The LiTouch Base Station serves as a central hub for the individual control of luminaires equipped with LiTouch Nodes, enabling each luminaire to be monitored remotely for status and energy consumption. The system utilizes a licence-free 868/915 MHz radio channel for communication with the luminaires, allowing a single base station to manage up to 1000 nodes at distances of up to 5 kilometers, depending on terrain and building density. This long-range wireless connectivity ensures reliable control across large urban or industrial lighting networks while maintaining independence from other wireless networks.
Communication with the QULON server is supported through multiple channels, including 2G, 3G, and 4G mobile networks, as well as a wired Ethernet connection. Configuration and management of the base station are performed remotely using QULON software, providing seamless integration into smart lighting management systems and enabling real-time monitoring, data collection, and control. The unit is compatible with IoT environments, allowing wireless lighting networks to be fully incorporated into centralized software platforms for advanced analytics and management.
Mechanically, the LiTouch Base Station features a durable plastic and metal housing with dimensions of 302.6 mm in length, 321.3 mm (828.3 mm including mounting) in height, and 172.1 mm in width, weighing 7 kg. It is designed for mounting on pole lighting or vertical surfaces and is protected against dust and water ingress with an IP66 rating, allowing operation in harsh climate conditions. The device is powered by standard AC mains voltage ranging from 100 to 240 V at 50/60 Hz, with a maximum power consumption of 10 W, and operates safely across a wide temperature range from -40 to +70°C. Storage temperatures range from -50 to +80°C, and the device tolerates relative humidity up to 100%.
Connectivity options include an Ethernet port for local configuration, an 868/915 MHz antenna input for LiTouch communication, and serial interfaces including RS-485 and CAN. The unit is also equipped with GSM channels supporting 850, 900, 1800, and 1900 MHz bands and a GPS receiver for navigation and location services. LEDs provide clear indication of system status, including GSM, Ethernet, RS-485, and LiTouch activity, allowing easy diagnostics and monitoring on-site.
Certified to CE and RoHS standards and backed by a 36-month warranty, the LiTouch Base Station combines long-range wireless communication, durable weatherproof construction, and IoT integration capabilities to deliver a reliable, scalable, and intelligent solution for street lighting management. Its compact size, flexible mounting options, and support for independent wireless networks make it a robust choice for modern smart lighting infrastructures, enabling precise individual luminaire control and energy monitoring on a city-wide or industrial scale.
