Capital City of Nova Scotia to Connect 43,000
LED Street Lights to Help Improve Public Safety, Increase Energy
Conservation, Control Costs, and Establish Smart City Platform for
the Future
Today, Silver Spring Networks, Inc. (NYSE: SSNI) announced it
has been selected to deliver an intelligent LED street lights
network in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Silver Spring Networks
will be deploying its award-winning smart street lights solution,
including its Streetlight.Vision control software, to network
43,000 LED luminaires provided by LED Roadway Lighting Ltd., a
world leader in the design and manufacturing of smart lighting
systems. Halifax is the capital city of Nova Scotia and, with more
than 400,000 residents and geographic area covering almost 2,500
square miles, is the largest municipal area in Canada’s maritime
province region.
“We all want to live in safe, healthy communities. That includes
well-lit streets, roads, and public spaces,” said Angus Doyle,
project manager for the street light conversion project and
Utilities Coordination Manager with the Halifax Regional
Municipality. “Silver Spring’s adaptive lighting platform offers
real-time monitoring of our street lights, which eliminates the
need for residents to phone in outages and allows us to better
manage maintenance and replace burnt out lights much sooner. It
also opens doors for future smart city applications in Halifax,
anything from water and electric meter readings to advertising
panels and traffic counters.”
“We’re honored to deliver a high-performance, reliable, and
extensible smart street lights network in Halifax,” said Brandon
Davito, Vice President of Smart Cities and Lighting, Silver Spring
Networks. “Based on open standards and able to run multiple
applications on a single network, our smart street lights platform
helps ensure Halifax can easily add and control more LED lights as
needed, and also deploy new smart city devices and applications in
the future.”
Silver Spring’s smart street lights solution helps cities,
utilities, and transportation agencies deploy intelligent lighting
systems that dramatically improve system reliability, increase
energy efficiency, lower operational costs, extend equipment
lifespans, and enhance citizen safety and quality of life. The
open, standards-based solution also enables cities to establish a
platform for future smart city applications and services such as
traffic management, environmental sensors, smart parking, electric
vehicle charging, electricity metering, water conservation, and
many others.
In addition to Halifax, Silver Spring also connects critical
infrastructure in iconic cities such as Chicago, Copenhagen,
Glasgow, Paris, San Francisco, Sao Paulo, Singapore, and Washington
D.C., among others, and is partnering with Florida Power &
Light for what is believed to be the world’s largest connected
lighting project of nearly 500,000 networked street lights across
Miami and South Florida. Silver Spring has delivered over 21.5
million IPv6-connected devices for critical infrastructure networks
on five continents.
