WWL will benefit from Cosmicnode’s innovative IoT platform, which provides robust wireless tech at your fingertips. This platform allows the user to adjust the precise light spectrum of thousands of LED lamps wirelessly in real-time. A range of innovative and responsive features automatically ensure the ideal environmental conditions and optimise energy consumption – including a lighting management system, occupancy and space management, asset tracking, and integration with Building Management Systems (BMS). Cosmicnode offers various plug-n-play wireless control devices including, DALI, 0-10V, PWM controllers, and a wide variety of sensors through their partner ecosystem.

This collaboration will benefit a range of customers and future projects easily allowing integration, reliable and robust wireless technology into schemes.

Vinay Hiremath, Co-founder of Cosmicnode commented: “We are proud to announce our partnership with World Wide Lighting and the ability to bring our wireless mesh and innovative IoT platform to their clients. Our vision and values are aligned, and we want to create smarter, greener building automation through combining our products and platforms. WWL’s leading LED lighting products, combined with our IoT platform, creates an innovative solution which increases operational and energy efficiency for clients. Moving on from expensive wired control systems, our wireless approach with smart predictive settings can provide a pioneering solution and offer a wealth of advantages for these industries without the need for additional software.”

Ed Huibers, CCO from WWL commented: “Our aim is to create sustainable spaces with our LED lighting products, and we are closer to this goal through this incredible collaboration with Cosmicnode. The automation of buildings creates smarter and greener spaces for the future, with the ability to optimise energy consumption and use lighting smartly and where it is needed. Tracking occupancy and space management will offer huge benefits for our clients in the industrial and office spaces, ensuring the correct environment for users while saving on costs and reducing carbon. The technology and support from Cosmicode makes this very easy.”

Quality of Service(QoS)

The best-in-class Quality of Service (QoS) – bandwidth and latency for a wireless mesh network depends on the specific application. Cosmicnode wireless mesh network designed for high-performance applications such as real-time control and monitoring.

Over-the-Air (OTA) firmware update

supports device Over-the-Air (OTA) firmware updates over the mesh network. This means that firmware updates can be pushed to all devices on the network without the need to manually update each device individually. OTA can be performed even if some of the devices on the network are offline.

Bi-directional communication

Near real-time bidirectional communication is a type of communication that allows data to be transmitted and received in both directions with minimal latency. This makes it ideal for applications where it is important to have a quick response time, such as real-time control and monitoring.

Efficiency & Collision Avoidance

Cosmicnode wireless mesh network uses a proprietary routing algorithm designed for efficiency and collision avoidance. This algorithm is based on a number of factors, including the distance between nodes, the quality of the links between nodes, and the current traffic load on the network. It is designed to find the most efficient path for data packets to travel. 

No Single Point of Failure

All mesh nodes in a network can communicate with each other directly, without the need for a central bridge or coordinator. This decentralized communication structure makes mesh networks highly resilient to failures and capable of scaling to large numbers of nodes. Every mesh node can be configured as a transmitter and a receiver, and can forward data packets to other nodes in the network.

Lowest single hop latency

Cosmicnode wireless mesh network has a single hop latency of 15ms. This is the time it takes for a data packet to travel from one mesh node to another. This is a very low latency, which makes Cosmicnode ideal for applications such as real-time control and monitoring.
  •   Efficient routing algorithms: Cosmicnode uses efficient routing algorithms to quickly find the best path for data packets to travel.
  •   Adaptive channel selection: Cosmicnode uses adaptive channel selection to choose the best channel for data transmission based on current conditions.

Highly reliable and scalable

A distributed, highly reliable, scalable, and bidirectional wireless mesh network is a type of network that is designed to be resilient to failures and to be able to handle a large number of devices. It is also designed to be able to communicate in both directions, which makes it ideal for applications such as real-time control and monitoring.

Multi Radio Technology BLE and 2.4GHz

Cosmicnode wireless mesh network uses BLE and 2.4GHz in a complementary way. BLE is used for low-power communication and mesh networking, while 2.4GHz is used for high-bandwidth communication. This combination of technologies allows the Cosmicnode wireless mesh network to provide a highly reliable, low latency, and scalable solution for a wide range of applications. BLE BLE is a low-power wireless technology that is well-suited for wireless mesh networks. BLE has a number of advantages for mesh networks, including:
  •  Low power consumption: BLE devices consume very little power, which is important for mesh networks where devices may be battery powered.
  •  Short-to-mid range: BLE devices can have a range of up to 100 meters in ideal conditions. This makes BLE suitable for mesh networks where devices may be spread out over a large area.
  •  Mesh networking support: BLE supports mesh networking out of the box, making it easy to create mesh networks with BLE devices.  
2.4GHz 2.4GHz is a high-bandwidth wireless technology that is well-suited for applications that require high data throughput. 2.4GHz has a number of advantages for mesh networks, including: High bandwidth: 2.4GHz devices can support data rates of up to 250 kbps. This makes 2.4GHz suitable for mesh networks where devices need to transfer large amounts of data, such as real-time video or audio. Long range: 2.4GHz devices can have a range of up to 1000 meters in ideal conditions. This makes 2.4GHz suitable for mesh networks where devices may be spread out over a large area.
