Make cities and public spaces more energy efficient, and cut costs with connected public lighting.
Home / Industries / Smart Cities / Public Lighting
Street lighting accounts for approximately 20% of global electricity consumption. By upgrading to LED bulbs and adding Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity to public lighting systems, cities can cut energy usage by up to half. With cellular connectivity and a centralized management system, lighting can be turned off or dimmed in times of low usage, saving resources.
Intelligent lighting can improve public security. Streetlights can flash to deter individuals from gathering in certain locations. Embedded sensors can detect sounds, such as broken glass or gunshots, then automatically send alerts to the police. In addition, by integrating surveillance cameras into lighting systems, police can apprehend suspects accused of serious crimes.
Smart street lighting systems can result in cost savings of up to 70%. Of this, a 10 to 20% savings can be achieved by reducing lighting at dawn or dusk, or in off-peak hours such as between 12 a.m. and 5 a.m.2 Smart systems can also identify lights that are on during the day and switch them off. By analyzing operational data, cities can move to a preventive maintenance model for public lighting infrastructure, to cut service costs and reduce outages.
Smart lights collect real-time data that can be used to make improvements to the municipal area. Data can include traffic speed, noise, or air quality, which is fed back to city planners via a cloud platform.
Sogexi is a French company that specializes in remote lighting solutions. It uses the our AirLink® series of programmable gateways for its lighting control platforms.
Simplify integration and reduce security risks of your IoT deployment with our wireless IoT modules. The HL78 series of modules is 5 to 10 times more energy efficient than competing units, making battery life longer and maintenance cheaper.
Sierra Wireless routers and gateways enable smart lighting operators to create reliable, high-performance communication channels between smart lights, sensors and control platforms.
Multi-operator coverage ensures that connectivity is always switched on for your lighting networks, wherever they are deployed. Sierra Wireless modules, gateways and routers are pre-integrated with embedded SIMs that are pre-connected to Smart Connectivity services.
