Forms An Access point forms the gateway between the wireless luminaires and the internet. It can be configured for one-way communication to monitor and review or two-way communication for remote configuration.
Installation
When installing an ACCESS POINT it’s important to consider the following:
Radius - the ACCESS POINT messages can hop between luminaires to extend the range but reliability reduces with the number of hops. It must be installed within range of the first luminaires and ideally within single hop range of at least 20 luminaires.
Location - it needs to be in the centre of the luminaires and not enclosed. ACCESS POINTs should not be installed in store or plant rooms or in the corner of large areas.
Quantity - ACCESS POINTs can communicate reliably with up to 1,000 luminaires. However, site specific conditions such as concrete, steels, machinery or thick walls will impact the quantity of luminaires which report to an individual ACCESS POINT.
Supply and Connection - ACCESS POINTs need a power supply and a connection to the internet. Glamox supply versions for 4G, Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection.

If you require additional coverage more ACCESS POINTs can be added at anytime and no additional commissioning will be required. Lights can report to more than one ACCESS POINT. |

Connections
ACCESS POINTs can be supplied with 4G connections or Ethernet and Wi-Fi adapters.
4G
A 4G add on pack is available supplied with 12 months data. At the end of the 12 month period, clients can maintain their own SIM contracts.
4G provides connectivity without involving the client’s IT infrastructure and is generally suitable for all environments which receive a mobile signal.
Monitoring uses approximately 1 Gb per 1,000 luminaires per month for monitoring with additional data used for.
Ethernet
Provides a free wired communication.
Ethernet is free from the interference of Wi-Fi networks, walls or other physical barriers.
When using this option it is important to consider the feasibility of installing Ethernet points across an existing building to ensure full coverage.
Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi provides a connection where it is difficult to install Ethernet points. When using this option is important to consider the stability of the Wi-Fi connection in the building. If the Wi-Fi drops out or the password is changed, then the ACCESS POINT will lose connection to the internet and, without providing an alternative connection, cannot be re-established.
