CIMCON announced that it has been awarded TALQ-2 certifications for both its LightingGale Central Management System (CMS) and Gateway.
The goal of the TALQ Consortium is to establish a globally accepted standard for management software interfaces to configure, command, control and monitor heterogeneous outdoor device networks, including streetlighting. The Consortium’s TALQ-2 smart city protocol simplifies the tender process for smart city applications by enabling cities to select a single CMS that is interoperable with devices from multiple suppliers; thus, providing cities with the flexibility that they need to best meet their specific smart city infrastructure needs.
TALQ-2 certification of CIMCON’s LightingGale CMS validates the interoperability of the LightingGale CMS with multiple third-party smart city sensors from a city’s streetlight infrastructure. CIMCON has invested hundreds of man years of development effort in creating its CM, and with this compliance, cities across the globe can take advance of its functionality to help simplify the management of their streetlight assets while reducing energy and operating costs.
CIMCON’s Gateway is a component in the transmission of data from multiple smart sensors and devices across the streetlight network. Certification of CIMCON’s Gateway attests to its ability to deliver the needed data for a city to make better informed decisions, by providing data when and where it is needed. For cities that have already implemented a CMS, CIMCON’s Gateway can still be deployed to enable transmission of data from multiple devices, as it is interoperable with multiple CMS. Overall, the Gateway allows a city to protect its investment in previously deployed solutions including aggregation and analytics for the streetlight network and diverse IoT sensors to enable the unlocking of the promised ROI of a truly integrated smart city.
To achieve certification, CIMCON was required to submit and have its CMS and Gateway tested using the TALQ Test Tool suite along with supporting documentation. Once the tests were successfully completed, results were sent to the TALQ Consortium for verification.
