Streetlighting Cabinets are distributed throughout the municipal area. This circumstance makes unfeasible the installation of wired communication networks. For this reason, practically all streetlighting Cabinets use wireless communication networks (radio) to communicate with the lighting management software platforms.

Among the possible alternatives for wireless communications, subject to international standards, there are basically two options: traditional 2G/4G cellular networks, and new IoT LPWAN (Low Power Wide Access Network) such as NB-IoT or LoraWAN. However, NB-IoT or LoRaWAN networks are not designed to communicate large amounts of information with high frequency, as required by any modern Cabitet Remote Management system, since to use them it would be necessary to limit the volume and frequency of the information reported from the Cabinet.

Therefore, although Tellink has all the options available, the use of 2G (GPRS) or 4G (LTE) cellular networks is recommended for communication with the streeetlighting Cabinets.
