Salzburg Airport modernises: Bluetooth lighting control replaces KNX and DALI

The idea behind
Airport Salzburg

Salzburg Airport is Austria's largest regional airport. Accordingly, there is a lot of activity on and off the tarmac. The first port of call for departing and returning passengers is the multi-storey car park, which is very busy around the clock. The car park has now been equipped with the RS PRO 5150 SC Connected Lighting solution from STEINEL so that all visitors can enjoy optimum lighting conditions regardless of the time of day. Previously, DALI luminaires were used, which were integrated into a KNX control system via a gateway. However, this solution proved to be prone to errors, as the control system frequently failed and the KNX bus had to be reset repeatedly. This posed a considerable challenge, particularly in a 330 metre long multi-storey car park. This led to the desire for a more stable system that still offered convenience and efficiency. However, alternative solutions would have meant a considerable amount of extra work. A conscious decision was therefore made not to combine KNX and DALI control again. With Connected Lighting, all luminaires are now networked with each other via Bluetooth Mesh, which enables optimum and flexible lighting of the car park and takes individual lighting conditions into account.

‘We no longer wanted a complex KNX or DALI circuit, but a solution with integrated sensors and group circuits that can be easily networked via Bluetooth - without any additional cabling.’

All advantages at a glance

Adjustable via app

Simple assembly and installation

Due to the length of the building, the luminaires in the multi-storey car park are installed with 5-pole through-wiring. A control line, as with the previous DALI installation, is not necessary. With the help of the free STEINEL Connect app, the luminaires are connected to each other wirelessly via Bluetooth Mesh.

Pioneering technology

Connected Lighting

Salzburg Airport decided in favour of STEINEL's Connected Lighting solution based on the premise of making significant energy savings with the lighting in the future and at the same time having a reliable and low-maintenance lighting solution. Thanks to local light and presence sensors and Bluetooth networking, the sensor-controlled LED lights only switch on when they are needed. This saves energy, lowers electricity costs and reduces CO2 emissions.

Brighter Light

More comfort and safety

The STEINEL sensor lights in the 5150 series have noticeably improved the quality of light, ensuring greater safety and comfort throughout the vehicle and pedestrian areas. The uniform and reliable illumination facilitates orientation and creates a pleasant atmosphere for all visitors to the car park.

Bluetooth Mesh -pioneering technology

The use of Bluetooth Mesh technology at Salzburg Airport enables efficient networking, which has proven to be ideal for the long multi-storey car park in particular. Thanks to the mesh structure, communication between the luminaires remains stable over long distances without any additional cabling. The Bluetooth SIG standards also guarantee future-proofing and reliability.
