Kelly Space & Technology Launches Eco-Friendly Wireless Lighting Control Technology
Kelly Space & Technology, Inc. launched an eco-friendly wireless lighting control technology known as WiseLight. WiseLight automatically enables commercial and government municipal users to save energy and costs. This green energy saving system automates scheduling, monitoring and control of outdoor lighting applications such as recreational fields, parking lots, billboards and other venues. The WiseLight system eliminates timer and photosensor inefficiencies and malfunctions and allows direct feedback to identify failed components, such as bulbs and fixtures, and initiates real-time customer-defined notifications for prompt repair.
The WiseLight hardware is installed between a lighting fixture and its power supply and operates lights only when needed or desired. The centralized command and control feature of the system enables users to monitor energy usage and control a single lamp or any combination of lamps via machine-to-machine wireless communications from a secure internet web site.
Field results prove that the patent-pending wireless lighting control system allows customers to save up to fifty (50%) percent in energy costs, while aiding organizations to achieve carbon-neutrality goals by reducing energy demand and generation.
The proprietary communications architecture behind the WiseLight technology is the core innovation. Because of its universal applicability to control and monitor virtually any sensor system, Kelly Space is applying this technology to several of its product lines, including ballistic protection, laser and detection system applications.
KST has established the Aerospace Research & Development Center (ARDC) at its modernized facilities to incubate and commercialize leading-edge technologies. ARDC programs are of national significance and have attracted key government interest to meet the nation's priorities in the field of aerospace and homeland security. KST is cooperating with entrepreneurial companies on joint technology developments.

GMV, at the heart of Navigation
When it comes to GNSS technology, systems and applications, GMV delivers. Our specialized know-how of GNSS systems includes ephemeris, clock and integrity data computation, which are the very core of these systems. EGNOS and Galileo's performance depend directly on GMV's expertise in this area.
Satellite navigation has become a basic technology for 21st century society, and it is now considered the fifth "utility" together with water, electricity, gas, and telephony. Its role in our everyday lives will become more and more relevant.
GMV is proud to having contributed to the development of satellite navigation in Europe for more than 20 years, becoming one of the main players in the implementation of the European strategy in the area of satellite navigation. GMV ranks number 4 by revenue, with regards to participation in Galileo.
GMV's knowledge in this field and the experience of our human resource team have lead us to a key position both in the development of European navigation systems EGNOS and Galileo, where GMV develops critical subsystems (IPF - Integrity Processing Facility, OSPF - Orbit Synchronization Processing Facility, FDF - Flight Dynamics Facility, SPF - Service Product Facility), and also in the development of different localization applications based on different GNSS systems, where we have been pioneers in the use of GPS, Glonass and EGNOS signals.
GMV's activities in this area encompass a wide array of products and services, including activities in engineering, developing proprietary navigation algorithms, developing and integrating elements critical to the GNS-specific infrastructure, developing performance assessment tools for the design of navigation applications, and developing GNSS applications for different industries, such as air transportation, ground transportation, maritime navigation, agriculture, defence, security, and more.
