Mexican municipality Solidaridad will benefit from a smart streetlighting solution by Signify’s Telensa deployed across an initial 4,000 streetlights—affecting 350,000 residents—in Playa del Carman. Telensa was awarded contract by Traffic Light, the municipality’s urban planning consultancy and contractor, to deliver energy and operational efficiencies to the city, create savings and improve the environmental well-being of the area.
Telensa’s software, PLANet, uses “telecells” installed on each street light to wirelessly communicate with Traffic Light’s Network Operations Centre (NOC), where data analytics optimize services for inhabitants and tourists alike.
Traffic Lights manages over 300,00 lights and the new platform is set to scale across all of Solidaridad, and beyond.
