compatible with Other IQRF Alliance Products
  • Simple Installation and Commissioning Process
  • Robust and Secure Mesh Technology

The LiteMesh network uses the IQRF protocol. This features mesh hopping capability. A secure, scalable and resilient mesh network. The network becomes stronger, the more it grows.

Technical Mesh Data:

IQMESH® routing protocol utilising optimised directional flooding brings outstanding network robustness

IQRF® DPA commands (a standardising language) assure simple integration and interoperability

OTA (Over-The-Air) service enables remote centralised network management lowering maintenance costs. All network communication is encrypted with AES-128.

Multilayer security based on industry standard 128-AES is extended by dynamic keys generation and exchange which makes wireless communication significantly more immune to cyber-attacks.

FRC® (Fast Response Commands) dramatically increases network throughput and reliability.

SW: OS + DPA + Appl. + SDK

Band: 433 / 868 / 916 MHz

Network topology: Mesh

Range (device to device): 500+ meters line of sight, up to 100 meters within a building.

Range (device to gateway): Tens of kilometres

Native multi-hop: 240 hops per packet

Routing algorithm: Optimised directional flooding

Security: Multilayer, AES-128, dynamic keys

Directionality: Bi-directional

End Devices OTA Management: for all operations needed

Main benefit: easy adoption / reliability

With 240 hops and robust routing, IQRF® is the best fit for large control applications, such as street lighting, emergency lighting or parking, where reliability and security is a must.

Each mesh hops data to the gateway which then reports to the cloud platform which can be viewed at any location via a web browser. The gateways are persistent without communication. Therefore, if for any reason communication is lost, data is held at the gateway until the signal is re-established.

The LiteWay gateway requires connection to the internet. This can be handled through an existing local area network, or via a separate 4G router.
