Sync Remote Unit Controller (NLC)

Apollo Sync NLC Network Lighting Controller | Remote Smart Lighting Control and Diagnostics

Apollo Sycn NLC is a remote unit controller for Apollo SmartLight systems that enables centralized diagnostics, lighting control, camera management, scheduling, and insurance-aligned reporting through the Apollo IQ platform.

Remote Intelligence for Every SmartLight

Connect every Apollo SmartLight to centralized control, diagnostics, scheduling, and insights dashboards.

What It Is

The Apollo Sync Network Lighting Controller (NLC) is the intelligence bridge between your SmartLight hardware and the Apollo IQ platform. It is a separately purchased remote unit controller that attaches to an Apollo SmartLight fixture.

It enables:
  • Real-time light status monitoring
  • Remote on and off control
  • Lighting dimming and scheduling
  • Camera activation and control
  • Diagnostics and fault alerts
  • Secure connectivity to Apollo IQ

How It Works

The Apollo Sync Remote Unit Controller (NLC) serves as a smart node controller, connecting each luminaire to the Apollo Data IQ centralized lighting management platform.

ONCE INSTALLED

THE APOLLO SYNC

communicates fixture performance data to the cloud

OPERATORS

monitor light status, outages, and voltage conditions in real time

LIGHTS

can be dimmed or scheduled remotely

INTEGRATED

cameras can be controlled through the same interface

ALERTS

and diagnostics are triggered when predefined thresholds are met

The Apollo Sync transforms each light into an addressable, manageable infrastructure asset.

UNIQUE ATTRIBUTES

True Network Lighting Controller

The Apollo Sync converts standalone fixtures into connected smart lighting nodes.

Real Time Diagnostics

Monitor voltage, power draw, outage conditions, and performance remotely.

Centralized Scheduling

Program lighting schedules by time, zone, event, or seasonal requirement.

Camera and Light Integration

Control both illumination and surveillance from a single dashboard.

Insurance Reduction Enablement

Supports documentation and operational transparency required to pursue 5% to 20% annual reductions in property and casualty insurance costs.

Scalable Deployment

Deploy across campuses, ports, municipalities, and commercial portfolios with unified control.

Secure Connectivity

Encrypted communication and role-based access through Apollo IQ.

Benefits & ROI

Reduced Property and Casualty Insurance Risk

Centralized control and monitoring strengthen operational discipline and incident documentation, supporting discussions on premium reductions.

Lower Maintenance Costs

Immediate outage detection eliminates unnecessary
inspection rounds and reduces truck rolls.

Energy Optimization

Remote dimming and adaptive scheduling maximize LED
efficiency beyond static conversion savings.

Faster Incident Response

Camera and light control from a single interface
improves response coordination.

Operational Visibility at Scale
Manage thousands of fixtures across multiple locations with real-time insight.

“We chose to work with Apollo Metro because they have a light that is far superior to anything else that is currently on the market.”
— John W. Miller, Project Manager, Collier County
