SACRAMENTO, Calif. July 11, 2018—McWong, a leading lighting and controls solutions provider, has received notification from the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) Progress Committee that the company’s PacWave® Smart Sensor Control Platform was accepted into the 2018 Progress Report.
The PacWave Smart Sensor Control Platform encompasses a range of occupancy and motion sensors, in-wall occupancy and dimming controllers, dimming power packs, fixture controllers, and mobile apps (Android and iOS) for remote configuration of sensor and dimming settings. It combines sensor-based detection with Bluetooth-ready control capabilities for a cost-effective and future-proof approach to indoor/outdoor lighting and beyond. With built-in Bluetooth beacon capability, the platform supports technology applications including indoor positioning and navigation, RTLS (real-time locating systems), and asset tracking.
“We’re very pleased with the Committee’s acknowledgment of our innovation,” notes Blane Goettle, Vice President of McWong. “Our PacWave technology enables significant advances in wireless control capabilities. Both the marketplace and our technology partners applaud this recognition.”
Progress Report acceptance is based on an impartial judging process used by the Committee to evaluate each submission on its uniqueness, innovation and significance to the lighting industry. The Committee will present this year’s Progress Report at the IES Annual Conference on August 10, 2018 in Boston MA. It will also be published in the November 2018 issue of LD+A magazine.
