anyCOMM

anyCOMM Corporation is an innovative global enterprise committed to providing clean technology and embedded software solutions that dramatically reduce power consumption and cost while offering complete flexibility and broad functionality.

Leveraging the latest advances in Smart Grid technology and the high efficiency benefits of the latest lighting products, anyCOMM has developed an integrated network architecture that unlocks profound potential. The anyCOMM solution adds unprecedented management and control of lighting resources to virtually any building or control system.

Using only a smart phone, tablet or PC, anyCOMM’s application or browser-based interface creates exciting new ways to empower a new generation of smart energy users.

Context

As the cost of energy continues to rise and demand threatens to outstrip utility capacity, the US government has launched initiatives such as the L prize in order to phase out older incandescent light bulbs and accelerate energy conservation. Luminaries, with smart or “adaptive” technology, consume approximately 70 percent less power than traditional sources, creating an opportunity for dramatic savings.

Analysts project that 75 percent of all utility meters will be converted to smart meters over the next five years. The transition will allow utilities, corporations, and individual or private consumers to measure and regulate power usage by providing real-time information about energy consumption.

Solution

As a pioneer in the development of SMART lighting hardware and embedded software solutions, anyCOMM is poised to facilitate this trend. The anyCOMM solution provides comprehensive adaptive monitoring, control, and automation of lighting and other electronic functions in both residential and commercial environments.

The anyCOMM solution utilizes a new generation of lighting products that integrate microprocessor control and wireless or PLC connectivity into high efficiency bulbs and fixtures. This revolutionary technology allows consumers and businesses to introduce unprecedented control and management capabilities and remotely optimize power consumption by simply replacing a bulb. In short, anyCOMM’s technology is the first total solution that delivers a comprehensive integrated network that stretches from the home or business all the way through the grid.

Moreover, this exciting advance in home and commercial automation eliminates the need for proprietary switches and gateways as well as the complicated and expensive wiring schemes that competitive solutions require. Ultimately, anyCOMM’s technology promises to serve as a foundation for cost-effective remote control of not only lighting, but security, home health monitoring, appliances, heating and cooling, and irrigation systems.

Just as important, these new SMART lighting products allow consumers and utilities to exploit anyCOMM’s long established expertise in home and office automation and control. Over the past decade, the company has devoted many years to the development of software to simplify the management of digital audio and video content and optimize power consumption in homes and businesses. Using a set of applications anyCOMM has developed to run on tablets, PCs, and smartphones, consumers can see each light bulb in the network, and easily monitor and manage power consumption from anywhere.
