Can technology that makes lights communicate

really help?

A fabric for the Internet of Important Things …

sounds like more Marketing.

What’s so different to a couple of years ago?

Outdoor Lighting Market Overview Market Overview • 300M public, 300M commercial lights

• Segmentation: Within the 300M public lights, 100M are managed by utilities, remainder

by cities, DOT or other contractor

• 120M units shipped annually due to 3-5 year life of legacy lights

• <1% lights are networked

• Munis & Businesses often outsource lighting management to Utility or Lighting Operator

Market Trends & Growth Drivers • LEDs are replacing HPS lights due to 50%+ EE and 3x life

• LED reliability is now proven, price is dropping rapidly - encouraging deployment

• LEDs provide compelling emergency and public safety applications.

• Concept of Networked LEDs is gaining acceptance

• Networked communications cost is dropping rapidly due to scale from Smart Grid

• ESCO packages are funding the replacement of the LED lights – either through EE riders

or financing

• “Smart City” provides a political impetus for cities to leverage technology infrastructure to

improve citizen services Source: Pike / Navigant report “Smart Street Lighting” 4Q12

We grew up in the Smart Grid market.

That taught us to think about networks

horizontally –

a platform on which vertical, specific

applications could reside.

Only then did the business case get really

compelling.

Can’t Mobile Networks Do That?

While

mobile operator technologies

have provided

increased coverage and data rates

for users of expensive smart phones …

… the missing piece

to the puzzle

has been

cost-effective
