In an industry where openness and interoperability define long-term success, we are proud to announce the re-certification of our IoT Platform Gateway by the TALQ Consortium.

The TALQ Consortium has established itself as the global authority for smart city protocol standardization, providing a unified interface for managing multiple city services: from smart street lighting to traffic systems and environmental monitoring. TALQ certification ensures that devices and systems from different vendors can “speak the same language,” simplifying integration and expansion. 

By achieving re-certification, we prove once again that our smart street lighting solutions meet the highest international standards for: 

Interoperability: Guaranteed compatibility with other TALQ-compliant devices and platforms 

Reliability: Trusted performance in managing real-world smart city operations 

Future-readiness: Scalable architecture that adapts to new technologies and urban needs 

For municipalities and utility companies, every infrastructure decision impacts long-term strategy. TALQ re-certification is a signal that our solutions are built to scale, integrate easily and adapt over time. Here’s how this translates into real value for our customers: 

• Freedom to Scale
  Whether you’re starting with a few neighborhoods or planning a city-wide deployment, TALQ compliance ensures our customers can scale their existing smart lighting system without needing to replace their components or start from scratch  

• No Vendor Lock-In
  Our TALQ-certified platform lets you integrate and expand with other compliant technologies. This gives our customers true flexibility in system design and procurement. 

• Simplified Integration
  From lighting to air quality monitoring, traffic control or public safety, your systems can work together seamlessly through a unified management interface. Also, TALQ certification reduces the complexity of integrating with other platforms and services, meaning faster deployment and fewer surprises during implementation. 

• Future-Proof Investment
  As smart city standards evolve, our customers’ infrastructure remains upgradable and interoperable, avoiding costly replacements or compatibility issues down the line. 

We have been part of the TALQ Consortium since 2017, consistently advocating for open, collaborative smart city standards. With projects all over the world, we’ve seen firsthand how critical interoperability is, from historic cities that require discreet retrofitting, to fast-growing urban areas prioritizing data integration and automation. 

We believe in open technology ecosystems that evolve alongside cities. TALQ certification ensures our partners won’t be locked into proprietary systems that limit growth or innovation.
