NEW PRODUCT RELEASE: AV425-RF Solar Aviation Light
Avlite Systems is excited to release the new AV425-RF Solar Aviation Light, providing customers with the latest industry advancements.
This revolutionary light boasts an enormous array of features including radio control, integrated mesh network, external charging port, replaceable solar panels and the only solar powered light on the market to meet FAA photometrics for runway edge and threshold lighting.
The AV425-RF is an engineering accomplishment encompassing the latest in electronics, LED and optical research.
First & Only Solar Aviation Light on the Market to Meet FAA Photometrics for Runway Edge & Threshold
The AV425-RF is able to operate as an omnidirectional or bi-directional assembly to meet the photometric requirements of FAA L861 runway edge and FAA L861E threshold lighting when set to high-intensity mode.
Introducing AvMesh™ Communication Network
The AV425-RF wireless RF light has a practically unlimited range through the use of the AvMesh™ communication network. The proprietary AvMesh™ network enables each light to transmit and receive commands, allowing the airfield to be expanded or altered at any time.
AvMesh™ is self-realizing, meaning once deployed the airfield lights will undertake a period of network mapping, whereby the system automatically determines an efficient path to relay command messages through the airfield. This means that unlike competing products, the AV425-RF does not require direct line of sight to the handheld controller. The main requirement is that the distance between the controller and the closest light in the AvMesh™ network is no greater than 1.4km, and no two lights are more than 1.4km apart.
AvMesh™ is self-healing. This allows the system to automatically re-establish the relay of command messages if lights are replaced, or new lights are added to the airfield.
AvMesh™ has redundancy. Once the system has mapped an efficient relay of command messages, a secondary sub-network is mapped for added redundancy.
