Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) through its research arm, TNB Research (TNBR) has recently carried out a pilot study on the feasibility of SSL system by using energy efficient light-emitting diode (LED) lighting technology. In the study, two (2) SSL technologies have been selected and evaluated through field trial which are Securemesh 2.4 GHz Neighborhood Area Network (NAN) and Ultra Narrowband (UNB). Both SSL systems have been pilot tested at selected areas in Melaka state. This paper shall discuss their technical performance such as functionality, reliability and compatibility that have been evaluated in the study.
