It’s exhilarating to see such interest in our city-centric smart street lighting solution. In Barcelona, everyone talks about smart cities in the context of energy savings, sustainability and integration. We are committed to open standards, available for any integration and inteliLIGHT can save up to 40% off any city’s lighting energy bill, within weeks.

In mid-November 2022, over 20.000 attendees and more than 400 speakers, leaders and innovators from 100 countries were present in person, in Barcelona, to debate, compare, share ideas and experience technologies for a smarter and more sustainable world.

What were the visitors’ main areas of interest this year?

Due to new energy efficiency ojectives, people’s attention was caught by solutions that tackle the reduction of energy consumption. Our team’s discussion with high-level representatives from the public and private sectors revolved around reducing cities’ lighting energy bill and CO2 emissions. They had the chance to see by themselves how inteliLIGHT, our connected street lighting solution, reduces energy expenses and power consumption by up to 40%  wihtin weeks by adding intelligence and control to the lighting network.

Another growing focus was for systems that can be integrated with any smart city software applications and can coexist with other compatible controllers. Today’s smart cities are created by a fast-paced technological environment, therefore city managers need be able to install and coordinate synergistically not only different applications, but also more than one provider for a certain city service.

As we are pioneers in integration, this growing interest is aligned with our vision: helping cities reach their efficiency through a fully interoperable smart public lighting solution that enables the management and control of multiple urban applications (waste management, air pollution applications, etc).

inteliLIGHT® Streetlight Control software comes with native southbound and northbound API connectivity and proved integration experience with smart city management software suites, making it easy for the integrators to connect our control solution into any smart city project on the market. More than that, by leveraging the two most common smart city IoT standards (TALQ and Ucifi), inteliLIGHT ensures plug-and-play interoperability and flexibility.

We were thrilled to take part in such an important event around the concept of sustainable solutions for smart cities and see that a growing number of people appreciate our vision for an open system, ready to adapt to any city needs, saving up to 40% off the street lighting energy within weeks.
