- Dramatically reduce energy consumption and costs for materials and maintenance
- Improve citizen vehicle compliance and provide increased violation detection and city revenue capture
- Enhance situational awareness, real-time collaboration, and decision making across city agencies, helping to optimize urban planning
- Add intelligence through sensor-based IoT innovations to transportation, utilities, public safety, and environmental monitoring without adding significantly more physical infrastructure
The Cisco Smart+Connected Lighting solution, when combined with Cisco Smart+Connected nodes, creates a powerful lighting infrastructure, or what Cisco terms a light sensory network (LSN). LSNs have Cisco nodes that are embedded on light poles and connected, which can be integrated with lighting infrastructures to gather a wide variety of data from the environment, including levels of humidity, carbon dioxide and oxygen, UVA and UVB waves, particulate matter, motion and seismic activity, video, sound, and more. This data, transmitted over the LSN, can inform many city services and initiatives across a single common infrastructure from law enforcement to environmental improvement, transportation oversight, and earthquake preparedness.
