Interact, Signify's connected lighting platform Connected lighting systems combine connected luminaires, sensors, and other lighting system devices with Signify's Interact software and services. Because they embed two-way data communications, connected lighting system devices participate in the Internet of Things (IoT). As connected lighting systems become more deeply embedded in core building and street lighting networks, security implementations, processes and responsibilities are more crucial and therefore more valuable. Interact employs state-of-the-art cybersecurity measures at all layers of the system architecture. From secure system development, to device, network and cloud security, system monitoring, and secure device updates. write your comments about the article :: © 2020 Construction News :: home page |
