Tondo Advantages
ADVANCED SMART LIGHTING CONTROL
Dusk-to-Dawn lighting control provides most of its lighting when it isn’t necessary, wasting enormous amounts of energy and increasing sky-glow that interferes with human and animal health.
Tondo’s Adaptive Smart Lighting automates the delivery of standards-compliant lighting levels based on best practices.
This can reduce the operating costs of LED street and area lighting by as much as 70%, while reducing the impact of lighting on our health and ecosystems.
FROM LIGHT POLES … TO SMART POLES
Smart Cities depend on an array of connected sensors and devices to collect data, automate operations, and support management decisions. With increasing urbanization, cities need to reduce their costs of scale.
Tondo’s secure, city-wide Smart Lighting-enabled network provides a standardized platform for sensors and devices that enable Smart City operating efficiencies.
Tondo’s Smart Lighting network turns common light poles into Smart City digital assets.
UNIFIED VIEW AND CONTROL
Tondo’s Cloud-IQ Central Management System (CMS) combines the world’s most advanced Smart City platform with Deep Learning AI for managing all lighting, sensors, and connected assets on the Tondo Smart network.
Cloud-IQ allows you to monitor, configure, and provide secure software updates to Tondo Edge-IQ and Cabinet-IQ controllers, and other sensors and devices connected to the network.
Cloud-IQ provides robust reporting on sensor-collected data, energy usage and quality, anomaly alerts. Cloud-IQ connects easily with CRM systems, third-party analytics, and service delivery applications for fully integrated workflows.
ADVANCED CRYPTOGRAPHIC CYBERSECURITY
When connecting critical infrastructure with digital networks, we have a responsibility to do that securely.
Tondo was the first to deliver street and area lighting controllers with hardware-based cryptographic security, replacing weaker software-based cybersecurity.
Every Tondo Smart Lighting controller is equipped with secure encryption storage, unique rotating encryption keys, and secure encryption and decryption processes that are suitable for protecting critical infrastructure.
RAPID INSTALLATION
Tondo’s plug-and-play and automatic configuration securely configures the lighting and network controllers in a few seconds.
Tondo’s automatic configuration eliminates the need for extensive training for installers, and provides significantly lower project deployment costs and risk.
OPEN STANDARDS & INTEROPERABILITY
Tondo designs its hardware and software products for interoperability. We support the standards and interoperability specifications to help cities avoid lock-in to proprietary solutions.
Our choice of Bluetooth® as our network standard is an example of our attention to detail. Bluetooth is one of the few communications standards that provides a 100% complete open specification for maximum interoperability.
HIGH VALUE SOLUTIONS
Tondo’s Smart Lighting-enabled Smart City solutions can typically recover their costs in five years, and as little as three years, depending on your cost of electricity, roadway classifications, and number of fixtures.
Smart Lighting savings are driven by:
- Dimming-enabled design standards
- Sensor-enabled adaptive dimming
- Metering-enabled electricity rates
- Extended lamp lifecycles
- Operations and maintenance savings
- Reduced cost of CO2 offset credits

RELIABILITY AND DEPENDABILITY
Your Smart Lighting and Smart City network requires high availability “always-on” operation.
We’ve taken great care in designing our products to withstand unexpected shock, vibration, electrical interference, and power anomalies.
We offer a range of warranty options and our Cloud-IQ Central Management System can be deployed on our cloud or yours.
Solutions for Smart Cities and Smart Enterprises
SMART ROADWAY LIGHTING
Roadway and highway lighting represents 36% of all outdoor lighting in the U.S.
LED retrofit projects are an easy choice, because they can deliver up to 40% in energy savings and GHG footprint reduction. A Tondo Smart Lighting solution deployed after your LED can deliver even more savings than from an LED retrofit project.
Tondo can provide you with the communications and control infrastructure for Smart City and Smart Enterprise sensors and devices – completely paid for with the energy savings, GHG reductions, operations & maintenance savings, and lamp asset lifecycle benefits of Smart Lighting.
PARKING LOT LIGHTING
Parking lot lighting represents the 2nd largest user of outdoor lighting.
Five percent of the entire United States is covered by parking lots, with as many as 630m non-household indoor and outdoor parking lot spaces in the U.S.
Tondo’s Smart Lighting not only reduces the operating and maintenance costs of lighting – but also enables real-time control and can reduce the cost of your parking sensor and connected device deployment by up to 80%.
Tondo’s solutions include presence sensing, traffic counting, speed monitoring, vehicle recognition, license plate recognition, and more.
SMART OUTDOOR LIGHTING
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, commercial outdoor area lighting represents 64% of all outdoor lighting in the United States, and 6% of global energy consumption. Over half our carbon footprint comes from electricity and 17% of that comes from outdoor lighting.
Lighting energy costs represent approximately 10% of the total operating budget of a commercial building and 31% of the total energy budget.
Studies have shown that a Tondo Smart Lighting solution can reduce your energy and other operational expenses by as much as 40% and add up to 4% to the net operating income for a commercial organization.
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION LIGHTING
Lighting for rapid transit, airports, and railways represent the fourth largest user of outdoor lighting. Balancing safety with sensible cost management is a challenge.
Tondo’s Smart Lighting affordably transforms tired old light poles into 24×7 powered Smart Poles capable of hosting a range of sensors, meters, cameras, public WiFi, Small Cell 5G, and EV charging systems.
Smart Lighting is the foundation for any integrated transportation and vehicle-to-infrastructure strategy for Smart Cities.
