San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newson demonstrates smart street lights-- LED lights embedded with Echelon's smart networking technology for a cleaner, greener, more efficient city.

In cities around the world, Echelons LonWorks technology is at work continuously reducing energy, operational and maintenance costs of streetlights while also improving light quality and safety for all residents. Street lights, LED or otherwise, that are part of a smart control network can be dimmed, turned on/off, and managed easily right down to the individual lamp. This ability to control the lights means that the amount of energy used, and when, is all controlled from one place. Additional information on smart networked street lighting is below, and you can visit http://www.echelon.com/solutio ns/streetlight/ to see a video about the technology.

Echelons technology allows cities to update their older, inefficient streetlight systems by leveraging the existing power lines to remotely control the streetlights. This solution significantly lowers energy and maintenance costs, and helps reduce carbon dioxide emissions while improving light quality and safety, all from a single, networked infrastructure.
