Navigant Research Leaderboard Report: Smart Street Lighting - Assessment of Strategy and Execution for 14 Smart Street Lighting Vendors

LEDs have been firmly established as the technology of choice for street lighting upgrades. The next phase of smart street lighting development includes rapidly increasing deployments of controls technology and the utilization of street lighting as a broader platform for smart city innovations. As cities look to implement more large-scale smart street lighting projects, suppliers are beginning to create extensive partner networks to offer cities integrated smart street lighting product offerings that are platform ready.

Three companies have been identified as Leaders in the smart street lighting market: Signify (formerly known as Philips Lighting), Itron (through its offerings from the recent acquisition of Silver Spring Networks), and Telensa. These vendors have deployed large-scale connected street lighting projects in multiple world regions and are recognizing the importance of smart street lighting to the broader smart cities market. A solid group of Contenders led by Echelon, Rongwen, and Current, powered by GE is also developing innovative technology solutions and leading significant city deployments.
