NB-IoT/LTE-M NEMA outdoor lighting controller
Product Overview
ACobi-NBNM is a Low Power Wide Area Cellular outdoor lighting controller, installed on a luminaire
using a standard NEMA street lighting connector.
ACobi-NBNM works straight out of the box, connecting directly to the existing cellular network without
the need for additional gateways, self-acquiring its GPS location and auto-commissioning into any TALQ
compliant Smart City Platform. Just like that, with no more complexity to the adoption of massive IoT
technology in the urban environments.
