Eindhoven, the Netherlands – Norwegian IT systems integrator Atea has redefined the meaning of “smart office” with its office building in Stavanger, Norway, thanks to connected lighting technology from Signify (Euronext: LIGHT), the world leader in lighting, and network technology from Cisco. Described as a “living lab”, the office acts as a showcase for integrating the latest in connected technology on a single converged network.
Key to smart office capabilities at Atea is Interact Office from Signify — a suite of connected lighting monitoring and management software — and connected sensors and luminaires from Signify. In addition to high-quality, energy-efficient LED lighting and insights for businesses into performance and energy usage, the system offers personalization, productivity, and bio-adaptive lighting features that help keep employees happy and engaged.
Atea wanted the newest technology available. New technologies within Interact include a personal control app for the lighting system, a highly accurate indoor location system that uses a combination of LED lighting and Cisco DNA Spaces, and even LiFi for light-based, high-bandwidth wireless connectivity. Atea staff and building managers can now:

“The converged IP network powers and integrates all of the building’s different systems with IEEE standards, and efficiencies are gained through this approach,” added Derek Wright, Global Sub-Segment manager Office, Education and Municipal buildings at Signify. “With Cisco and Atea, we’ve gone beyond just theory and have implemented a real-world example of the smart office of the future. The use cases that can be enabled from this is where the value for Atea can be driven.”
At Atea Stavanger, the connected lighting system is an integral component of the building’s IoT platform. Connected luminaires and their multi sensors transmit data via the IP network, which is deployed using Cisco Ethernet switches. Many of the building’s luminaires connect to the converged infrastructure using Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) —meaning these luminaires are powered and controlled through the Ethernet infrastructure, without the need for separate electrical wiring, and can easily transmit collected data to the cloud.
