LumenRadio has been developing wireless lighting controls for more than six years, and their products have been used around the globe on high profile events including the Coachella music festival, London Eye New Year's celebrations and the world tour of Wicked the musical.
Mira is a radio module for a meshed radio network with more than 500 devices, operating within the 2.4GHz frequency range. The network is self-healing, easy to configure and can be deployed in buildings even in heavily congested wireless environments. Thanks to LumenRadio's patented coexistence technologies, the mesh automatically selects the most appropriate frequencies based on other radio activity in the area, allowing the Mira system to operate alongside other wireless technologies seamlessly rather than constantly fighting for the limited available bandwidth. Mira provides a scalable infrastructure for networking sensors and actuators, via easy to implement interfaces.
At the heart of a Mira system is the Mira Module - a 18.5 x 33.5mm module designed for surface mount application which features an integral power amplifier, chip antenna and a complete, preconfigured software stack. Mira includes full commissioning capabilities built into the stack and operates an IPv6 based network enabling developers to access cloud services via simple APIs.
Niclas Norlen, CTO of LumenRadio, comments, "It has always been my vision that the coexistence technology we developed for lighting controls could have a much wider reach. With the launch of Mira, we can now offer coexistence to the much larger Internet of Things community. We have built a platform here which is expandable and upgradeable to future standards, yet also gives us the advantages of the LumenRadio patent portfolio. I'm extremely excited to be part of this technology evolution which we really believe will change the world."
LumenRadios CEO, Alexander Hellström, adds, "Every business can benefit from understanding the Internet of Things. Oeur technology is designed to be accessible and easy to implement, giving wireless access to sensors and actions across a scalable, future proof platform. The Internet of Things has already begun to change the world into a globally connected, automated, cognitive planet and Mira will definitely play a huge part of this as we roll it out with our partners. I can't wait to get it into more hands."
