What LumenRadio does
LumenRadio AB is a Sweden-based wireless technology company founded in 2008 that develops and sells proprietary wireless mesh products for building automation and entertainment lighting. Its technology stack centers on the patented MiraMesh mesh protocol and Cognitive Coexistence frequency-hopping technology operating on the 2.4 GHz ISM band, delivered through the MiraOS firmware platform. The product portfolio is organized around cable replacement: W-DALI and AirGlow for DALI-compatible lighting control, W-Modbus for Modbus RTU cable replacement, W-BACnet for BACnet MS/TP networks, and the CRMX line of wireless DMX products for entertainment lighting.
The company monetizes through three revenue streams: hardware unit sales via a global distributor network, OEM module licensing to building automation manufacturers (Swegon, Munters, S+S Regeltechnik, TROX, Produal, Gruner), and evaluation/development kits sold to system integrators. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. In September 2023, LumenRadio acquired Norway-based Radiocrafts AS for 85 million NOK to expand into smart metering.
LumenRadio serves two primary end markets: professional entertainment lighting (concerts, film/TV, theater) where CRMX is the de facto wireless DMX standard, and commercial/institutional building automation (HVAC, retrofit lighting, heritage buildings) where W-Modbus, W-BACnet, and W-DALI replace wired infrastructure. Key reference customers include Bridgestone, Vasakronan, RXR Realty, the Burj Khalifa, the National Theatre, and multiple universities and municipalities. The company operates from Gothenburg with 11–50 employees and serves customers across at least nine countries through distributors and OEM channels.
