From Light To Bright: San Diego Is Building The World's Largest Municipal Internet Of Things - GE Reports
San Diego’s newest streetlights might not look all that special — and that’s exactly the point. Designed to blend in with the rest of the city’s outdoor lighting, they’re easy to overlook. Under the surface, though, the LED fixtures are actually data-gathering machines. They will allow San Diego to build the largest municipal internet-of-things network in the world.
Smart lights, big city. Over the next year, San Diego
plans to replace 14,000 lights with LED fixtures,
and 3,600 will be equipped with new intelligent
nodes. Image credit: GE Lighting
