Recognized as one of the leading smart street lighting solutions on the market, inteliLIGHT® has become the go-to choice for cities embracing digital transformation. With projects in iconic locations like Washington, D.C., Brussels, and Riyadh, the platform now manages over 1 million street lamps on six continents.  

Back in 2005, Flashnet set out with a clear vision: integrate advanced technology into urban infrastructure to help cities become smarter and more sustainable. This vision led to the development of inteliLIGHT®, the company’s flagship smart street lighting solution, designed from the start with interoperability and long-term adaptability in mind. 

Originally focused on energy management, the company quickly identified street lighting as a key area for improvement in cities worldwide. The result? A system that offers cities intelligent control, energy savings and effortless integration with other urban systems. 

Over the years, Flashnet has grown from a small startup into one of the leading smart street lighting providers in the world, driven by a clear focus on innovation, interoperability and smart urban infrastructure. At the heart of this journey is inteliLIGHT®, the flagship platform that has evolved into one of the top smart street lighting solutions globally, powering cities across six continents and setting new benchmarks for efficiency and reliability. 

Successful implementations from diverse regions of the globe illustrate the widespread impact of the inteliLIGHT solution. In the United States, it has revolutionized Washington, D.C.’s smart lighting system with smart controllers that optimize energy use and improve maintenance efficiency. In Europe, inteliLIGHT® was selected as one of the solutions for a 10-year public smart lighting project in and around Brussels, with the goals of significantly cutting energy costs and enhancing public safety.  

In Saudi Arabia inteliLIGHT® deployments have strengthened security and operational reliability. In Cyprus, the solution supports national sustainability goals. These projects, among hundreds of others, show how inteliLIGHT® helps shape the future of urban lighting, offering both large and small-scale solutions, tailored to cities of all sizes. 

inteliLIGHT® provides interoperability with different connectivity technologies and IoT platforms. Equipped with energy-saving features, fault detection, and user-friendly interfaces, inteliLIGHT® is at the forefront of smart street lighting advancements worldwide.  

Designed for resilience, each inteliLIGHT® controller ensures dependable performance in various weather conditions and integrates into existing urban infrastructures without any issues. The controllers support multiple communication technologies, including LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, and LTE-M, making them adaptable to a wide range of urban settings and future-proofing investments by cities.  

Furthermore, inteliLIGHT® has been recognized globally for the innovation it provides, largely due to its ability to incorporate the latest technological advancements in the smart street lighting field. Its form factor diversity ensures compatibility across six continents, allowing for effective retrofitting and the ability to make controllers nearly invisible within architectural contexts. The system’s ease of installation and commissioning is another significant advantage; for example, when used with NEMA-equipped lamps, the GSM communication-enabled system can be installed and operational almost instantaneously, providing rapid deployment and minimizing disruption. 

As cities around the world continue to seek smart, sustainable upgrades, inteliLIGHT® is positioned to support this evolution – one smart street lamp at a time. Backed by a growing global footprint, the solution continues to push the boundaries of what public lighting can achieve. 

“The achievement of controlling over 1 million smart street lights worldwide is a proud moment for us,” says Lorand Mozes, CEO of Flashnet. “They mean more than just numbers; it’s about the real impact on communities – safer streets, more efficient energy use, and better urban living. We’re excited about the future and committed to continuing our work to enhance city life. Our goal is to keep pushing boundaries, improving our technology and supporting cities in creating safer, more connected environments for everyone.”
