NB-IoT technology
NarrowBand Internet of Things (NB IoT) is a standards based
low power wide area (LPWA) technology developed to enable
a wide range of new IoT devices and services.
NB-IoT stands for Narrowband Internet of Things.
• It’s a cellular technology specifically designed for low-power, wide-area networks (LPWANs) used in the Internet of Things (IoT).
• Think of it as a specialized branch of 4G/5G that excels at connecting a massive number of devices with minimal energy consumption.
Key Features:
• Low Power Consumption: Devices can operate for years ensuring reliable connectivity in challenging environments.
• Wide Area Coverage: Provides extensive coverage, even in rural areas and remote locations with limited cellular infrastructure.
• High Device Density: Supports a large number of devices connected within a small area.
• Low Cost: Relatively inexpensive to implement and maintain.
How it Works:
• NB-IoT utilizes existing cellular infrastructure but operates on a narrowband spectrum, optimizing it for low-power devices.
• It leverages power-saving techniques to minimize energy consumption, such as power-down modes and efficient signaling.
Zhaga Socket
ZSC150 series are the most advanced products in our Zhaga Smart Controller family. The controller comes standard with GPS, LUX sensor and uses Dali 2.0 specification. The ZSC150 is equipped with a nano SIM card holder, allowing the end user to choose the NB-IoT provider. Based on the MQTT network protocol, the current status can be monitored in real time and a day/weekly schedule can be easily applied.
The technological core of our smart solutions.
This document serves as a comprehensive Knowledge Base for anyone looking to understand how modern intelligent street lighting works in the hands of OMS Lighting. It provides a detailed overview of our system architecture – from Zhaga-socket luminaires and smart electrical distribution boxes, to EDGE controllers, integration frameworks, and the digital brain of the entire platform: CitySys.
Inside, you'll find in-depth insights into:
-
how NB-IoT luminaires and connectivity function,
-
what role the EDGE unit plays in control and data collection,
-
how electrical distribution boxes support Smart City infrastructure,
-
how system integration is achieved through the CitySys framework,
-
and what centralized monitoring, management, and data analytics look like via the Performance Dashboard and 3D Digital Twin interface.
This document is made for engineers, partners, and customers who want to go beyond the surface – to see how a single luminaire becomes part of a smart, connected, and efficiently managed urban ecosystem.
