Listener
Your ears in the outdoors.
The ears in the outdoors. The Listener, powered by Dutch Sensor Systems, provides insight into sound in (public) outdoor spaces. Fully integrated into Sustainder Anne luminaires, the Listener offers 24/7 reliable sound measurements. Users gain access to real-time levels and historical data via the cloud, including customizable alerts and reports. This makes sound an objective and useful source of information for livability, safety, and policy.
The Listener utilizes DSS’s proven Ranos dB technology: accurate and robust sound level meters used worldwide and compliant with international standards (IEC 61672).
Why measure noise?
Noise is a key factor in quality of life and health.
With the Listener, you have:
- Constant insight: real-time data and historical reports via a user-friendly dashboard.
- Objective evidence: hard data for complaints, inspections, or legal issues.
- Regulations under control: measurement according to European and local standards.
- Transparency: data can be easily shared with residents, supervisors, and partners.
- Scalability and reliability: easy to deploy, locally and internationally.
The Listener translates the volatile and often subjective phenomenon of noise into hard, usable data. This allows you to replace uncertainty with control, confidence, and efficiency.
Flexible and modular deployment
The Listener works with our modular cassette system that can be installed without tools. This allows you to integrate the sensor into your existing infrastructure at the locations where you want to measure noise. The built-in processing power ensures that the noise data is processed continuously and reliably according to international standards.
Interesting solutions for a colleague
Sustainder facilitates the transformation of the public lighting network into a sustainable, future-proof and smart infrastructure. We believe that the existing infrastructure of public lighting has ideal properties to act as a carrier of a smart city network. Think of the fine mesh level of the network, the presence of power connection and the ideal height for sensor and communication applications. We therefore believe that many other disciplines within the government should have access to this high-quality network. In the following five themes, we describe how other stakeholders can also have an interest in the transition to a sustainable, future-proof and smart infrastructure.
