GreenWave Reality Announces Partnership With NXP Semiconductors to Deliver Breakthrough, Connected Lighting Solution
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Scalable, IP-Based Platform Provides Consumers and Commercial Customers With
Advanced Lighting Controls to Dramatically Reduce Energy Consumption
IRVINE, CA and COPENHAGEN, DENMARK and SINGAPORE--(Marketwire - May 16, 2011) -
GreenWave Reality, an innovator in home energy management and automation
systems, today announced that it has partnered with NXP Semiconductors
(NASDAQ:NXPI) to provide a breakthrough, intelligent lighting control and
management solution that can be utilized by manufacturers of energy-efficient
compact fluorescent (CFL) and solid state (SSL) lighting. This connected
lighting platform, combined with NXP's GreenChip(TM) smart lighting solution,
enables consumers and commercial customers to simplify their lives and conserve
energy by way of automated lighting controls. This extends the GreenWave Reality
energy management platform that communicates with smart meters to gather total
usage of electricity and gas, and also allows for control of consumer
electronics, appliances, electric vehicles, heating and cooling within the home.
GreenWave Reality's scalable, IP-based platform wirelessly connects NXP
GreenChip-enabled light bulbs, running JenNet-IP software, to provide users with
a feature-rich lighting experience. Users can dim or turn lights on and off
using Home, Away, and Night Smart Controls from any combination of devices such
as a PC, smartphone, and even a TV. The GreenWave Reality solution further
simplifies consumers' lives by extending the lighting Smart Controls to work
with light or motion sensors without requiring any re-wiring of the home. For
example, a Smart Control can adjust indoor lighting according to outdoor
lighting conditions. Other Smart Controls can automatically turn lights off when
no one is in a room. Similarly, these advancements are extended to commercial
and hospitality customers who can reduce on-going lighting and related
maintenance costs with this advanced lighting control system. The application
can be used stand-alone or as part of the GreenWave Reality energy management
solution.
"Now consumers and commercial customers can easily and cost effectively reduce
their energy consumption associated with lighting, saving them money,
simplifying their lives, and making a positive impact on the environment," said
Greg Memo, CEO, GreenWave Reality. "GreenWave Reality -- in conjunction with NXP
GreenChip technology -- redefines lighting by providing an advanced control and
management solution built on an IP-based platform. This connected lighting
application adds another key component to our end-to-end energy management
solution delivering additional value for our customers."
Scalable, Secure IP-based Platform
The GreenWave Reality end-to-end solution is built on highly-scalable, secure
IP-based network platform that consists of a home area network (HAN) which
connects to a smart meter or meter reading device integrated with a rich set of
cloud-based services for consumers and utilities. At the heart of the solution
is the concurrent radio Gateway that supports Z-Wave®, ZigBee® and now 6LoWPAN
to create a mesh-based HAN. The HAN supports smart PowerNodes(TM), lighting, and
in-home displays making their homes smart, energy conscious, and controllable.
The intuitive and engaging consumer application can be accessed within the home
or remotely via the Internet or a smartphone. The GreenWave Reality platform
also supports the control of high-load devices such HVAC systems, heat pumps,
water heaters, and electric vehicles enabling real-time, demand response
applications for utilities.
GreenChip Smart Lighting Solution
The GreenWave intelligent lighting platform supports NXP's GreenChip smart
lighting solution running JenNet-IP, the industry's most advanced IPv6-based
6LoWPAN stack. JenNet-IP provides a robust self-healing network that is proven
to work with hundreds of nodes. These advancements in lighting from NXP and
GreenWave Reality create innovative new business models and revenue
opportunities for partners and other lighting manufacturers.
"The GreenChip Smart Lighting solution signals a fundamental shift in the way we
interact with lights -- at home, in the office, even outdoors," said John
Croteau, senior vice president and general manager, power lighting solutions and
high performance RF, NXP Semiconductors. "By partnering with GreenWave Reality,
we are providing a breakthrough, connected lighting application that combines
wireless IP connectivity with our energy-efficient lighting technology in a
compact, low-cost solution."
Additionally, TCP, a leading manufacturer of CFL and LED lamps in North America,
has been an early adopter of smart lighting technology and formed a partnership
with GreenWave Reality and NXP for an intelligent lighting solution for both its
connected CFL and LED lamps.
Beginning tomorrow at LIGHTFAIR International, GreenWave Reality and its
partners NXP, TCP and Bridgelux will be showcasing a consumer-ready, Internet-
enabled smart lighting solution powered by the GreenWave Reality platform in the
NXP booth (2823), TCP booth (2659) and Bridgelux booth (3311).
