Smart Street Lighting Solutions for Connected Cities

Energy-efficient, sensor-enabled, and IoT-integrated lighting systems for modern infrastructure and smart city applications.

Overview

Smart street lighting transforms traditional public lighting infrastructure into a connected, intelligent network. By leveraging IoT, real-time data, and automation, these systems improve urban efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and increase public safety. They dynamically respond to environmental factors and pedestrian or vehicular movement to optimize brightness levels and maintenance cycles. This innovation supports broader smart city initiatives by integrating seamlessly with other city systems.

At ICity Tek, headquartered in Boston, MA–NH, we are helping North American cities modernize their infrastructure with intelligent, scalable lighting solutions. Our commitment to product reliability, innovation, and customer support is complemented by strong collaborations with GAO (Global Advanced Operations) Tek and GAO (Global Advanced Operations) RFID, enabling us to deliver end-to-end street lighting systems.
