At DISTRIBUTECH 2026, we are demonstrating why smart street lighting has become a critical component of modern grid strategy. In the United States, where utilities are increasingly focused on improving visibility and control across distributed infrastructure and traditional, unmonitored street lighting no longer meets these operational needs. 

Building on the success of the Washington D.C. smart street lighting project and supported by large-scale deployments managing more than 350,000 poles across the United States, our experience shows how public lighting networks can evolve from traditionally passive loads into intelligent, actively managed grid assets. 

Through the inteliLIGHT® platform, utilities and municipalities gain real-time visibility and granular control over distributed lighting infrastructure. This enables more efficient energy use, faster detection of grid anomalies and a data-driven approach to maintenance and operations. 

Public lighting networks represent one of the largest, most distributed electrical assets in any territory. We bridge the gap between urban infrastructure and modern grid operations, delivering: 

• Granular networks: Precise monitoring of electrical parameters and real-time behavior analysis. 

• Proactive resilience: Instant fault detection and rapid response to abnormal conditions. 

• Predictive maintenance: Continuous data collection and analytics that support condition-based maintenance, allowing utilities to anticipate issues, prioritize interventions and reduce unplanned field work. 

• Interoperability: Flexible integration with existing utility systems and smart city IoT ecosystems. 

These capabilities directly support DISTRIBUTECH’s core themes of reliability, load management, and digital transformation. 

Our team will be available throughout the event to discuss how interoperable, scalable smart street lighting can support grid modernization initiatives, urban efficiency goals and long-term infrastructure planning. 

Visit us at Booth 6125 to explore how inteliLIGHT® connects cities and utilities to smarter, more resilient energy infrastructure.
