ICT solutions provider Huawei unveiled a connected city lighting solution at CeBIT 2016 in Germany yesterday.
According to Huawei, the lighting solution connects street lamps to the Internet of things (IOT) and adopts a GIS-based management system, enabling cities to enhance the control and performance of every street lamp.
The solution provides municipal managers with status information on each lamp, in every street, and enables precise control of on-off switches and brightness of individual street lamps, allowing on-demand lighting and a reduction in energy, says the Chinese firm.
The company says this is the industry's first IOT lighting solution with multi-level intelligent control.
With the Huawei solution, each street lamp is equipped with a power and brightness controller to enhance the control and performance of street lamps. The solution is also designed to address issues such as ensuring high energy-efficiency, visible management and online inspection to prevent failures, and all-layer openness to build a smart city, according to Huawei.
Wu Chou, CTO of Huawei switch and enterprise communications product line, said: "Since the launch of Huawei Agile IOT Solution in May 2015, we have delivered several successful applications, including the power IOT solution, smart building solution, and smart stockbreeding solution.
"Huawei Connected City Lighting Solution is another powerful application of Huawei Agile IOT Solution, and an important advancement towards a truly smart city development with valuable big data and integrated interaction to improve citizens' lives."
Huawei has not indicated when this solution would be available locally.
