Abstract

A method and corresponding system is disclosed for use in a Networked Lighting Control System whereby communication costs (e.g. costs associated with LTE technologies), variable electric rates and traffic models are analyzed to maximize cost savings. In one example, the system consists of receiving cellular usage rates, electric usage rates, and generated traffic models or statistics to manage transmission and broadcast of usage rates to lighting poles. An apparatus associated with the lighting pole can then use this information to determine frequency of sending lighting commands to nearby poles.
