Project background

Municipalities maintaining thousands of streetlights want individual control, fault detection, and dimming — capabilities not present in traditional infrastructure. The client needed a retrofit system deployable at city scale.

Challenge

Communicating reliably across thousands of nodes spread across a city, detecting faults without manual inspection, and integrating with existing lighting infrastructure.

Approach & solution

We deployed luminaire-level controllers on a mesh network with gateway backhaul to a central management system. Dimming schedules, fault detection, and energy reporting run through a single interface. The system scales from neighborhoods to full cities on the same architecture.

Results & benefits

Pilot deployments delivered remote control, fault visibility, and energy savings from dimming schedules within the first months. Operational teams dramatically cut inspection workload.
