System Architecture
This diagram shows the main components of the WaveLinx Wireless Connected Lighting (WCL) system. The WaveLinx system
communicates using wireless mesh technology based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. A PoE LAN connection for each Wireless Area
Controller (WAC) is required for power and data access to the building wireless network. System setup is achieved through a simple mobile
application via wireless communication to the system. Alternately, Wi-Fi can be used to access the building network and a PoE injector can
be used to power the WAC.
