Partnership Will Offer Silver Spring IPv6
Platform and Solutions in UK Smart Lighting and Smart City
Market
Silver Spring Networks, Inc. (NYSE: SSNI) today announced the
continued global expansion of its smart cities and smart street
lighting business with a new go-to-market partnership in the UK
with urbancontrol Ltd. A new company within the DW Windsor
Group which includes DW Windsor Lighting, one of the UK’s leading
lighting manufacturers, urbancontrol is the go-to-market
launch partner for Silver Spring’s smart city solutions in the UK
for cities, local authorities and contractors within the rapidly
expanding lighting and city asset management market. The UK is
currently at the forefront of Europe for adoption of smart city
technologies such as intelligent street lighting, and many analysts
expect this trend to continue. According to the ‘Future of Smart’
report by Arup, London alone may benefit from £8.9B of total global
spending for smart city technologies by 2020.
“We have reached a critical moment in time for smart lighting
and smart city programs in the UK where many councils and
authorities have realized that while intelligent street lights can
deliver immediate benefits like public safety and energy savings,
they can also lay the groundwork for larger smart city initiatives
that can provide a better quality of life in their communities,”
said Terry Dean, Chairman, DW Windsor Group. “We are happy to offer
these stakeholders Silver Spring’s platforms and solutions that
have already been proven for smart lighting and smart cities
programs across UK and throughout the world.”
“The UK has been an innovator in adopting connected
infrastructure programs, as evidenced by mature smart city programs
in Bristol and Glasgow,” said Brandon Davito, Vice President of
Smart Lighting and Smart Cities, Silver Spring Networks. “We are
pleased to be working with urbancontrol to offer Silver
Spring platform and solutions that can help councils and
contractors maximize their benefit from investments in smart city
infrastructure throughout the region.”
urbancontrol will bundle Silver Spring’s platform and
solution technologies, including Silver Spring’s Gen5 IPv6
networking platform and Streetlight.Vision 6 (SLV6) device control
and management software, through Silver Spring’s innovative
network-as-a-service and software-as-a-service models. The
urbancontrol development team will also build enhancements
to meet the specific requirements of UK local authorities and
contractors. This will help public lighting operators and cities
reap the benefits of a smart city platform, allowing them to avoid
upfront capital equipment and deployment costs, while also reducing
operational and management expenditures. urbancontrol
software platform urbanmaster™ 1 will be made available
through the SLV6 App Store across the UK and internationally.
Silver Spring has delivered more than 22.9 million critical
infrastructure devices across five continents including projects in
major global cities such as Bristol, Chicago, Copenhagen, Glasgow,
Melbourne, Mexico City, Paris, Sao Paulo, San Francisco, Singapore,
and Washington DC. Silver Spring is also deploying what is believed
to be the largest networked street light project in the world,
nearly 500,000 connected street lights across Miami and South
Florida.
