Smart City Spotlight (Paris)

• Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
• Sensors - Environmental Sensors

• Cities & Municipalities

• Business Operation

• Smart Lighting

The challenge with the city of Paris was to improve multiple city services and as a hub for smart city innovation, Paris has committed to reduce public lighting energy consumption.

The approach: » INTEGRATED SMART STREET LIGHTING AND TRAFFIC SIGNAL CONTROL – deploying a citywide canopy network connecting cabinet-based controllers for more than 200,000 street and traffic lights across the city. » IPv6-BASED MULTI-APPLICATION NETWORK – creating a platform for future services such as traffic management, environmental sensors, smart parking, electric vehicle charging, electricity metering, and water conservation. » PROJECT PILOT – quickly demonstrating improved lighting efficiencies by starting with a tightly scoped city initiative.

• [Cost Reduction - IT]
  Using Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) deployment to network devices and applications, lowers capital expense, creates predictable operating costs, and allows multiple departments to easily leverage the same network through a predictable yearly fee.

• With networked LED street lighting, major cities such as Paris can save up to 70 percent on energy costs in the new deployments.

• Paris has committed to reduce public lighting energy consumption by 30 percent over the next 10 years while ensuring quality lighting for residents.
