Smart lighting leads the way
There are between 300 and 360 million street lights worldwide. Adding connectivity and other innovative technology changes the game — energy consumption is reduced, maintenance gets easier, and they can even provide critical information on traffic, road conditions, enhanced public safety and more. Here’s what’s happening in smart lighting right now, from our smart lighting business lead, Hari Garlapati, and two of our Smart Cities Accelerator members.
Benefits of connected street lights
First up, Qualcomm Senior Director of Technology and our Smart Lighting Business Lead Hari Garlapati dives into the simple, yet impactful ways connected street lights can improve our cities, including new applications.
