Jakarta drastically save energy on their streetlight networks with AMKO:

The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Republic Indonesia has successfully installed a new generation of smart streetlight system, based on the AMKO Induction LonWorks compatible smart luminaires and the Streetlight.Vision Central Management Software, in Jalan Kebon Sirih of Jakarta. Thanks to the AMKO and Streetlight.Vision LonWorks enabled solution, they could demonstrate a 62% energy savings with better light output. With the more efficient dimmable AMKO light sources, intelligent dimming strategies and an efficient control system based on the Streetlight.Vision Central Management Software, ESDM together with PT Lahan Energy, the leading provider of Smart Lighting in Indonesia, can now fully schedule, program, control and monitor the light levels, the status and the energy consumption of each light point and each streetlight cabinet. With such energy savings projects, ESDM and the city of Jakarta are engaging Indonesia as a leading country in the race to sustainable development and energy efficiency.

General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways (GDDKiA - Polish Highway Authorities) extends energy saving projects with APANET Green System:

APANET Green System, the provider of Smart Streetlight Solutions, announced that the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways (GDDKiA) awarded them with new projects to control and monitor lighting on highways in Poland; A4 Motorway and Jedrzejow city's bypass (about 1000 light points). The GDDKiA have decided to contribute to the global energy saving program from the Government in Poland. Thanks to the APANET Green LonWorks-compatible Light Point Controllers and the Streetlight.Vision Software, the GDDKiA saved 46% of energy on the first part of A1 motorway. From a maintenance point of view, they have also removed night patrols, drastically reducing the use of service cars to visually identify lamp failures and increasing the safety on the lit areas. In addition to its powerline Light Point Controllers, APANET Green System has extended its portfolio of control devices with new noise pollution and weather sensors (Apanet GreenNodes) and is planning to extend again with new Smart City devices to be announced soon.

Rongwen Smartens Chinese City’s Streetlights:

Rongwen, the leading Energy Saving Company in China, has deployed 10,602 new generation LonWorks-compatible LED streetlights with the Streetlight.Vision Control and Monitoring system in the city of Dongguan, China. This EMC (Energy Management Contract) project will benefit the city with a minimum of 7.2 million kWh of saved electricity every year ! Rongwen will replace the old energy-consuming lamps with its latest "Internet of Thing" LED streetlights, and use Streetlight.Vision’s Control and Monitoring system to increase energy-saving and enhance maintenance efficiency.
