Molex launches connected LED lighting system

27 January 2016 Opto-Electronics

Molex has become a Cisco Solutions Technology Integrator for connected commercial LED lighting, and gone a step further by creating the Transcend Connected Lighting System. Transcend sees Molex team up with luminaire manufacturers to accelerate deployment of smart LED lighting control using highly secure network architectures in commercial buildings, educational facilities, healthcare facilities, and manufacturing and warehouse facilities.

The system from Molex is an intelligent, low-voltage network that both powers and controls LED light fixtures and other devices. It also provides an array of applications that enable smart building convergence over IP. These applications feed multi-sensor data to a central host, providing building analytics and applications like real-time energy consumption, light status, temperature and humidity control, air quality monitoring and more.

Transcend solutions are built on a technology that is based on standard and proven PoE applications, such as data and VoIP. The control system is open, scalable, and supports IEEE802.3x standards. The collaboration with Cisco simplifies convergence with building automation systems over IP without compromising lighting reliability, security, efficiency, maintenance and system life.

The full solution will comprise lighting fixtures, gateways, sensor nodes, local controls, new Zhaga modules and lighting-specific control software.
