Abstract (en)
A gateway device (101) for connecting lighting system elements to a data transfer network comprises a data interface (102) for connecting communicatively to the data transfer network, a wireless transceiver (103) for connecting communicatively to the lighting system elements, and a control system (104) for controlling data traffic between the data interface and the wireless transceiver. The control system is configured to select one of the lighting system elements to be an access point in accordance with information related to the lighting system elements and to the gateway device, and to control the wireless transceiver to establish a wireless point-to-point connection to the access point. Thus, the gateway device does not need to be a part of a wireless mesh-network formed by the lighting system elements, and therefore for example signal levels and other transmission parameters between the gateway device and the access point can be set more freely.
