Open Standards-Based Silver Spring Platform to
Connect Approximately 28,000 Smart Street Lights in the City of
London and Borough of Barking and Dagenham, Through Go-To-Market
Partnership With urbancontrol
Silver Spring Networks, Inc. (NYSE: SSNI) today announced that
it will deploy its Starfish™ platform-as-a-service (PaaS) across
the City of London and the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham.
This adds to the previously announced London deployment in the City
of Westminster. Through urbancontrol, the newest company
within the DW Windsor Group, Silver Spring’s Starfish is expected
to connect approximately 12,000 smart street lights in the City of
London and 15,500 smart street lights in the Borough of Barking and
Dagenham. Starfish is based on Silver Spring’s proven, secure, and
reliable wireless network and data platform, built on the Wi-SUN®
IoT mesh technology specification. Silver Spring is a founding
member and co-chair of the Wi-SUN Alliance®, which drives the
interoperability for wireless solutions based on the IEEE 802.15.4g
standard1.
“We are excited that our go-to-market strategy is gaining
momentum internationally, with our newest award in the UK, and we
are honored to expand our deployment in London,” said
Ayse Ildeniz, Chief Operating Officer, Silver Spring
Networks. “Being selected by London demonstrates that
world-class cities rely on technology that is proven to be secure,
reliable, scalable and based on our open standards technology –
clear advantages that set Silver Spring’s apart from other
providers that don’t have experience connecting critical
infrastructure.”
Silver Spring’s platform was selected to provide 100% coverage
in the dense urban setting of the City of London, including
streets, lanes and alleyways where cellular technology is
unavailable, and star networks could not reach. “The Square Mile”
is a global financial hub and Central Business District through
which over 450,000 commuters pass through daily. The smart street
lights will help the City of London achieve its energy savings
goals and reduce operational costs, while also improving service
reliability and helping to lay a platform for future IoT
applications.
“The reliability, resilience and cyber security of the system
were key requirements for us. We thoroughly evaluated technology
options which were proven to connect critical devices at-scale, and
guarantee highly reliable coverage, regardless of where the device
is connected in the City,” said Giles Radford, Highways
Manager, City of London Corporation. “We look forward to
working with urbancontrol to deploy Silver Spring technology
that will help drive smart city services for the City of
London.”
In East London, the Borough of Barking and Dagenham is aiming to
drive energy efficiency through remote dimming and brightening of
the new smart street lights. The program is a core aspect of the
Borough’s goal to become the Green Energy Capital of London, and an
important aspect within the selection was Silver Spring’s ability
to deploy additional IoT services in the future.
As announced in 2016, urbancontrol is one of Silver
Spring Networks’ highly-respected channel partners offering its
standards-based platform and solutions. The reseller agreement
between urbancontrol and Silver Spring Networks aims to help
cities and other public lighting operators in the UK deliver smart
street lighting programs and establish a foundation for future
Internet of Things (IoT) applications and services such as smart
water, traffic signals, and environmental sensors.
“Silver Spring’s proven performance, reliability, system
security and smart city flexibility makes it the best networking
choice for the requirements for London boroughs both now and in the
future,” said Stuart Wilson, Director of urbancontrol. “We
believe that our city customers are setting an exemplary example
for smart lighting and broader IoT deployments in London and across
the UK market.”
“Our partnership with urbancontrol to expand Silver
Spring multi-application technology across London demonstrates that
cities are looking to upgrade existing services, with a keen eye to
future opportunities for smart city and IoT initiatives,” said
Brian McGuigan, European Sales Director – Smart Cities, Silver
Spring Networks. “We’d encourage boroughs across London to
collaborate on innovation, enabled through open standards-based
technology, so that the benefits can spread across its
communities.”
With more than 26.7 million enabled devices delivered on five
continents. Silver Spring Networks has also deployed its technology
in Bristol, Chicago, Copenhagen, Dubai, Glasgow, Kolkata,
Melbourne, Mexico City, Paris, San Francisco, Sao Paulo, Singapore,
and Washington, D.C.
