R.O.A.M. - Remote Operations Asset Management

The public counts on the reliability of utility and municipality lighting systems for safety, security, and visual acuity. On average, 5-10 percent of light fixtures on a given system are not working at any one time. This results in customers being billed for services they are not receiving, and excessive energy consumption and costs through day-burning light fixtures.

In the past, lighting system owners and operators were unable to quickly detect, repair and manage problems within their lighting systems. They also could not provide the levels of service expected by the public. Now, with ROAM products and services, you can.

ROAM is an innovative asset management system designed to remotely monitor and control outdoor lighting fixtures. ROAM pairs intelligent photo controls with proven wireless communication technology to establish connectivity between lighting system operators and the assets they manage.

Backward Compatibility

Wireless Network

Secure Data Management

ROAM uses an intelligent photocontrol with an embedded wireless communication chip. The photocontrol is backward compatible with light fixtures featuring a locking type receptacle.

During installation, crews activate individual ROAM photocontrols, triggering the assignment of a GPS coordinate so that fixture location is recorded in the system.

Also during activation, key fixture attributes such as lamp type and wattage can also be captured, supporting improved asset management and maintenance efficiencies.

Once installed, ROAM photocontrols communicate via a wireless transceiver to other intelligent photocontrols within their vicinity, creating a self-configuring, self-healing, and self-optimizing wireless network that exchanges data between photocontrols on an event driven-basis.

ROAM’s self-networking technology is superior to traditional information technology networks, increasing the overall system durability, reliability, and simplicity.

Lighting data from individual photocontrols travels back to a central collection point or gateway, where information is collected and transmitted to a highly secure Network Operations Center.

Lighting data is organized and available to customers 24/7 via secure internet web portal.

ROAM technology is designed to reduce overall operation costs and improve service efficiency. ROAM eliminates the need for patrolling and delivers precise locations to crews; drastically reducing driver "windshield time" and improving their ability to repair the outage on the first visit.

Maximize Material Utilization ROAM provides a cost effective alternative to group relamping by eliminating the premature replacement of lamps and photocontrols. ROAM also allows lighting system operators the opportunity to track material usage and compare equipment performance.
Reduce Energy Consumption Through remote monitoring and control, owners and operators can identify and repair malfunctioning photocontrols that cause lights to burn during the day. Light fixtures can also be turned off during select hours of operation when there is little activity within an area. Photocontrol light sensors can also be adjusted remotely to optimize performance.
Increase Customer Satisfaction Since ROAM enabled lights are "self reporting", owners and operators are made aware of malfunctioning lights prior to a customer complaint, increasing customer satisfaction and safety. Implementing a ROAM system also provides owners and operators with an audit of assets, further improving repair efficiency and billing accuracy.
Capitalize on Proven Technology ROAM pairs proven diagnostic photocontrol technology with wireless communication to create an innovative asset management solution for lighting system operators.
