The company has the most extensive market presence of any vendor included in the study," said Ryan Citron, senior research analyst with Navigant research, in the report. "Telensa is building on the business case for its smart street lighting by providing cities with an open, low-cost platform to add multiple sensor applications. For example, the company has deployed a pilot project in the UK with the Essex and Hertfordshire County Councils to use the county's lighting networks for a range of smart city applications. The solutions being demonstrated in the pilot include air quality monitoring, smart waste, traffic monitoring and analytics." Navigant Research examined the Strategy and Execution of 14 leading smart street lighting suppliers with the capacity to play a significant role in large-scale deployments These vendors were rated on 10 criteria: vision; go-to-market strategy; partners; product strategy; geographic reach; market presence; sales, marketing, and distribution; product features and portfolio; product integration; and staying power. Telensa PLANet is an end-to-end intelligent street lighting system, consisting of wireless nodes connecting individual lights, a dedicated wireless network owned by the city, and a central management application. The system pays for itself in reduced energy and maintenance costs, improves quality of service through automatic fault reporting, and enables the aggregation and visualization of sensor data from multiple networks. "Away from the inflated claims of the Internet of Things (IoT) market, Telensa has been steadily enabling cities and utilities to take control of their assets, save money and deliver better services through data intelligence," said Will Franks (News - Alert), CEO Telensa. "We're delighted that Navigant has recognised Telensa's deployment leadership in smart street light systems."
