Open Standards Platform Selected to Support
Ambitious EU-Led ‘GrowSmarter’ Program Aimed at Driving Efficiency,
Sustainability and Economic Initiatives in Sweden’s Capital
Today at Smart Cities Summit, Silver Spring Networks, Inc.
(NYSE:SSNI) announced the initial applications leveraging the
latest deployment of Starfish™ in Stockholm, Sweden. Starfish is
Silver Spring’s international Internet of Things (IoT) public cloud
network and data service that arms commercial enterprises, cities,
utilities, and developers with two-way command-and-control,
near-real time telemetry and industrial-grade security to every
device.
As part of the EU-funded ‘GrowSmarter’ program, Silver Spring
also announced today that it has been selected to initially deploy
its standards-based IPv6 platform and solutions to upgrade aging
lighting infrastructure with intelligent street light controls in
the capital of Sweden, and to demonstrate the benefits of open
standards in this area. GrowSmarter aims to deliver smart
innovation energy, infrastructure and mobility solutions in three
Lighthouse Cities – Stockholm, Sweden, Barcelona, Spain and
Cologne, France – to achieve goals such as reducing greenhouse gas
emissions by 60 percent and creating an estimated 1,500 jobs.
“Cities and the industry need to collaborate more closely
together on innovation to break the status quo of silos and drive
more horizontal-focused models,” said Gustaf Landahl, Head of
Departments, City of Stockholm. “Through GrowSmarter’s program
and solutions such as those delivered by Silver Spring Networks,
Stockholm is closer to meeting its larger sustainability and energy
efficiency goals.”
“We see great synergy between GrowSmarter’s program goals and
Silver Spring’s own vision of a horizontal platform helping to
stimulate sustainable innovation within the constraints of city
bureaucracy and governance,” said Eric Dresselhuys, Executive
Vice President of Global Development, Silver Spring Networks.
“By demonstrating the efficacy of open standards in enabling
interoperability within intelligent lighting systems, we are
thrilled to offer Starfish in Stockholm, and to help contribute to
the city’s larger economic development and sustainability
goals.”
Stockholm will join other cities around the world where Starfish
will first be available including Bristol, Copenhagen, Glasgow,
London and in Crossmolina, Ireland in Europe; in Chicago,
Providence, San Antonio and San Jose in the U.S.; and in Kolkata,
India.
