How Acrel’s LoRaWAN metering Solution Revolutionized Indonesia’s Smart Street Lighting

In a vast urban landscape of a certain district in Jakarta, managing over 500 street lamps distributed across various streets posed a daunting challenge: fragmented coverage, high maintenance costs, and unreliable connectivity for real-time monitoring. Traditional solutions struggled with distance limitations and exorbitant cellular fees, until Acrel’s LoRaWAN metering solution for smart lighting as the game-changing answer.

The Challenge: A City of Dispersed Points

Jakarta’s streetlights stretch from dense downtown zones to remote coastal areas, creating a fragmented network where:

·Weak Signal Penetration: Traditional 4G/Wi-Fi failed in concrete-heavy neighborhoods and underground parking lots.

·Prohibitively High Costs: Deploying cellular modems for each node drained budgets.

·Manual Maintenance: Frequent battery replacements and on-site adjustments slowed response times.

Acrel’s LoRaWAN Solution: Seamless Connectivity at Scale

Acrel’sLoRaWAN Smart Street Lighting Systemtransformed Jakarta’s infrastructure with:
·Ultra-Long Range: Single gateway coverage of 1+ km in open areas, minimizing infrastructure deployment

·Ultra-Low Power: Sensors operating on 5-year batteries, slashing maintenance costs by 70%

·Centralized Control: Unified platform for 50,000+ nodes, enabling dynamic dimming, fault alerts, and energy usage analytics.

Why LoRaWAN Excels for Smart Lighting

Project Highlights

·Real-Time Monitoring: 24/7 voltage, current, and temperature tracking via Acrel’s LoRawan energy meter(model: ADW300-LW), ensuring proactive maintenance.

·Adaptive Dimming: Reduce energy use by 40% during low-traffic hours while maintaining safety.

·Disaster Resilience: Maintained 99.8% uptime during Jakarta’s monsoon season, thanks to LoRaWAN’s robust penetration in flood-prone zones.

Acrel’s LoRawan meter: The Heart of Smart Infrastructure

The ADW300-LW energy meter exemplifies innovation:

·Dual Connectivity: Combines LoRaWAN with 4G/Ethernet backhaul for redundancy.

·Seamless Integration: Compatible with existing SCADA systems and AWS/Azure cloud platforms.

Quote from Jakarta’s Municipal Engineer:
“Acrel’s  LoRaWAN system eliminated our connectivity headaches. Now, we manage 500 lights as effortlessly as 20.”
