Another example of networked streetlights (that communicate with city officials)


What is thought to be the first successful deployment of white tunable connected street lighting is currently being tested in a suburb of St. Paul, Minnesota.
The new innovation, developed by Echelon, will allow city authorities to adjust the colour of street lights, changing their hue based upon the time of day, weather conditions and traffic events.

Dimming levels can also be adjusted, allowing city managers to turn up the levels of light during an emergency, for example, to assist first responders and emergency services with their work.
