Event review: CISCO and PHILPS push smart lighting platform

In December 9th, the global lighting leader PHILPS and the global IT giant CISCO announced the creation of a modern office space networking energy conservation, building efficiency and productivity of new global strategic alliance. The alliance will integrate PHILPS's LED connection lighting system and CISCO IT Internet, to build up to 1 billion euros worth of global office lighting market.

Given the ubiquity of lighting, lighting has become one of the easiest ways to bring things to the office. PHILPS systems equipped with sensors and software applications can be connected by CISCO's technology. This kind of lighting network creates a channel for information and makes the new service possible.

Global alliance of things will help customers get the best lighting and lighting industry can provide IT. In addition, PHILPS and CISCO will cooperate on joint marketing strategy.

Said the senior vice president of PHILPS lighting strategy and marketing director Bill Bien: "our alliance will put the world's two largest the most trusted brand lighting and the combination of common animal networking into the global office and commercial buildings. Users will get the world's best energy-saving lighting experience, and access to information from the Internet lighting system to reduce costs, improve productivity and optimize the working space environment. Internet highly secure lighting and IT infrastructure will become the backbone of the future of intelligent office. "

PHILPS and CISCO, the company's common goal is to accelerate the layout of the lighting market technology, and provide greater connectivity, comfort and efficiency, the formation of the most innovative features of modern architecture.

"The world is becoming more and more digital, and by working with PHILPS, we can help owners more quickly carry out digital lighting network processing, in order to achieve a better user experience and efficiency. By working with PHILPS, we provide reliable PoE powered LED lighting solutions for users through a highly secure IT network. "CISCO and CISCO executive sponsor Edwin Paalvast said PHILPS cooperation.

Lighting is a reasonable way to bring the Internet of things into a global enterprise. Equipped with sensors connected lighting can be intelligent sensing and measurement environment. For example, the occupancy sensor in the system can provide space utilization information to help reduce costs.

Under normal circumstances, lighting accounts for about 40% of the building electricity consumption. PHILPS LED lighting system through management, integration and control of the CISCO network connection can achieve nearly 80% of the energy savings and reduce the cost of building maintenance.

In order to make the office more comfortable, office workers can adjust their personal preferences and tasks based on LED lighting. For mobile Internet access, office workers can use smart phone applications to connect to a communications network to access other building services.

In order to show how PHILPS and CISCO to showcase the advantages of the office of the Internet of things, CISCO headquarters in Toronto, Canada, the world's most advanced installation of PHILPS lighting system.

"The possibility of connecting the lighting system is unlimited," said Limited, senior project manager at CBRE, a commercial real estate and investment services firm. The lighting system has many of the features we have not yet explored. "

The current LED lighting is not only able to provide competitive performance parameters, but also has incomparable advantages over the traditional lighting in controlling and connecting the quality of the light environment
