September 11, 2017 - Acuity Brands, Inc. (NYSE: AYI)
announced today its Acuity Brands Lighting, Inc. subsidiary has
selected Silver Spring Networks, Inc. (NYSE: SSNI) as a technology
and channel partner for its smart street light and smart city
solutions. Acuity Brands has developed and will market its DTL® DSN
intelligent photocontrol, which will operate on a wireless network
platform managed by Silver Spring Networks. The solution offers
municipalities and utility companies enhanced functionality and
adaptive control of their LED street lighting systems.
LED street lighting is an ideal
infrastructure platform for delivering secure and reliable
connectivity for smart lighting, smart metering and other Internet
of Things (IoT) applications. Lighting system operators can
leverage their lighting infrastructure assets by enabling IoT
connectivity for smart lighting, smart grid and future smart city
applications.
This new solution takes advantage
of the reliability of the DLL Elite(TM) long-life, LED-compatible
photocontrol from Acuity Brands, improves its functionality and
combines it with the performance of the Silver Spring Networks
standards-based, IPv6 networking platform and Streelight.Vision
control management software. A cloud-hosted management environment
centralizes monitoring and control of the lighting system and
provides access to data through open APIs, allowing developers to
create new value for operators and their customers. The networked
lighting control solution is backed by service level agreements,
24x7 monitoring and over-the-air access to firmware updates.
"This innovative solution, which
combines the DTL DSN intelligent photocontrol and Silver
Spring Networks multi-application platform, brings together two
market leaders to provide smart lighting control and networking to
large-scale lighting operators. This solution will enable these
customers to leverage their smart lighting canopy to easily and
cost-effectively deploy additional smart city applications over
time," said Trevor Palmer, Acuity Brands Lighting Vice President,
Product Management Controls.
