New Partnership With Industry Leader Citelum to
Deliver Smart City Network in World’s Most Sustainable City
Silver Spring Networks, Inc. (NYSE:SSNI),
a leading networking platform and solutions provider for
smart energy networks, announced today it has been selected to
deliver the networking platform for a citywide intelligent street
lights project in Copenhagen, Denmark. Under a new partnership with
Citelum, the global leader in lighting, traffic management, and
other urban electrical systems, Silver Spring is expected to begin
networking 20,000 street lights in Copenhagen in 2014. Often cited
as the world’s most sustainable city, Copenhagen has chosen Citelum
to improve energy efficiency, lower operational costs, enable
remote lighting management and control, and improve citizen safety
through the enhanced lighting system. Citelum is partnering with
Silver Spring Networks to deliver its smart city solution for
Copenhagen.
“Copenhagen is a recognized global leader in leveraging smart
city technology to improve its environmental sustainability,
economic competitiveness, and quality of life for its citizens,”
said Eric Dresselhuys, Executive Vice President of Global
Development, Silver Spring Networks. “We are honored to partner
with Citelum to deliver an open, standards based networking
platform to connect Copenhagen’s street lights and to establish a
networking canopy for additional smart city applications in the
future.”
“Silver Spring has been selected by Citelum thanks to its
compliant wireless IPv6 smart city networking platform, providing
the scale, performance, security and extensibility needed for a
city of Copenhagen’s ambition,” said Pierre-Louis Ouvrard, Business
Development Director, Citelum.
Together, Citelum and Silver Spring expect to provide multiple
LED lamp options, with a single networking platform for
Copenhagen’s smart city network. Silver Spring’s unified networking
and software solutions ensure higher levels of reliability, enable
broader geographic coverage and are more cost-effective than
existing solutions.
