Smart lighting shines new light on smart cities potential

Smart lighting can be more than just illumination. The pole used for smart lighting is a piece of digital infrastructure that can be used for many more applications and opportunities. Learn more at www.spectrumsmartcities.com.

A light pole can be fitted with a wide array of sensors and devices to improve public safety, enable environmental monitoring and more. These sensors can collect and transmit information that help smart cities monitor and respond to any circumstance, from traffic congestion and air quality to crowd safety. These same networks can remotely control LED lights to turn on and off, offering smart cities a chance to use efficient, low-energy lighting while also improving pedestrian safety. How does this work in action?

For example, as a gigabit provider for St. Petersburg, FL, Spectrum is pleased to fund the 3-year grant for the city to join the US Ignite Smart Gigabit Community program. Learn more: https://bit.ly/2JLNiVN
