Interoperability at the core of smart city evolution – the inteliCITY approach
During the conference, our colleagues will deliver a dedicated presentation on how smart interoperability and smart street lighting are core principles of smart city evolution.
In a region where cities are expanding at an unprecedented pace and digital transformation is a national priority, interoperability has become a defining requirement for future-ready infrastructure.
We will discuss how:
- Open standards like TALQ enable cities to avoid vendor lock-in.
- Interoperable IoT architectures scale from lighting to EV chargers, air-quality sensors, mobility and beyond
- Communication-agnostic design (LoRaWAN, NB-IoT/LTE-M, cellular, hybrid) ensures long-term flexibility
- Smart street lighting can become the backbone of broader smart grid and smart city ecosystems
- The inteliCITY® platform ensures seamless interoperability through its two-layer architecture, the inteliCITY® Software and the IoT Connectivity Platform, delivering a future-proof, centralized and efficient smart city management experience.
By sharing practical lessons from deployments in Washington D.C, Riyadh, Jeddah and many other cities, we aim to demonstrate how interoperability accelerates innovation and helps utilities build resilient, efficient and human-centered infrastructure.
Why SASG matters for the region and for us
Saudi Arabia is entering a transformative decade driven by Vision 2030, where energy efficiency, digital resilience and sustainable urban development are top priorities.
SASG is a hub for:
- Utilities seeking advanced grid modernization
- Municipalities preparing smart city programs
- Technology innovators shaping the next generation of connected infrastructure
- Decision-makers aligning regulation with emerging energy technologies
For Flashnet and Lucy Group, SASG is an important moment to reinforce our shared mission: enabling cities to grow responsibly, efficiently and with long-term flexibility.
