<p>There are two optimal solutions for managing lighting on highways, the advantages of which will be described below, but the QULON system offers other solutions as well.</p><p>A lighting control system for highways that uses GSM and Power Line technologies provides the possibility of individual control and management of each lighting device. Both technologies have their advantages and are applied in different conditions, taking into account the specific terrain features and requirements of regional restrictions.</p><p>The Power Line technology, which transmits data through power lines (Simpline technology), offers several benefits, such as cost savings on communication since it utilizes the existing power transmission network. This can be advantageous, especially for large-scale installations with a significant number of lighting devices.</p>

<p>In the context of highway lighting, a lighting control system serves the purpose of ensuring safety and comfort for drivers and pedestrians. Clear and effective illumination on highways reduces the risk of accidents and enhances visibility of road signs and markings. Optimizing energy consumption and enabling remote management help conserve energy and improve the efficiency of highway lighting systems.</p>
