7.1 Common description
The device is designed as a JOOBY AVENUE front cover (picture 7.1), for a JOOBY
AVENUE luminaire, with an inbuilt control board and, depending on the embodiment, may contain a
motion sensor, lighting sensor and a GPS receiver.
The device is connected to luminaire via system connector.

7.2 LoRaWAN
LoRa modulation defines the physical level of data transfer, while LoRaWAN ™ is an opened
protocol for high capacity networks (up to 1 000 000 devices in a single network), long range networks
and low power consumption, which LoRa Alliance had standardized for low-consumption global
networks (Low Power Wide Area Networks, LPWAN). LoRaWAN has the star network topology and
includes different classes (A, B, C) for optimizing compromise between data delivery speed and
battery powered work time.
“ASC” control devices are devices of C-class.
The protocol provides a two-way encrypted connection for all classes of devices. The protocols
architecture is also developed for easily finding mobile objects for tracking devices –the most fast-
growing direction of IoT (Internet of things) applications.
7.3 Short Range Channel
Channel for quick connection in short distances. Intended for connection of luminaires set near
to each other without any duty cycle restrictions. Uses LoRa type modulation.
7.4 Wi-Fi
Intended for local connection of cellphone, tablet or notebook for accessing system settings,
software update and direct system control. Devices with embedded Wi-Fi can work as an accesses
point and as a node of local network.
7.5 GPS
GPS option allows the device to receive coordinates of the luminaire and synchronize the
precise time and astronomical calendar.
