Fosfari was founded in 2006 and helps clients to find the right lighting for specific projects. Working with light is pure specialist work and they know that like no other at Fosfari. They have a passionate team of product specialists, graphic designers, interior architects and lighting designers, and together they place the space in the appropriate light. With the appropriate light, they make a room bigger, smaller, safer and more convivial. From homes to offices or factories, from village squares to railway stations. Each environment requires its own lighting plan. They follow a clear philosophy: it is not the light source itself that is decisive, but the effect it has on those who live, work, relax and sleep there.
"I am very satisfied with the cooperation. As Fosfari and Remoticom, we are really a team because we are both not that big, but we are very flexible and innovative. We speak the same language and we are happy with Remoticom's expertise in smart solutions that fills the needs of the Belgian market."

STARTING POINTS.
Together with Geonius we have formulated the following principles:
• Increasing security in the centre of Hasselt, especially on the Kolonel Dusartplein.
• Remote-controlled lighting by means of an application.
• A product that is so compact that it fits into the mast and/or the central unit.
• Specific parties such as the municipality and the police must have access to control luminaires in the event of calamities.
• The data flows must be secure.
OUR APPROACH.
Fosfari has worked with Remoticom many times in the past. For this particular case, we highlight the Kolonel Dusartplein in Hasselt and our products: the EnergyNode Prestige 4, the Emergency app and the EnergyNode Standard.
This time, Fosfari came to us with the question whether we could think along about the safety of the square by means of lighting. There are many cafés on the square and in the evening it can sometimes get too cosy, causing trouble.
By default, the lighting in the square is on a fixed light setting (in this case 20%). But in case of calamities, it should be possible to scale up to 100%. By using the Emergency app, through the NB-IoT network, this can be realised. In this way the municipality, in cooperation with the police, can guarantee public safety at the square.
In addition, there was a specific request for an efficient solution that did not require the company to travel to individual control cabinets every time. More flexible working and less CO2 emissions were desired.
Products.
Product used to create this innovative solution:
Solution.
Based on the briefing, we were able to recommend our EnergyNode Standard installed in the relevant masts in the square. With limited access to the luminaires by commissioning the Emergency app, another step has been taken towards a lasting relationship and city safety.
! By the way, this is the first time the Emergency app has been rolled out in conjunction with our EnergyNode Standard.
A piece of intelligence has also been added to several luminaires in the city of Hasselt where use has been made of our EnergyNode (EnergyNode Standard) fitted plug-and-play on the relevant luminaires.

- Increasing public safety on the square in Hasselt.
- A sustainable solution that reduces CO2 emissions.
