CommScope (which recently acquired ARRIS) today announced Petra
Systems, a leading global technology provider delivering remotely
managed networks for Smart City infrastructure, has selected the
CommScope Managed Public Networks with Ruckus Wireless (also part
of CommScope) Wi-Fi systems for its Petra Smart Streetlight Network
Solution. The Petra portfolio for smart cities provides
municipalities, utilities and transportation authorities with
robust streetlight-based IoT networking they can use to manage
high-efficiency adaptive street lighting, add solar power
generation, and offer Wi-Fi® internet access.
With these and other smart city services the Petra Smart
Streetlight Network Solution enables, cities can lower their
lighting costs, enhance public safety, reduce greenhouse gas
emissions, and provide carrier-grade Wi-Fi services.
Petra Systems’ selection of CommScope’s Managed Public Networks
demonstrates CommScope’s increasing traction in the growing market
for smart city services. Smart city initiatives are on the rise,
having reached $80 billion in 2016 and expecting to grow to $135
billion by 2021, according to IDC.
CommScope’s Managed Public Networks provide Petra Systems with
all the hardware, services and network management they need for

mobile data offload and Wi-Fi connectivity. Featuring full data
center hosting, network analytics and Network Operations Center

Petra Systems. “With CommScope Managed Public Network, we are able
to transform streetlights into comprehensive city-wide networks
that support new internet connectivity, renewable energy generation
