When discussing urban development, the evolution of street lighting may not often take centre stage. However, it is important for smart energy utilization, cost saving and citizen safety. In recent years, India has made substantial strides towards revolutionizing its street lighting infrastructure by embracing smart streetlights. This innovative approach to urban illumination is redefining how cities light up and enhance their efficiency and sustainability.
One significant development is the ambitious project to light up the Nation’s capital, New Delhi. A staggering 90,000 streetlights are poised to transform Delhi, while contributing to the broader objectives of a greener and more connected urban environment. With India taking rapid steps towards a greener future, Amnex, with its in-house smart streetlight solution, has immense scope for growth and business.
Amnex’s IION transforms ordinary streetlights into extraordinary by orchestrating metering, monitoring, control, and management to the level of the individual streetlights. It gives city authorities real-time information about the street lights, such as their health, performance, and even the occasional hiccup.
As a result, it significantly reduces maintenance and energy costs and optimizes energy consumption by up to 80% compared to old-school HID systems and up to 30% compared to LED counterparts. It saves money and is a crusader against carbon emissions.
Amnex Smart Poles transform of ordinary streetlights into multifunctional urban assets. These innovative smart poles integrate a range of cutting-edge technologies that enhance the overall functionality and efficiency of urban infrastructure. Equipped with environmental sensors, they gather diverse environmental data, contributing to improved city planning and sustainability efforts. The Smart LED feature enables remote management, optimizing energy consumption and brightness levels while ensuring well-lit streets. The inclusion of a 360-degree panoramic camera bolsters street surveillance capabilities, monitoring traffic patterns and crowd movement for future analysis and safety enhancements. Moreover, the incorporation of smart billboards allows real-time dissemination of critical information during events, traffic detours, and emergencies, improving communication with the public. The addition of a public addressing system further enhances urban communication, while the SOS panic button provides a lifeline in emergencies, instantly alerting security agents through integrated cameras and microphones. AMNEX Smart Poles redefine the concept of urban lighting, ushering in a new era of efficiency, safety, and sustainability in our cities.
In a world where every watt counts and our planet’s future hangs in the balance, IION smart streetlights aren’t just a bright idea – they’re a shining example of how technology can light our way to a greener, more efficient and brilliantly illuminated future.
With New Delhi embracing street lights on a massive scale, we can see India on the brink of a stunning transformation, which will further present us with a lucrative growth opportunity in the smart city domain.
