1. World’s most reliable power line communications
Connected Street Lights and IOT
Saving Cities Power and Maintenance Costs
2. Our Mission: We Make Smart Cities Smarter
We address one of the world’s largest problems:
Electricity to a billion emerging middle class without
destroying the environment
– Fewer Power Plants. Reduced CO2 Emissions
– Efficient Cities
We make Smart Cities Smarter with networked street
lights and then uses that network to connect IOT sensors
throughout the city for data analytics
